Commandment of Winter

yeah also, let me ask, why gems are allowed in pvp at all?

Lol rup

Why should PVP even be allowed in PVP?
Why can't it always just be 180s survival Leo daily and we all just stand around without any items equipped???

This game is just designed to fuck close combat builds either ranged ones or melee ones.

actually i dont think so.
you gotta see my friends pvp EQ. deals 17k damage on crit.(both 2 phases)
200k EQ on tooltip.
75/75 block. Im not gonna reveal his name until he wants to.
7-8k damage per initial hit(ignoring the second phase)

behind closed doors, people have really kick ass pvp builds actually.

as i always say, melee is expensive. even expensiver than ranged. that is the problem.

talking about commandment of winter, yeah it has possibility to fuck melees. but it fucks everyone else. no doubts on that one.

Rup, his character sheet is open btw :) but I won't say either in case it's an accident <3

And Plexus is totally right, and I believe that was one of the main reasons why you sold your sol barb and got a brood twin. I could be mistaken though. All I know is now you can finally beat T1 EA and the rest of the bullshit skills.

Why stand next to a guy when you can kill him without even seeing him?

this is why I talked about close combat builds, bow builds who rush in your face also get fucked by shit like winter.

About Eq, well I don t doubt it is strong, I also seen recently a 1h eq guy just one shooting people all around including me (not hard to one shot me of course haha). However once I played the fuck phy melee card Aka guardian+bramble the guy was just killing himself on me(after of course killing me, I don t own those anti-bleed boots :( ).


Everything is made in this game to fuck close combat builds, even more physical ones. Why so much phy reflect items, why guardian so powerful (in sarn), why bleed build got assfucked by just one item?

Command of winter is the perfect exemple of shit made for fucking pvp melee/point blank builds.

Yep, couldn't be any more on point Plexus!

PvP is still in a rough spot with pathfinder, zerphi, and dying sun, but with the elimination of inevitable judgement and vortex balance at least there's hoping for more progress in December, and hopefully a BIIIIG one in March.

All about the long game

I do agree we are closing the gap, but some stuff are still highly cancerous like secondary damages and I don't see a way they can fix without 1_ Reworking entirely the game engine 2_ Nerfing the skills to oblivion (both very unlikely).

Also the pvp formula must be changed, we have insane elemental damage now with 70%+ penetration achievable without trouble. It doesn't make sense anymore that it still damage the player more than physical. I was happy with the Inevitable Judgement nerf but I soon realize that everyone (including me) moved to max pene with the same results.

elem pen should be capped at 50% in pvp, tho elem pen support gem was too strong since before 2.0.
All those arc 1 shooters+tempest already used lightning pen and it was way too strong already.

I still think my silly idea to have elem reflect items would calm down a lot of elem pen abusers.
