Why nerf dual wielding? Whats the point of it now?
|
To get 10% more attack speed? Thats it?
Did melee dual wield really need a nerf? Was it so meta last league? Did melee really need this nerf? Why can't they buff two handed without nerfing dual wield? Was it too hard to do? What broken melee build is there exactly? Impale champion facebreaker? Not dual wield Max block glad? Not dual wield Hollow palm technique? Not dual wield If the current best melee build aren't dual wield then why they hell would they nerf dual wield damage by 20% ?

DW has many advantages over 2h: block, status, speed, etc.
20% damage reduction is barely a nerf. "There's no thing like random one-shots in this game. You only die because you take 353,456,237 hits in 0.2 seconds."

" 1. The block isn't an advantage when compared to staves (18% implicit). 2. The block is clearly inferior to a shield, which can give a bunch of life and other defensive mechanics on top of that. 3. All that for a 10% more attack speed. And thats assuming 2 identical weapons (if you want the equivalent of a 600pdps 2 hander youll need like 2x 550 pdps foils). Basically a 30c two-hander will do as much damage as 2 * 50 ex foils. There is no point in dual wielding anymore except for attack speed. But how much flat damage youll need on gear to compensate for the much lower damage compared to a 2 hander? Last edited by Krayken#1299 on Jun 16, 2020, 1:46:51 PM

" Was it considered as dual wield? I don't know cause I never used it. If so, why nerf all dual wields when they could just nerf hollow palm? |

dual wield raw damage was nerfed to separate it from 2h.
2h is getting a raw damage buff, but staying SLOW AS FUCK dualies are keeping their attack speed but taking a raw damage nerf. additionally, herald of purity is no longer adding flat damage, and instead is a %more damage buff. So the dualies will value finding more items with flat damage, while 2h will appreciate more % damage and more attack speed. |
