One idea is that you could probably pretend you're a dual wielding build in terms of how tanky you are and instead of having a helmet, have a really good shield in its place.
Don't know how that would work in practice. Last edited by VolcanoElixir#1787 on May 25, 2019, 9:50:07 PM

this is actually terrible.
not using a helmet is not worth just getting lucky crit, and lucky damage on crits. you can already get lucky crit somewhere else, so that isn't a big deal. the trade off of a helmet vs a flask slot is obvious. so taking this and getting lucky damage from crit vs crit dmg vs you is lucky...i'd say that isn't worth it either. so yes, this node is bad. i don't see how its worth taking at all.

Oh, well... If they added some +300 life to Brass Dome, you could think about it. If not, the loss of the helmet and helmet enchant is too severe. Alternatively, it can be used for some typical glass cannon pure ranged build, which is oneshoted anyway every time it gets hit. TS deadeye or something with Lioneyes bow... Burial chambers heroes or something. But overall? No, thanks, the more so it is also jewel slot waste.
By the way, I've always wondered who in GGG invents such nonsenses? You have been placed on probation for: ● Make hateful or needlessly negative comments ● Personally attack or cause harm to the reputation of others ● Antagonise others in an obnoxious manner ● Last edited by srogi_kotek#5493 on May 26, 2019, 2:11:52 AM

Edit: Busted AF but ontop of point blank the opportunity cost might actually balance out.
Numbers wise its ridiculously broken but It might be that doesn't matter as nobody its suitable for is actually going to path all the way down there unless scion. Last edited by Draegnarrr#2823 on May 26, 2019, 5:52:17 AM

This "Can't use helmets" is the most clunky thing i've ever seen in this game.
edit: Point Blank is limited to attacks. Wording of this new Keystone says spells are also affected. Melee buff huh? retired from forum because of censorship and discrimination (also poe2 bad) Last edited by DivineChampion#3546 on May 26, 2019, 6:08:20 AM

" Its over point blank which AFAIK every archer takes (I certainly do), it depends if its only an option there |
|

Its probably not a fair point in the long run, most people think it'll change any keystone its over so you can slap it on the absolutely terrible perfect agony instead and have point blank too.

Seems a like fair trade, for people who can handle the downsides.
Even more one shots (player) vs one shots (monsters), especially with much clutter on screen. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore "A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see. She hands you a rusty-looking device called the Blood Crucible and urges you to implant it into your body." Only usable with Ethanol Flasks Last edited by gandhar0#5532 on May 26, 2019, 6:37:44 AM

" "Lucky" is on average a 33% more multiplier. With a range of 1000 - 10,000 you'll have average rolls as such Unlucky - 2,500 Normal - 5,000 Lucky - 7,500 The problem with that keystrone is: 1) It's pointless to invest so much into crit reduction etc. to make it worth. Might as well get just get the damage without any downsides. 2) Abyssus already exists 3) It's ultra trash for melee, maybe acceptable for ranged somehow 4) It promotes one-shot gameplay even more. Even if it's a player's choice, majority don't understand the gameplay risks and mechanics good enough and emotions will still prevail over their poor decisions.
