Just an FYI, it's 30% LESS not 30% reduced.

The problem is that a good amount of the block nodes in the area also got removed or nerfed, so building EVA/BLK character seems unfeasible or at least quite challenging at the moment.

Id say acrobatic shouldnt work at all with shield instead, cuz really how do u make fancy moves in midair with heavy shield. They probly planned it but foreseen the tears river in forums so made only 30% block nerf, adapt u crying fucks.

It's really a weird nerf since it makes the weak users (melee) weaker and doesn't affect the stronger archetypes (rangers) using it.


It is because Grind Gear HATES melee characters, and has been steadily nerfing them since beta....
For the record, it seems that this game is slowly, well not slowly enough if you want to play melee, becoming a ranged ONLY game, I mean why keep CONSTANTLY removing EVERY defense, and steadily increasing the damage that ALL monsters do?? Seeing as block was really one of the ONLY reliable defenses left that Grind Gear has not nerfed out of existence.

You were never supposed to be able to tank in this game, and they are making that obvious with every patch.

Just LOOK at 1.3, the NERF PATCH, where the only truly new added content were gems that rely on block. which has been effectively removed from the game now.

That has destroyed SOOOO many builds, in fact about half of my guild quit playing the game completely after that tripe of a patch!!

Over use of capital letters and special fonts indicate a lack of confidence in the ability of your words to make a point. Well spotted in this case, I suppose.
acrobatics works so well with casters, I'm really kicking myself
for not trying it last season... its strong as hell after being nerfed.

I strongly favor building another acro caster next league. Love it.

now why would someone WITH block and defences give them up for acro?
I have neither, so it wasn't a hard choice :P

It's pretty harsh imo.
You already reduced block chance on shields, you already really made it hard to get 75% BC(impossible for most characters). Why do you still feel the need to nerf Acrobatics too? I don't get it.
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
