People do realise that Daggers do more damage than 2Handers because of crit right?

yea its sad that daggers outscale 2 handers end game. #1 balance ggg

" exactly. people do appreciate just how incredibly strong the dagger nodes in the tree are, right ? |
|
" wtf ?! 1H weapons are incredibly viable because you get block. 2H need some love. without block you are much, much weaker AND the damage from a 2H doesn't compensate for that unless you have a really top-notch 2H weapon. but a pretty good 1H + a lot of block = really high survivability character. |

1 handed is viable because you can stack block and never die, get Soul Taker and go full out dps and probably outdps 2 handers while laughing at how 2 handers have to get a Kaom's Heart to be considered viable (because it's hard to scale effective HP without block).
CI 2H is at a slightly better position due to being able to scale their life pool better but still don't compare to CI dagger builds. [2.2] The Vampire - Tanky 2H Axe Slayer Duelist - /view-thread/1611662 Last edited by Mannoth#4185 on Aug 8, 2014, 11:33:45 AM

Biggest problem I had when using two handed flicker in the 1msc was getting enough resits.
If I was using a 1 handed weapon and a shield I could easily get an extra 80 resist+++. I wouldn't mind it if while using a two handed weapon you got some bonus resist or spellblock or something. Getting spellblock while using 2handed weapons is pretty hard even if you use staffs that have block chance. Over capping your resist while using a 2hander is also pretty hard. I'm not convinced that crit is the problem at all getting good damage without crit is very possible with 2handed weapons. With that said would I like to see crit damage nodes / gem gutted yes I would. |

Daggers were built around the fact they had poor reach... which ST absolutely breaks.
Daggers are waaaaay more difficult to roll than 2-handers (unless staff) so I am not sure if they should be nerfed in that regard. With all that said I think 2-handers need some love, especially regarding defenses. Who knows maybe we'll have a surprise with next passive tree change? Fingers crossed Oblivious

Spectral Throw cannot be used with dagger <= easy fix :) ( but will never happen )

Daggers aren't the only problem with ST. The problem is that it circumvents the range limitations on melee weapons while keeping most of their superior damage. If they restricted it from daggers, people would just find a new OP combination with ST. There needs to be a fundamental change to how ST works, such as which nodes affect it or how its base damage scales.
I saw this as someone who likes ST as a skill. I've used it a lot and I think it's a good addition to the game. The scaling on it is just too good compared to other options, like using bows or actually fighting in melee range. Change the damage scaling on ST and suddenly it's not the best option for every weapon-based build. If it had lower damage effectiveness, it would benefit less from elemental auras as well. |
