Development Manifesto - Balance Changes in Path of Exile: Betrayal - Forum

Nice! Now it might make sense to play two-handed or dual wield builds again.	Posted by XNtrysyti on Dec 3, 2018, 8:53:14 PM Quote this Post

The nerf to Shaper stat sticks were very much needed, but it's sad to see the OG stat sticks like Prismatic Eclpise, Soul Taker, Death's Hand etc are going to be pretty much deleted by this. And I hope that certain movement skills are still usable with dual wield after this, such as Whirling Blades. Oh, and plz nerf spell sticks	Posted by Elpinnen on Dec 3, 2018, 8:54:17 PM Quote this Post
Try to get anything killed at melee range in a game that introduced infinite dungeon on Delves now.	Posted by Alcamaydatraz632 on Dec 3, 2018, 8:58:57 PM Quote this Post

Yep. It is bullshit. I dont believe balance is the purpose any more. The purpose is to kill builds regularly so people need to reroll and dont feel comfortable or used to the mechanics. Just freakn kill meta issue new meta skills and gear, rinse and repeat.	Posted by saragart on Dec 3, 2018, 9:00:43 PM Quote this Post

There was nothing wrong with uniques like Prismatic Eclipse or Princess Sabre enabling this interesting mechanic. Should have just nerfed the Shaper values to fix this. Also the most OP melee skill was Molten Strike which didnt even use stat sticks and will now be even more powerful compared to all the melee skills you just thrashed. +1 What he said	Posted by _DangYo on Dec 3, 2018, 9:02:22 PM Quote this Post
ye this will help diversify builds with removing melee. now just limit molten strike to 3 projectile so we can all go play summoner p.s. imo, it was op, but it was also interesting mechanic, and straight up removing it feels like shit Last edited by fidodidohr on Dec 3, 2018, 9:04:57 PM	Posted by fidodidohr on Dec 3, 2018, 9:02:29 PM Quote this Post
Melee builds have always been at a disadvantage... Completely removing stat sticks for melee uses is such an awful idea. I would be ok with a nerf, but a complete destruction of a mechanic? You just killed dual wielding for melee builds. RIP «PVP» -- PVP Guild. Recruiting! Pm me for: 1v1s / 2v2s / 3v3s / CTFs!	Posted by xweezyfbaby3x on Dec 3, 2018, 9:04:20 PM Quote this Post
