0.1.1 Heavily Nerfed Warriors
|
I had been relaxing playing my Ruthless Chieftain in POE1 (yes compared to POE2 it's relaxing) and thought I would check out the effect of the patch.
So I logged into my SSF warrior to see how it has changed and the reality is he is nerfed. He used to be able to leap slam into a pack and stun enemies then bone shatter them. It made maps at least somewhat doable. I ran a yellow tier 4 map; tier 4 because I have not been able to upgrade equipment enough to get tier 5 as POE2 the gear is a TOTAL SLOT MACHINE and the RNG gods hate me. So I get in the map and I am noticing a lot more friction. Sometimes I am jumping into packs and priming half the monsters for stun that I used to. Blue packs I am often getting only 2/3 primed for stun. It was much harder and of course I died in the map. If I dont stun anything they all hit me and even though I built Armor / Evasion, I only have 2k life whereas ES builds are running 5k to 8k ES by now. Confused, I logged off in annoyance. Today, I found a video by Kripparian that explained it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95hnjc2YHRw Oh .... you changed the formula so monsters are harder to stun. So in other words one could ask, "GGG didnt nerf the uber arsonist, map clearing herald of ice spark autobomber but the one class in the game that was the weakest?" In a word ... yes.

I think what he meant was, if something is already 0, you can't nerf it further. XD

" If you were playing auto attack vine arrow or supercharged slam it very well could have. Also small phys hits are nerfed. Idk if you can say heavily but kicking a weak class while its down is a little funny. |

" Op says it warrior got "heavily nerfed" and they are leap slamming into mobs on a t4 map with boneshatter. The only thing that happened was the armour formula was changed for us and mobs, making armour break take a little more (if you have poor/none armour break) I dont know if anyone playing phys damage would be playing WITHOUT armour break though, would seem self int... Though with the language the OP uses on warrior, I would honestly not be surprised if they have no armour break support slotted, or traited any of it on the tree.

" Yeah watch the video. If that doesn't explain it then there is little point in me arguing with you. |

It appears this person had been doing this method before patch, as their expectations were to leap slam in and prime the mobs and kill them with boneshatter. That would indicate that there was a nerf that happened. Unless there was some other circumstance surrounding the situation that caused the problem like a map mod or something.
This persons experience is a change from 1 time to another. Not what hes doing vs what is optimal. Why should warrior be recieving nerfs anyways. even if its 1%. Why did that stupid unique sapphire ring not get nerfed and there were 3 warrior nerfs if you consider the armour change a nerf. |
