I'm not forcing my views on anyone i am disagreeing that "tons" of people like using parry, as a general read its pretty unpopular and I know from experience it stops being useful the further you progress as its reliability drops.

What do you mean with the reliability drops? Its a rather vague argument and I notice almost no difference so far in t8 maps compared to campaign. Yes I'm not t15 yet but its definitely not the parry which is holding me back right now. Its the lack of good gear I currently have at my disposal (I cant even hit res cap on fire,cold & lightning 0 chaos res). I could reach it but i would give up a huge portion of my damage which causes a whole lot more problems. I could trade but I don't want to make the same mistake like in 0.1 trivializing a big part of the content by just buying cheap gear i wouldn't even have access to if the drops where better due to them being like 10 ilvl higher than what i currently can get myself.

People who are happy/fine with something are far less likely to come to forums and write their option about things. They instead enjoy the games. I like forum breaks due to needing regular brakes for health reasons. That's why you see me defending it.

And again even though i feel like talking to a wall. If you don't like something don't play it. Nobody forces you. Not everything does and can appeal to everyone.

Edit: i checked my res again Fire 67% cold 77%
lightning 59% chaos 10%

You aren't talking to a wall but you are taking things a little too personally, if you really enjoy parry that's a good thing, I wasn't advocating removing it I was literally saying they should make it stronger for the players that want to lean into it.

The upcoming changes really changing anything, because it seems to me that I will still need to play Twister to progress through the campaign? I don't want to as the skill & combo is utterly boring, and if you say you done it without Twister, cool, tell me how.

tons of people already wrote it here. For example I use Rake disengage and spear throw against single target and rake field spears disengage lightining spear against large groups.

I never stated that it shouldn't get some changes but people are plain out saying it should be removed because they don't like the concept behind it.

I think i missed my point a little in the last post I did.

People right now are in a giant echo chamber because some people are very vocal about the current situation.

Like why did poe2 review bomb to overwhelmingly negative? People are saying its the worst game ever made. Is it really thogh? I can think of ton of games in the last years which deserve this title and they are worlds apart from poe2. I also do not know about any other game dev team which does so much community work and pushes changes in such rapid succession. Not even games which also struggle with the same review bombing and insulting issues GGG currently has.
Some of the streamers are just out of touch with reality and think this is an acceptable way of communicating their issues. They are like drug addicts who have a dispute with their dealer while being on heavy withdrawal.

I saw a lot of good takes on the huntress from people in twitch stream comments and some creators which have a more objective approach.

I'm not a regular twitch viewer but every time i joined some of the more objective creators streams I see a to of people saying the have a blast right now except some few issues with the game.

I don't really care what the masses think, some of my favourite PoE1 leagues had the most complainers and frequently the complaints come down to obviously broken thing was nerfed.

but sometimes my views and the masses do intersect, the masses hated kalandra and i did too for often similar reasons.

There is a thread kicking about somewhere on here atm talking about how the customer is always right, which is a laughable statement tbh. When it comes to people shouting at just remove parry you have to remember that many people are idiots and will have put no thought whatsoever into it.

What they actually mean is stop basing frenzy generation only on parry

They don't care about parry, they care about the fact 50% of the power on every skill they use is gated behind doing it. As soon as you put frenzy charges anywhere else they'll forget it even exists they absolutely don't need to remove it and no developer would - that's development time and resources gone into a mechanic that has a purpose that costs nothing to keep in and infact makes the game richer.

This described what I wanted to express the whole time a lot better than my posts.
Thank you :D
