melee.. melee never changes
|
Sad "development manifesto" (these are getting worse each year), with an even sadder TencentGGG capability to understand what they actually need to proper balance in PoE...
The only part of the highlighting of the incoming nerfs for melee, that might be relevant is their probably small % based buffs to various skills, and still insisting "this is a buff" - like that even accounts to something after the HP pool increases + res & armour increases... Really, they are so disconnected - the nerf to 2H is a slap on the face of 2H players - that I could bet anything they will not show us how many players go damage capped versus all the end game and manage themselves - on the other hand, their constant pigeon holing us to Crit or EO leaves us with getting along with the memo, or simply FAIL... I feel that tomorrow's patch notes will make my "enthusiasm" to play 3.9.0 NULL, just like it does to my will to "further support" TencentGGG... These days I'm actually happy that I spend $ on every other ARPG out there + Everspace 2 and Borderlands 3 (as soon as it hits Steam), as they all feel more "epic" than PoE, and probably than PoE2 also... PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"...
Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days... |

"  Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

the new dev manifesto is indeed the biggest horror ever.

I actually thought it was a joke when a dude from my guild sent me a screencap of the melee 2h nerf in 3.9
Seriously, wat? WAT?! |

Guys it's not that difficult to understand : GGG does not want us to play melee.
They said its a BOW LEAGUE forget about melee for now and just enjoy the bows. IGN : Sir_Big Last edited by Achilion#0497 on Dec 10, 2019, 4:20:41 PM

I will go mele.
I will farm OG and then will build Scion around it with Bladestorm. I was absent because game stopped working on me during Synthesis. So i took a several months break, missed Legion and came back to last month of Blight (hated it - tower defense should use TOWERS to defend - those were useless, and very crashy - 8 of 10 game crash and me dead). I knew that there was mele rework so i just decided that i will use Scion with sword and shield. Never tried it laways wanted to feel the shield. And with only skill gems from quests and from drop. Not buyig or transmutating. Working with drop. Untill i found Bladestorm and all stances and guard gems. I LOVE IT. I love this skill. Blight ended, in standard had char with all skill points reseted so i build it for OG. Thats my only char now so... I feeels GREAT. This is what i will build during MetaMorph. Tried bows once - didnt liked it. |

food for thought and laughter: https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/e9y20u/compiled_list_of_streamer_starter_builds_for/
compiled starter (yes, not endgame, but starter) builds list for 3.9 as per streamers/ytbers it is like 50+ builds long and there are 2 melee builds total. GGG, look, melee is not some hidden gem people are oblivious to. no. melee is simply worthless as a playstyle and players (new and old) know it. i know these are 'starter' (aka no gear, cheap) builds but why it is somehow a given that melee starter builds are shit? i know there are ssf guides but all of them are much faster/easier with spells/minions than with melee. not to mention safer. why we are seeing the same few strong picks league after league (arc mines, minions, totems) yet melee wasnt that popular even in MELEE league (despite cyclone 'resounding' success). bows despite host of nerfs are still great, spells were never bad and auto-win choices are barely touched by nerfs why is Sunder's AOE and general performance still pathetic while Arc is getting its insane clear back? waiting for 2.0 for 'new animations' is a big fat lie. just double the damage numbers on melee skills and maybe, just maybe, someone will plan for melee in endgame, competetively. NOT A SINGLE racer is going to pick melee for that fat prizez race. NOT A SINGLE one. because it is a shit, auto-loss choice. that should be a sign things need to be done. but no.. 3.7 melee patch fixed nothing and 3.8 killed what survived. |

I killed uber elder with a melee starter build last league.
