Slayer's Ascendancy

I don't think anyone ever
EVER
has gotten overwhelm in slayer tree
It's the most useless node
its not even an ascendancy node
its like a typical tree node
they stuck in to screw with slayers
it should be replaced with

==========================

Now that
is an ascendancy node they should have.

Of course you can break said modifiers up into 2 different key nodes, call em....

"Lollipop-Rain"

and....

"Gummy-Bear Kisses"

Slayer "rework" fckt him up as a whole. New rework is needed,now Champ and Gladiator are miles better,and you are better going Raider/Slayer Ascendant than pure Slayer.

The only good thing is the 20% cull but thanks to the lovey power creep you don't even need it.

Yea, if they made it 30% cull that would be nice.

Bleed is s Gladiator thing. I'd add "xx% Chance to permanently Intimidate Enemies that were Stunned" and "xx% Chance to permanently Maim Enemies that were Stunned. That would add more weight to the "Overwhelm" flavor.

Have you ever played a Stun based character? That node would pretty much be essential.

No I haven't played a stun based character, because like Perma-Freezers, its a dead build.

Daresso's Heart should be an item, for Kaoms do not no da wae.

Indeed, Overwhelm is just a pointless node for Slayer. His other nodes have NOTHING about stun, and node itself has horrible design. "Cannot be stunned" is pointless cause there is Resolute Technique near.

I'd rather had a node with something like "3% of attack damage leeched as life", or "25% more damage VS rare and unique enemies" (it fits SLAYER theme, you know!)...

whoa that's about the only thing actually good about this whole node. Stun imunity without any drawback? I take it!

But the whole stun thing is just not worth it and even less if you like reliable chances.

20% to double stun duration? So i can't count on that when push comes to shove.

Always stun against full life? So exactly once! I mean, nice way to get reliable charges from endurance charge on stun. But only against bosses with minions... or against minions without a boss... and it's a stupid gem...



i mean i've seen these perma stun builds, but i'm not sure if aside from that stun is a thing to go for. Is it? maybe it's an underhanded layer of defense like evasion: Works good but only with commitment.

Yes, it was a recent nerf to a Slayer. Stun Immunity was "transferred" from "Brutal Fervor" to "Overwhelm", so now Slayer doesnt receive it for free, and has to waste 2 nodes for that (essentially, he'll rather pick Unwavering Stance).
As if Slayer was an overpowered class, to begin with... He just happened to be in Meta for 1-2 league, then meta "shifted" and Slayer also received nerfs...
