Bye bye chieftan and guardian, what have they done to you ? (and why ? )
|
Did anyone from GGG bother to aks the community (just a tiny little bitsy), what they (we) would think about the new changes regarding the ascendcies of chieftan and guardian ?
What was the thinking process behind all this ? If it is planned as a nerf, well may be it should haven been communicated as such. Right now, it is just weird. The chieftan is now a very strong canidate for "he was rarely seen in the wild, but now he has vanished into oblivion. Soon the chieftan will be on top of the red list of endangered species. regards Peli Last bumped on Jul 31, 2023, 7:11:55 AM

Same here. I had three new niche type-builds ready to deploy... now it is RIP for every one of them.
The actual ascendency is underwhelming, kind of wierd, not consistent to the class and it looks chaotic. Not attractive at all (same as guardian). Last edited by ArkonHC#4153 on Jul 30, 2023, 1:55:25 PM

Truly weird changes, GGG took all the damage from these ascendancies and in return nerfed all the skill we previously had.
Time of Need is absolutely dead node, if before you used to take it for full curse immunity - now it's dead, if you get curse or other effects removed and the next hit applies the curse/chill etc again - then what's the point? And PoE is the game where you need to have immunity constantly, because dozens of monsters reapply their effects every sing second they hit you.. Also adding more stationary effects in the game where being stationary is being as good as dead. Very niche Chief node with 7 link chest that only few builds use, wasn't your idea for Ascendancy to be more widespread so other build could use it as well, now it's just locked Chief in one place, he either has broken defences stacking Fire res to max and grabbing that regen per fire mastery to go RF or locked into slam skills that no one enjoys to play. Same thing with Guardian, those 2 minions are huge gamble, none of them can be supported by any skill gems, other as well and it's only good while clearing.. defences got weirdly readjusted and Time of Need as I said is a dead node. Very questionable Managuardian potential and I'd say the most positive change is 25/25 block chance on attack/cast which is more reliable than it used to be. +That 100% regen once in 4 seconds, it was bad before with 30% because it wasn't reliable regen at all, now you got it to 100%, so let's say you had 80% of your hp and you regen it to 100%, and then the next ms you get hit by a mob that takes off some of your health, so you're stuck for the next 4 seconds without that regen, it's really terrible design. If this was for example (Recover 30% of your life when you take a Savage hit with 4 seconds cooldown) then this would be really good. To be honest, this is probably the worst Ascendancy change I've seen so far. As for me both are massive miss and I'm not considering to play either of them.

I'm going to start absol gaurdian with 2 worm flasks just to see how bad it is. Maybe reaper idk. Looks really really terrible. That link node seems broken for party play if your carry uses lightning damage... but they have lucky from other sources.

They dislike attribute stacking for some reasons giving to their changes with the current league (removal of att stack mastery) and previous changes as well.
Getting rid of the 10% str on the chieftain would have been a better solution instead of killing every single other node as well was just the worst possible change. Chieftain was pretty neat for a couple of builds but is not really good at anything anymore. Slam or slash builds with all the other trash nodes? No thanks I would play anything like that on a zerker, jug, slayer or even champion instead. Kinda strange that they don't give a big f about all the Crystallised Omniscience deadeye and what so ever builds tho, after all it's also nothing else but a attribute stacking item. For guardian no idea. there are a bit of a few okay changes but I don't know how the rest of the class is going to feel. Think only Inq and Hiero are getting a large win out of it by getting the aura node via forbidden jewels, same as zerker and jug with the max res from chieftain. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid#4643 on Jul 30, 2023, 5:59:18 PM

" time of need is now the go to for kaoms spirit, no real use outside that. harmony of purpose feels horrible to use and unwavering faith looks like ba forbiden flesh/flame bait for inquisitor and hiero. " i wonder if i am the only one who thinks chieftain should have a blood magic theme say: tawhoa: slam skills and totem skills gain a base life cost equal to a % of chieftain maximum life 20% more maximum life tawhoa will branch to arohongui and tukohama arohongui: grant blood aura skill that will spend life to empower ally totems within its area, totems will gain blood stacks based on life tranferred to them. blood aura will transfer 15% of player maximum life +0.5% of player maximum life per blood stack on existing totems and distribute it equaly on all totems within its area (example: if 1 totem then 100% of life will go to that totem but if 4 totems then 25% each) gain a blood stack every "x" amount of life tranferred, each stack grants: + base duration +% increased aoe +% increased damage +% increased size tukohama keystone: slam skills gain added fire damage based on life cost self found league fan

I'm not sure why anyone is shocked by this, their agenda has been to nerf for a long time now.
The nerfs will continue until morale improves.

" Cause the old chieftain was not op at all and there are other classes with way more power lol Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
|
|
" Threshold jewels, bleed, melee and so many other things have also never been op and got butchered all the same. GGG doesn't give a damn, it's nothing new. |
