Development Manifesto - Energy Shield and Life - Forum

I didn't have the tenacity to go through all the replies but I tried damnit, so good luck GGG. While the nerfs altogether seem quite punishing, especially the keynode changes, I do agree wholeheartedly with the general direction. What I don't like is the hybrid change to life. I think it will depreciate the value of Armor and Evasion on rare body armours, without even touching the problem of OP unique body armours which are used almost exclusively in the end-game.

I am still wondering why Guardian's Time of Need doesn't disable RF since it removes elemental status ailments. Well it's pretty good, but I am just wondering. Also ZO transforms the 30% life regen to ES regen OPOP. :D	Posted by Deleted on May 18, 2017, 4:08:30 AM Banned
Well, ES really needed some kind of nerf, but this is obviously overdoing it. It feels like one of those harder changes, like the change to VP or the removal of the %more ES node or even the lowering of ES values on items would have sufficed to bring ES builds to a balanced level... but this? And i really don't understand how nerfing Shav's makes any sense... the chest already had notoriously low ES. PLaying LL is going to be nigh-impossible.

This nerf is what it is will kill a lot of build diversity since a lot of es based builds ahem bows and such rarely get above 5-6k. Now this will limit these builds. Looking at this nerfing vaal pact combined with reduced energy shield in total will deplete low end builds that rely on these factors of decent bases for energy shield. This will shift the meta however, 1/2 es nerf to charicters that rely on tripple mechanic for survival is a bit overkill. Nerfing vaal pact should not come with the nerfing of hybred armor bases at the same time. Any build could reach over 6k ES without even trying, Bows or not lol. these are needed changes	Posted by whalixa on May 18, 2017, 4:09:59 AM Quote this Post

The "Nerf" gives me bigger questions. About atziris acuitys and legacy vinktars, panthenon System and how much a perfect regalia can reach now. If a 450 es helm gets to a 300 one and a 900chest to a 730 one es will still be good to Stack, but Not from the beginning of a League	Posted by _DavidAegis_ on May 18, 2017, 4:13:49 AM Quote this Post

He posted a challenge on 250% hp and he says he reaches 10k hp.I say he wont reach it in anyway.He shows me 7k instead.Then if we compare endgame gear,i can show you tree with 27k es on path of building right now,400% es on tree with top notch gear.Can you have this as life?No?Shut up,this is also my game,played it long enough to know how high we can go.He even claims he cant reach 300% on tree lol....And you want to have a proper argument.Get out of here Bye bye desync!
