Itās not +2 but +1. Stormreaver already had +1 to inquisitor.
And yes, because of that, too. But mostly because:
Octavius went long ago (but still getting some farcry nerfs like that less phys res for some reason),
Deathmaked went (death by thousand cuts)
It took two punches, and the first kinda missed, but Venomblade went beautifully with the follow-up
Pyran just took one and went down
Demonslayer is taking it like a pro but for how long?
And Stormreaver just took his first feeler jab - in the form of that Box nerf on LD set - but after this well-executed faint (+1 to inquisitor) I already see them follow-up heavy blows to the body.
more like, something deemed too powerful, every non-set build using that skill gets nerfed cough totem, then every other skill used alongside it cough box cough wind devil
Actually, Belgo might be a strong contender to the as heās the only one on that list that went untouched for a couple of patches now (except Notched Bone).
But no, I vote for Stormreaver. Youāll be begging for -2 to inquisitor after the real nerfs start rolling.
Seriously Stormreaver buff was just bullshit. I get that itās for standardization so next patch we might see that transferred to another class. Demo or maybe Occultist
Sorry to ask, but I am totally out of the loop. How or why was the buff bullshit and which builds were using it to make their builds OP? I feel lost here.
Ever since like 10 patches ago Stormreaver Vindicator was already a top tier build. Like top tier of all top tiers. Popularized by ccsenn, one of the chinese guys we were talking about in this thread. While most of the top builds were nerfed. Stormreaver got buffed. Itās part of a universal 2h buff but still it doesnāt feel right buffing an already OP build.
+2 Demo, Occultist or Soldier instead of the support to the already strong Vindicator would be really nice. Itās also a lightning cadence weapon after all.
Beside as a non-competetitive player which plays almost only in campaign, i donāt fear nerfs that much. dead builds are only deads in SR 60+ and Cruci 150+ most of the times.
But most of the players, that write often in the forum are playing almost exclusively SR 65+ or Gladiator 170. So thatās the reaction you should expect.
When I was playing only in campaign and mostly just leveling builds, donāt really read patch notes, cause I donāt care about changes.
Iām exaggerating a bit but look at this like this. Until recently all I did in GD is optimizing my own builds and other peopleās builds to the last skillpoint and speedrunning. I like the sense of achievement it gives.
Now, someone posted an update of Stormreaver lately that had lots of potential. Actually, after I optimized it a little it looked like it could even beat my own Stormreaver record from the last patch before the crucible buffs. But why should I even bother putting it together when itās gonna get nerfed next week?
As a matter of fact, why should anyone bother with any kind of achievements in GD when everything is getting nerfed all the time. Why should anyone bother making great builds when everything is turning mediocre and irrelevant.
It is part of the game, play seasons in Diablo III or PoE and you know that your build is valid in that patch/season and then you have to make a new one in the next.
Perfecting builds you can do when Grim Dawn is finalized. That is a major reason why I do not min/max in Grim Dawn (at least not at the level you other guys are doing it), itās just waste of time at this point. (when Grim Dawn gets finalized, I will just wipe my stuff clean and start all over, again lol)
The funny thing is Belgo went untouched but deathmarked got nerfed nerfed nerfed again.
The only reason is ppl keep update deathmarked set builds and let alone Belgo?
Invokerās Elements set got nerfed? Demonslayer set got nerfed? Theyāre not imbalanced, they are not even strong, but the developers
