You don't owe anyone anything. But if you expect people to take your opinion seriously, then you should be able to back it up somehow. Your lack of end game experience definitely undermines your point significantly. People requesting you back up your opinion with some proof seems reasonable; as that gives you the opportunity to fortify your position in spite of your lacking public achievements in end game anything. Otherwise it just seems like an uninformed opinion that isn't worth the time to read, let alone debate.

Bottom line, if you want people to take your opinion seriously, you should be able to back it up somehow. Especially when that opinion somehow implies that Cleave is in a good place and only needed a weapon range update.

I assess that cleave is in line with the other melee skill gems. But I don't care enough to die on this hill.
Therefore I will let you discuss it with your fellow mates with triple /death digits.

Nubatron gave you the most respectful response you could probably get on these forums and you retort with an insult.

You could hit 100 and it would mean very little since you have yet to beat shaper once. You've never had a complete atlas and completed the challenge of all those rare corrupted red maps. You've never progressed far enough to slot 3 let alone 4 voidstones, which is kinda odd since you've got credit for a sirus kill.

Everyone's experience and enjoyment is different and to each their own - but when you start making claims about the state of the game, you actually have to have experience in multiple facets of said game. Shaper is practically a baseline now give how maven shaper is like an uber elder fight and then there's taking the node and fighting uber shaper... I tried once and didn't want to waste frags trying to learn to survive the bullet hell without zana shielding.

Fire trap doesn't have this amazing scaling you think it has, explosive arrow ballista is far better - of course that also means investing in plus skills, attack speed, and the plus totem nodes which happen to be pretty far from each other. The main value in fire trap is the short duration burning ground it leaves behind, but its not like that stacks.

People are annoyed because instead of more or most skills being buffed to reasonable levels of performance the push is nerf nerf nerf. Sentinel suffered a ton because they threw archnem into the base game when it had only really been tested by the "playerbase (since we're the only real testing" as a boss mechanic that could be skipped or manipulated.

The currently popular setups are far less choice, more necessity in the current state. Last night I ran my RF through simulacrum, running out of portals on wave 29. He's got the best survivability on a character I've had since herald stacking was a thing. While I've completed simulacrums before when they maxxed at 20 waves, I have yet to finish a 30 wave one.

The bar is getting set higher but the player is only getting more restricted in what they can use the farther they push the end game. Cyclone and Lightning strike are the only "melee" skills really seeing end game and that's because they aren't "real" melee. Cyclone is generally the best choice for cwc or coc and lightning strike is really ranged with a melee aspect. The rest of the melee gems fall short of that. But so do a lot of regular ranged skills at this point.

Fire trap has amazing scaling right now it won't when its DoT gets put back to where it should be next league though :p

Just splitting hairs here really I agree with your post we are getting more limited consistently, least minion poison might be a thing again i've not done that sine breach league and minion bleed before that even with double dipping knitted horrors.

Miss those bad boys

These are long grinds in SSF, moreso in hardcore. I've done corrupted rare T16 easily this league, and the eradicator as well, if I cared about someone who considers "frags" a resource, it would be insulting that you think a simple fight like shaper is beyond me, simply because I haven't put in the time and effort to gather the fragments, when the rewards are of no use to me.

You can get it to look pretty but you're eventually needing some really perty gear, at least as far as the rf/fire trap goes but I'm also sure it looks a lot nicer when you aren't having to gear for RF either. But the burning ground doesn't need to hit, and that sure helps. When I was doing that simulacrum I saw more omnis and kosis's than I ever did in delirium and while I've definitely run stuff that did more damage, those wouldn't have survived the waves. It was kinda neat to usually survive even when I couldn't pop the ES before the channel finished (most of the time).

The EA ballista scaling did set the bar for me tho when looking at anything building around burning tho. It's kinda sad tho, EA ballista was the only thing I could put on my 98 ascendant that was reliably doing over 10mil but I could push it to 20 something on the 94 elementalist. And the totems did offer the indirect benefit of giving a boss something else to attack besides me.

I do in fact think its beyond you, but I could at least understand avoiding it in HC. I'm pretty slow but I've usually had more than one set by league's end, and that's without "farming".

I'm familiar with SSF, but again if you're pushing for credibility there are people that 40/40 ssf faster than I do trade... by like two months.

It's one thing to not do shaper during a league, but to have never completed it hurts your credibility when saying things like cleave is fine. But pretty much anyone who's done shaper would know its not, even if they had done it with cleave just to see if it could be done. I watched someone beat sirus with just leap slam - doesn't mean it was practical.

Lastly - not all corrupted t16s are the same. You can have t11s corrupted worse all depending on the mods.

Eradicator is just one of Elder Guardians. Its not even hard boss. You need to kill 4 like those to enter Elder, which is like dark version of Shaper. But those bosses were considered end game like... 4-5 years ago. Nowadays even killing Maven, Exarch and Eater of World isnt hard. (their normal versions, not uber)

Buff 1000 uniques. Won't matter if they are used for leveling only.

Game needs more mageblood tier uniques than goldrims with some minor buff.

Not to mention, most of them are found after I got into maps anyway.

I feel the same way. GGG seems really afraid of making items more than just "okay" or "good" and it takes the fun out of the game. 99% of your playtime is in maps and yet 99% of uniques are hard to justify using in maps.

And it has always bothered me how you never really get those leveling uniques while leveling. So rare during a period when it would be fun to get, then you get like six per non-juiced map when they are irrelevant.

Here, I picked up a 3 year old character and traded for the fragments in tradecore and now you see that I have done the fight
