Max block nerf coming?

I really do not understand that QQ nerf block, nerf crit etc. Do people not understand when you go max block you will never get high dps or when you go high crit you will never get high survive as with max block. Same for MoM/EB builds. You have to sacrifice something to get another thing.

Only thing i agree would be buffing reduction with armor. It´s really bad atm. Evevn with 15K armor you get hit hard.

People, survivability isn't everything in Poe. Now you can faceroll a lot of bosses, but the suffering you will take on clearspeed is enough to not make it Op imo. Party play especially is a snooze as a block build.

You may argue surely survivability is everything in hardcore, but look, you will take a lot longer to level if your goal is to hit level 100, a lot longer, and if you planned to MF - infact even if you didn't, I'd say you arwe likely to be a lot less richer for the time invested compared to DPS builds, further creating other issues.

Maybe a block char for some Atziri farming toon, but let's face it you don't really need it to take on Atziri.

Would anyone care to correct this assertion?

If what you said was true, we would not be having this conversation. The problem is you absolutely can make several builds with both high DPS and near-immortal survivability. This is problematic if we want to exist in a balanced environment.

Wow, it seems you found the holy grail :) Would you be so kind and post a link to that build?
Pls consider that me and 99% of the player do not have 1000 Exalted Orbs. Escpecially for players that play new leagues only. Would really love to see that build that has crazy clearspeed with almost immunity to RIP.

If high DPS = high Crit, and high survivability = max block, there's something very wrong with the game.

Also people crying for armour buffs, remember that buffing armour = easier game. Nerfing maxblock/eva/mom etc. = harder game. If you want the game easier, might as well go play Diablo 3, it's faceroll easy.

This part is true!

That part is just NOT true. Either you oneshot everything or you get insta leech of uberness from atziris gloves.

Add infinite potion charges to that. It's pretty significant. I thought they were gonna remove Surgeon's flask affix when I saw the Harvest and thought it was a pretty good idea but well...

Thanks for the reminder, of course the potion part is sick too!

Every 2nd person in my thread about rebalancing bosses is like "learn to play", "get max block". This means that max block must be stupidly overpowered.

Block nerf coming?

you forgot to mention that the other half where "use cast on crit or ranged char"

I love how all those elite learn to play people suddenly become very defensive when you start discussing a nerf to the very mechanic that allows them to not care about the balancing of any content in hte game. Hilarious thread. :-)

And max block is really stupidly OP, so I hope devs take a look at it.
