Counter attacks are now active skills!
Overread this too at first. | |
It's not because:
1) Dual wielding is still way worse than a shield. 2) Shield users don't get the tree's full worth because it has too many random nodes. 3) You can get max block on any class with a shield + 6 passive nodes.

" BRO Dualist can get 96% block chance now |
|
" Even though yes on paper the lucky block looks good, some attacks cannot be blocked so that ascendancy is useless at ubers and some attacks.. Great for mapping and at most for bossing but useless vs unblockable attacks. Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.

" That passive is really not that good. It might seem good, but 90% of your deaths are to spells. The old old Gladiator was OP not because it got easy block, but because it got 78% spell block with 2 nodes while still averaging 10% DPS per passive for everything else. Right now you have to go from: > 20M Slayer DPS + AOE + Leech + 10% Reduced damage taken to > 10M Gladiator DPS that has 65% base spell block that can go higher only if you block a hit before getting hit by that spell. While a power charge stacker gets max spell block with just their helmet slot that still has BIS damage.

" Yes but its an instant skill, so... automation? IGN = Morlinus

" The retaliation Skills we know of (3): Two of them are attacks, which of course aren't instant. The third one is a spell - WITH a cast time. So no, they are not instant. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
