I think I'd rather see a nerf to Accuracy.

Hard hitting crit builds would fall in line with high APS builds and RT builds if it was a made little harder for crit to get high accuracy.

The state of balance with daggers leaving all other melee weapons behind by far and people defending the position of them (for whatever reason) is a ridiculous one.

I don't know if you have played together with a 400k reave dagger build in a group or not yet. If you had you would know that such dagger builds deal with the highest content in the game faster than you can say "one".

The question is if you want to enable all weapons to create these 400k+ reave dagger builds and the likes or not.
The anser imo is easy: This build (as an example) would be even way overpowered for the existing content in the game with only 150k dps instead of 420k.


Obviously this leaves us only with the option to mainly nerf daggers because they are way too strong and completely out of bounds.

Buffing all melee weapons to this kind of level would simply make everyone feel like dagger elitist (I mirrored a dagger instead of a 2 hand axe you moron and therefore I am better and more intelligent than you and deserve to keep this status). Unfortunately there is no content in the game that requires such high dps at all. If you one hit 78 map bosses or one hit them makes no difference. If you 3 hit or 5 hit them barely does.

I played with a 350k flicker strike dagger recently. I was sure he is playing most of the time alone as the other friend in the group with us was as well walking behind him exclusivly like me. The flicker guy was 1hitting just everything and we were walking behind and watching. Yes lets make all kind of weapons like this please.



What I want to say with this: It is very clear that in the whole picture daggers are way too strong and other weapons maybe only slightly to weak and not the opposite.

The optimal choice after diminishing returns is still stack Crit/crit multiplier on the fastest weapon with the base crit chance, and after you are little over the cap you stack other multis such as more attack speed, weapon elemental damage ect all the way to flat damage if you must.

You are still milking it for every last percent you can get, that is what min-maxing is. Also what the hell is comboing crit with "other synergistic" skills. Crit combo with every single skill that can crit because it increases it's damage and applies the status effect automatically. It does not broaden build diversity because if you are intended to build more damage, outside stacking damage of your weapon type/category/elemental/physical type the only way to build from there is crit or attack speed.

When you go crit melee, the only thing that keeps you alive is your leech. Really, after so many points that you need to invest on crit, there is not much room for increasing your defenses. And daggers generaly do shit damage when they do not crit, so it's something that you will not be able to rely on anymore.
