Uniques most useful to melee builds got the biggest nerf hammer(historicaly)
|
I mean, none of this is a revelation. It makes sense that melee-oriented items get the nerf most often. Melee typically relies on decent physical weapons, and between basic crafting, Master crafting, skill tree changes, and the addition of new melee gems, what counts as good physical damage (or good elemental damage scaled by physical damage) changes more rapidly than what counts as good pure elemental scaling or spell damage, so melee items are under constant scrutiny. Physical bows and wands are a different matter because they only recently became worthwhile to the masses (thanks to bow buffs and Master crafting), so GGG is probably less likely to make major changes there.

I was tired of doing "traditional" melee builds as they have destroyed them as far as I'm concerned. I've moved onto the Mjonler.

no scrubroll Shavs pl0x
It's on normal colors right now, but I got a weird GGGGRB saved away that's for an odd PVP setup. Legacy Shavs are funny in their price jumps - every single % is a gigantic leap. The last 3 sales of 249/40 ones that I was around for were all for 600 exalts, but the most recent sale of one of the few 250/40 ones (which I was sleeping through and sadly missed out on a chance of getting) was 1250 exalts. Similarly, you get big jumps going downwards as well. re: melee - Honestly no clue how to make people happy with them. Ranged just has a built in advantage by its very nature, and if you balance melee to be stronger to compensate it just ends up too strong at a lower gear level than they'd like. (hence them nerfing melee gear, I suppose) +1 Shavs Project -----> /1075009
