[1.1.4.2] Pestilence - Acid DW Dervish - SR 75+ [Sr+]

[powbam]

I never said that. My opinion of SR is that - below 80 - it’s doesn’t say anything about how good a build is.

Well, as far as you are concerned I was referring more to this I suppose:

1.1.4.2 State of Venomblade

So, dervish is dead.

Not looking quite so dead tho I just take exception to people perpetuating builds as being dead when they aren’t. It’s a bit extreme, a bit knee-jerk, a bit misleading.

It’s not about being cheap or holding anything against anyone (except the rhetoric - the only thing that’s cheap here - six rare affixes are hardly measly). Anyone should play the way the wanna. But balance discussions must revolve around certain standards, and green and no-green are two totally different standards. GDStashed greens can elevate a build way beyond what’s available in legit game. No build can ever be lacking - especially in the res department - if you allow an unlimited number of handpicked rare affixed. And no balance discussion makes any sense if no build is ever lacking.

And when it comes to DW Venomblade dervish, yes, it’s lacking in legit game.

The GD Stash aspect in balance discussions I can agree with. I’d like to see if he can take out the those three items and replace them with more “legit” items then and see if it still holds water. It’s hard for me to believe that he couldn’t.
