Mjölner not getting legacy nerfed

Bawhahahahaha, taste the tears of the unique speculation market.

So I just saw this on riddit

Now can i buy one for 40 exalted orbs please.

Well the only thing reasonable would be applying an internal CD on Mjölnir Procs, which they can do at any time if they want to, since it would apply to all Mjölnirs anyway. But it isn't that powerful, since Mjölnir is such a slow weapon.

The CD was the only thing that I would have expected as a change and that would propably not even affect 90% of the Mjölnir-users since they don't get enough Procs to reach this limit.

Video that I made a couple days ago:

[YouTube] 5-minute Atziri run with 100%-unique-gear Mjolner build

Although regular Atziri killspeed might seem impressive, I've tried the same build on Uber Atziri and got my ass wiped. The disadvantages to Mjolner build are:

• the single-target DPS of Mjolner simply sucks. It can't compete with low-life ST/summoner, puncture-bow, dual-strike dagger, hybrid wanderer at killing bosses.
• The build needs to be too close to enemies, and introduces a lot of desync if you rely on cyclone + multistrike (highest proc combo).
• Not to mention, the gear requirements 412str/300int make it very prohibitive gear-wise.
• Relies too heavily on lightning skills (if arc or discharge is nerfed in damage, so is the build)
• Standard-only, since Voll's Devotion (for Discharge) can't be obtained anywhere else. If you replace Discharge with Arc (double Arc), damage is abysmal.

Conclusion: I'm not surprised GGG didn't nerf Mjolner.

I don't think what we are looking at would be the same as what they did with Crown of Eyes. I mean they would be changing not just what the mod does but the mod itself right?

yeah and the only change in this regards would be a internal CD to make Mjölnir less screen-filling with high APS. I doubt it would affect many builds, besides maybe the ones dual-wielding it with Prismatic Eclipse for even more attackspeed^^. But overall I don't think there will be a nerf to it (although this change even though it would keep most builds unharmed might still drop Mjölnir-prices because people just think it is worse now^^).

Mjolner will be just the same in some days, no nerf, no legacy. The same.

A near 100ex worth item.

I've played the build, and it's no where near as good as people think it is. It's probably the most desynch prone build in the game, it struggles with everything standard discharge does while being much less safe as well because of the low melee range, there isn't really an outplay ele reflect option with it because of the sheer number of discharges pretty much means you one shot yourself on all ele reflect mobs, it's not really atziri viable because of low defenses (i mean, it can work if you are ll rf i guess, but at that point you have spent way too much currency to justify it other than just because you can), and it has almost no sustain because of gem slot issues, especially against bosses. It's probably one of the best items in the game in terms of raw stats, but the downsides really make it not as good as it looks.

You haven't played Cyclone then apparently.

The main reason that it is so good is that you can get extremely high DPS combined with max block, from a range. Not many builds can do that.

its also worth noting that if ggg really wanted to nerf it, all they would have to do is put a .05 sec internal cd on discharge, and it becomes a lot worse as an item. GGG is looking like they are moving away from the legacy system as a whole, which is great because it's such a bad long term system to deal with borken items.

Same desynch as cyclone + about another 10-20 discharges a second. Have fun with that.
