Melee buffs!

they don't care

Nothing for us again my brothers …. I was really hoping we get some buffs

LS lost double dip

Sunder some buff and thats it

Path of caster is more appropriate name for this game

Actually it was a bugfix where it could tripple dip. The ordinary double damage with Ancestor and spacing is still there according to a reddit post.

I don't get how they buffed so many uniques and completely skipped the top tier melee uniques. Maybe they think Marohi Erqi counts? That thing hasn't been relevant for like 10 years, and I don't see this changing that...

"

The Marohi Erqi Unique Mace no longer has Adds 30 to 40 to Physical Damage, 10% reduced Movement Speed, or Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 15 Pulverise. It now has 25% reduced Attack Speed (previously 10%), -500 to Accuracy Rating (previously -100), and 400-500% increased Physical Damage (previously 200-230%).

Hits harder, misses more and hits slower. That's definitely how the game is played now. Right?

Voidforge, Starforge and Atziri's Disfavour have entered the chat.

After the reaction of Chris gave when asked about the state of melee it is time to give up.
Embrace the mines.

I had to take my kid to back to school night, so I missed the ZiggyD interview. What was the reaction?

Just be patient mate.


I am sure Chris Wilson is working on how to bring back melee players to zero fully this time. As punishing them hasn't had enough impact yet.

They gonna call it "buff melee" again as before.

What will happen?
Your sword currently worth 1-2 mirrors will get new tier 1 mods. The caster gear will be reduced tier 1 mods. That means all melee players past effort will be set to zero and their gear and wealth will be reset like with "melee buffs" before when items got new layers of life rolls and what not.

And casters like Chris Wilson himself will get free legacy gear again "nerfs" and hence +1 mirror value on each slot they were carrying with 10c items before.

Pretty much that he isn't really aware that melee is in aa bad state, that he might ask devs to check it out for 3.20.

And that melee will be really good in PoE2 because the animations are really sweet.

40:36 min in the Q&A video.

Yeah pretty sad to see a major expansion with no changes to the dumpster fire melee is.
