General Discussion - Gladiator actually got WTF buffed giga hard and almost everyone else got massively pwned - Forum

I'm not sold on glad for a couple of reasons: Most ascendancies have some kind of passive giving them effective 20-30% DPS boost. It's done in various ways, but for most (not all) it's there, sometimes even more than one. Admittedly, Glad will effectively have more, as you can now just ignore the VC replacement and go with any combination of the remaining nodes for some nice goodies, but there's once caveat... Lucky damage needs block first. That's a problem against bosses...many bosses, in fact to my knowledge all "endgame" bosses use spells dominantly or even exclusively. Frankly, I'm not sold on the idea that I'll have to eat several A9 Sirus' spells in order to trigger 20 seconds of my main damage boost. And for mapping, when it'll be virtually always on, you don't need that boost.	Posted by ExiledSarin#6541 on Oct 18, 2021, 9:01:13 AM Quote this Post

There are adds at most bosses and most attacks by bosses are not spells plus you trigger melee attacks in melee range anyways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faJrB4EWkZk This lasts for 20 seconds in the new version which is very long in PoE time - your duo has to relink you 3x during that period.

" Only builds which could compete previously - Traps damage nerfed by 50% It is not correct , i checked it with my build , lost around 15% without trap mastery .

I simply disagree. You also have to invest more into defenses due to nerfs while the early tree taking the biggest hit. Let's just say that your day 3 bosses will be done 2 times slower if not 2 days later.
