General Discussion - stop crying about the block nerf, there is a way.... - Forum

You can not get to 50 block with 4 or 5 nodes. Can people just not count nowadays? Technically you can get 65% without ANY nodes... dual ungils and an anvil. I'm not saying it's a good or bad idea to run those 3 items, I'm just counting to zero and looking at gear alone on this one. echo "The world is full of smart people" \|sed -e 's/smart people/sheep/'	Posted by buhdunkadunk#6538 on Dec 8, 2014, 1:16:31 PM Quote this Post

For example 2h users have been complaining about lack of defence.. maybe these new counterattack gems is a way to "block" for them aswell as for all others, so in order to balance it, they have to tone down block nodes overall? Block is a nice defence, but also requires quite a bit of points which make you suffer offensively. I don't see why they would nerf block and keep other much more potent abilities as is (crit). Also why would they nerf block that much and then on top nerf block in acrobatics. Personally I would be very surprised if they nerf block as much as it looks like initially - doesn't make sense. Its pretty simple actually, GGG wants you to die more. They dont want ANYBODY to hit lvl 100. They are already pretty pissed that a few people have done it already. Killing block kills the last safe playstyle and build option in the game. Now everybody can get killed by the overtuned elemental caster bosses. lol noob are you serious?

Block is gonna get linked with armor. Each 5% damage reduction from armor will grant 1% block. Oh, whom am I kidding, GGG just wanted to strip the evasion/dodge players from a feature that should have never been avialable for evasion/dodge in the 1st place, but by doing so they made armor being even less playable compared to other forms of defense. But who cares, evasion/dodge is so OP Chris Wilson was evading/dodging every accurate question during the podcast.

People die in hc for the same three reasons they die in sc. 1.) they suck at pressing buttons 2.) owned by the lagmonster 3.) they play drunk, stoned or when tired German saying: Schönheit und Funktionalität in Sekundenschnelle zu ruinieren, ist dem wahren Dilettanten keine Herausforderung! torturo: "Though, I'm really concerned, knowing by practice the capabilities of the balance team." top2000: "let me bend your rear for a moment exile"	Posted by 666lol666#3140 on Dec 8, 2014, 1:58:40 PM Quote this Post
One-shot mechanics is the main reason people die in HC. Each time I've lost a character it's been to some kind of one-shot mechanic (albeit, lag/sleepiness may be involved), it was still stuff that could not be avoided by alt-f4, but rather should have been dealt with using proper gearing etc. Thank God we have Alt+F4. People still die in HC tons (esp when talking about the Beyond league :P)	Posted by sephonly#4230 on Dec 8, 2014, 2:15:55 PM Quote this Post
