So, I just killed 100 corruption Lagon with my Paladin after doing a little shopping and crafting tour.
I could comfortably tank is moon blast with vengeance buff up, taking between 1500 to 2000 damage.
My lightning and cold resistance wasn’t good though. Now I have the lightning resist blessing, before I had 19% lightning res.
I could not survive his beam - with max cold resist and panic pressing all 4 pots, I might be able too.
It’s a very interesting mechanic and defensive layer, and although Devs have mildly improved these stats in general for HP builds, to be your protection against 1shots, it’s simply not enough. Endurance threshold compete with increased armor blessing, and endurance competes with flat armor blessing.
In suffixes, endurance& endurance threshold compete with HP slots.
I know this puzzle is what make things interesting to figure out a way to balance everything, but for HP builds it’s 10x harder to achieve a “final version” and even so most times it’s overtaken by some ward build that is achieved with less resources.
The issue isnt ward, its the interactions of a set of skills, that allow, that ward t be boosted beynodn what is intended. Simple answer (for warlock anyway) remove the minion tag from bone prison. all of a sudden your 50k ward drops to normal range
As for other classes not having ward … that is a choice, from what i see, most passive trees have a ward mechanic built in, and there area alot of ward generator, and threshold cap items, that any class can use. Otherwise, leave things alone, let EHG retune for cycle 2, and play the game (and contrary to some of the listed opinions, not everyone is running a “broken” build simply cause its meta (again using warlock as an example) personally i cant stand PV, so i wont use it, i dont care that there is a way to give me 50k ward, not if the game play itself doesnt fit what i like.
Yes it is! And its not an argument is a statement. I accept your perspective you should do the same even if you disagree. You cant tell me how to feel fun the game you can only say what you think!
So my perspective is that this is a fun mechanic and i like it it just like it is and i dont think that there is something to nerf or to change!
Fine, my perspective is that your statement lacks the subjective intonation to be read as a subjective opinion but rather is written as a universal truth.
I also implore you to play without a bugged out Ward build and reconsider if you’re still having fun. If you do not, then the mechanic isn’t making the game fun, but is an entry barrier to having fun.
And your argument/statement is invalid because it brings no logic or discourse to the conversation. If I enjoy stabbing people in the face, that doesn’t make it any more right or wrong. Saying that it should stay because how you feel about it is extremely selfish and completely disregards other players as inferior opinions on the matter.
Hmmm you really have major problem not understanding that you do the same.
Anyways have bettr things to do that talk to the forum with you.
The bottom line is that it is fun and it should stay.
Have fun and good luck playing the game in forums!! bb
I am more than willing to see a build I personally enjoy be nerfed so overall there are more build options and more people having fun. That’s the exact opposite of your “It must stay because it’s fun to me”
