New melee gems a bit too OP

I thought id try out some of these new gems.

So I decided to put:



Into:



Using Blood Rage to keep up charges, I managed to clear a lvl 66 (Dunes) Map in under 3 minutes. I only have 3 Charges.

With 3 charges i have approx 12.5k dps on flicker.

So, i think the melee gems are a bit too OP atm, this mix of using them means you become basically invincible, you attack 3 times in 0.25 secs with a 2H weap. And move about so fast that you don't get hit.

Yes, in default they are op, but no one cares about default.

Considering that you're using a 6 Link Marohi and still are doing inferior DPS compared to a decent FP build. I don't think OP is the correct term.

Listen, I think you might have a good point here but I can't agree until I've been able to verify your claims. Give me the gear and I'll investigate and if you are correct I will advise the developers to nerf the gems for you, k?

Indeed. I think it is misleading to say that certain gems are overpowered and disregard the fact that one is also using a weapon that has always danced on the overpowered edge itself.

I would agree that extremely powerful rare item+extremely powerful rare gem=overpowered, but that doesn't necessarily mean either need balancing. It just means the person/s who can get both and use them right are lucky to do so and congratulations to them.

The sort of overpowered that needs actual addressing is the type that can be emulated by anyone with little to no effort. 6L Marohi Erqi+world drop gems does not, in my opinion, fall under that category.

Also how does this effect scale in a 6p game? I reckon you will have a significantly stronger slowdown effect than say an LA build.

Desync shall be the end of you.

Did you know no one dies of old age anymore? Officially.

But we still say it, all the time.

Similarly, I think desync shall be the end of us all, sooner or later. You just haven't lived until you've lost a char to desync.

But officially it won't be called 'death by desync'. If exiles had death certificates, I imagine there'd be a spectrum of very amusing diagnoses for what shuffled them off the hardcore coil... :)

66 map el oh el. And only 12.5k dps. You are not qualified to judge if they are OP. Was rocking these maps with a 30k cleave before these gems came out.
