Lets make Glancing Blows Great again...
" Expert enough to know that GB is bad unless you have life or es gain on block A lower block chance without the use of GH has a better value that a higher block chance with GB but without any gain on block. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid#4643 on Feb 8, 2023, 10:29:56 PM

I’d like there to be more skills with on-block effects so that GB felt like it was more than just an amplifier for gain-on-block item mods.

I think ward can be a thing to play around with glancing blows as well as with other less damage taken sources (like atlas keystone, marauder ascendancy node exclusive from jewels, etc.). They do indirectly buff ward which can be interesting.
But yeah, i think it wouldnt hurt to buff it to 40%. About agnostic. Its really cool keystone and i love it, but recently i started to think that it is a trap keystone. I would rather reserve life, go low life and on top of that retain energy shield (either eb to buff mana sustain (like through inquisitor) or non eb). Also "nine lives" could be an excellent addition. And yeah, i think overall mom is kinda trash right now, if you dont do indigon shenanigans, the only thing you can exploit is archmage or manabond and neither is good on its own. It really is inefficient to do it, when optimizing build correct choices moves build away from mom/agnostic. Last edited by Andrius319#4787 on Feb 9, 2023, 12:18:10 PM

"You don't need a giga buffed or broken Glancing Blows keystone for that. Heck, you don't even need to run both Determination and Grace anymore to have decent survivability. As someone else noted all you need to do is pair Glancing Blows with either life or es gain on block and bam, you solved like 50% of your characters defensive layers. You haven have two unique shields that do exactly that and they are considerably cheap on top. The rest being one defensive aura, maybe some spell suppression if your tree allows for it and you're done as far as softcore goes. No need to be upset.

"It's the one that completely negates armour. Even if you run a hybrid build with 50K armour 25K evasion and some block you will get insta gibbed. |

"I didn't play that much this league but I have yet to experience that myself. My current character is MoM based running a Clarity Sublime Vision which means nothing but that aura. No Determination, no Grace, no banner or other defensive layers. Basically a health sponge with decent recovery, abysmal armor and evasion, no block or additional max resistances. I do have capped spell suppression, curse and stun immunity though. All in all nothing crazy and far below what most builds can comfortably fit. Honestly? It is a cake walk now. The very same build would have had a hard time last league, or any other iteration of Archnemesis, really. Current state? Absolutely no problem. I'd imagine it is the same across the board for most builds and you can get away with one defensive aura, some additional nice-to-haves and be good to go for T16 and beyond. The need for Determination, Grace and Defiance Banner to comfortably survive in endgame is gone. For softcore that is, but we all know the game isn't balanced around hc. Difficulty wise the game is in a very forgiving state and I still believe Glancing Blows is fine as is right now. Last edited by Celestriad#0304 on Feb 12, 2023, 1:42:27 PM

Well lets see... half the people for unnerfing it and the fanboi's all for telling you how bad you are at creating a character.
Lets go GGG... lets get this thing done. |
