I have 3 different versions, which all worked in the last patch, now they can’t even clear trash effectively. Additionally, I have to disengage quite often because I get wrecked faster than my, now nerfed, lifesteal can keep me alive. Given how BlaM is one of the squishiest builds out there, is there any point in playing it if it’s about as fast at clearing as a sword+board build?
Did anyone figure out a way to counter the nerfs yet?
You cant counter them and not lose like half of dps, and in that case is pointless even to play it.
I dont want to bother to log my dw bm any more.
Crate finally made it DW BMs are officially dead.
Atleast you got to play them, i had worked hard on Pierce PB Caster BM but crate killed it this patch i deleted the character
I had plans to make DW BMs and was waiting on your or Fluff to post something. But now its official.
Do you think its still possible to go ranged Blademaster like you did? Or did they kill it as well?
it’s sad that I did not even had the chance to play a BM. It’s not just BM but others if not most of my builds are useless now as well. I guess it’s time to say goodbye and move to another game! :rolleyes:
Hello,
my shield 100% pierce dermaslicer bm lost only 2.5k paper dps (actually bit more with blackstar nerf), but it still facetanks things like MQ. Dont have Crucible so I cant tell how it performs there, but Ultimate is quite easy due to heavy defense. And Haunted Steel change does not affect it as pierce conversion hits before the phys-> vit (not that I’m using it, the 5% lifesteal from Blackstar looks enough so far).
Just as the 3% Bleed Resist, if bleed not crits its managable.
Look at the title and tell me if your post here makes any sense
Good build but still, seriously look at the title. Even ranged BM should work. But seriously, title
This looks like something i was fiddling around with yesterday. The dps seems more or less the same, but survivability difference is enormous.
Do you go for the same devotion setup as a dw build, or do you get shield constellations?
He had to take at least blades of naadan for to pierce conversion. Going phys dmg for s&b BM is still better option. Pierce dmg lacks items support for s&b.
then why not warborn + reaver claw+ siegebreaker? It’s solid enough i tried it you should get at least 50K dps with it
Why? S&B physical is better supported by Temper and Curse
Wouldn’t pierce give better synergies?
Yes but you lose so much dps output cuz lack of itemization that nights chill just compensate for that, and you have to take sub optimal devotions for shield build to get 100% to pierce conversion. Not to mention that you need to invest points in night chill so have slight lack of skill points also.
Oh. well it’s confirmed Forcewave is new Blademaster meta :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Make it pierce forcewave and it is 
Get me a sinister weapon and i can make one 
RNG hates me
They are almost the same in the end, pierce is more resisted than phys. One has night’s chill the other break morale
Don’t you have that reverse? :eek:
That’s news to me. Do you have proof?
no i mean phys is least resisted by mobs
This is not true
Are you sure? I thought pierce was least resisted?
