Don't remove Tawhoa's Chosen

i was planning on doing a slam build with this ascendency this league, and my disappointment was immeasurable when i saw it was being removed. and i dont see any reason for it. it isnt replaced with something else. its not op. its novel and thematically fitting. sure, maybe it will be stronger with the melee buffs, but its frankly weak and even with the buffs i highly doubt it would actually be strong, nvm actually op.

walk back this choice, please. i see no drawback to leaving it in the game.

I guess attack-based chieftain builds were dominating too much last patch? I can't even say that sentence with a straight face.

At least put it on an item like they did for earthbreaker.

With melee losing a lot of attack speed tawhoa becomes more desirable. The reason it was bad was being unable to exerr warcries and fist of war and its cd.

Like the nerf made it better, but then they removed it and gave chieftan infinite power on warcry.

I think the chieftan changes were an accidental leak from a krangled passives tree

It was probably removed because it was freaking useless. When Chieftain got reworked everyone was mad that they had to take it in order to get to tukohama. That new Sion node is much better than tawhoa even if that doesn't mean much given how bad it was. GGG probably considers it's removal a buff and i'd be willing to agree with them on that.

welp. all the more reason to leave it then. there are tons of useless things in the game, and some people like to play with them. for example; i fully intended to make my league starter Tawhoa's Chosen + Earthquake of Amplification and i am pretty bummed that i cant.

When I saw that Tawhoa's Chosen was removed, I was a bit worried because Tawhoa was decent and was looking better with this patches changes, but when I saw the new notable I was excited because it's essentially built in Redblade Banner and a 30% buff to Battlemage's Cry.

But then patch notes dropped and Battlemage's Cry might as well be deleted from the game. And other warcry buffs are pointless most of the time because of the Call to Arms -> Autoexertion change.

Meaning this new notable is just absolutely useless in most cases. So Chieftain lost Tawhoa and got nothing in return. Unless I'm just completely missing something. The warcry changes are a mess.

Given the attack speed nerfs and mana cost increases, I would think it would be way more useful if Sione gave skills more attack speed and reduced cost for each warcry exerting them. Or just have it increase the exerts instead of the buffs.

But I guess you just take Hinekora? Idk.

I really just wish Battlemage's Cry wasn't changed and Call to Arms and Autoexertion were just separate gems.

just another ascendancy that no one will use any more.

They're not removing Tawhoa's Chosen, they're removing Tawhoa, Forest's Strength ;)

semantics.
