Well you would have to be a total moron to use a shield against Atziri and NOT use saffells. +4 all res and spell block, when almost every single one of her attacks is 1. elemental and 2. a spell. Certainly 100% of her attacks that will 1 shot you on crit are.

On one hand "wah wah shits over tuned; game unfair, pls fix"
On the other hand "shits op; wah wah, pls nerf" Dare I request this community make up your fucking mind?

Also, block and spell block are not op; they require investment and resource sacrifice to maximize. Those are points and mods/gear slots that could be applied elsewhere. On top of that, neither will guarantee your survival; you need to be able to absorb the big hit you are guaranteed to take at some point. Those are more points and mods/gear slots. These mechanics fit perfectly within PoE's build resource scarcity scheme. What might be op, is some means of combining EB MoM + AA + Lightning Coil + Charges + Regen + Leech + still inflict damage, while making use of block. But block is not OP.

" By itself block is not op. Block combined with other defenses is. |
|

That's sort of my point.
Other defenses by themselves are not OP. Other defenses combined with block are. Pls nerf other defenses. This thread is a bunch of worthless bullshit. There is nothing wrong with blocking. State what combinations are problematic, and an explanation of which areas you believe cause them to be OP. That's feedback; this is a witch hunt. Devolving Wilds

Block used to be quite fine ... and aegis aurora appeared !
But tbh, spell block is a huge advantage, a freaking huge survivability boost against real threats in this gale, maybe have it cap at 50% would be somewhat more balanced already, idk ... SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

" Ok, invest a similar amount in ANY other secondary defense form and get that kind of results, if you please. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

" I'm not saying to nerf blocking... I'm actually just saying those two things are not mutually exclusive and both can be perfectly valid at the same time about the same situation. 90% chance for zero damage faced against 90% likelyhood to die in one hit isn't good balance on either end of that spectrum (not real in game numbers). |
