You killed Endless Heist and it was not even intended? Smthng. Care reverting this?

The Gain Adrenaline for 1 second when you switch stance Mastery seems too strong. Will you change it?

I hope there is more to the combat than what is shown in the content reveal. It looks like another 'kill things in a circle league' - which can be fine. But this one looks bland.

Breach added time pressure

Ritual and Ultimatum added "arena" (2D spatial) pressure.

In-map combat of Harvest and Expedition* was pretty bland, but they were totally carried by the systems and rewards behind them which were very fun and powerful.

Will the combat in Crucible be bland, or is there something spicy about it? Not just making it '100% delirious monster' levels of difficult - but a real hook.

If bland, will the skill trees be enough to carry the league? Idk...


*I give whoever did mob design in Expedition credit; between block chance and ward and the unique spells the mages use those monsters are much more interesting than all the mobs in the base game combined.

Did you really just ask if a whole new set of skill trees that add insane amounts of power just from the previewed ones will be enough to carry a league about killing strong monsters in a circle? That's some funny shit, obviously the reward is gonna be worth it.

Disappointed but not surprised they purposefully created stance dancing for this patch but now are “reviewing” it because of complaints. How many times have people complained that nerfs were too heavy handed and GGG last minute decided to change it? Literally numerous concerns with other nerfs or things that were overnerfed with previous patches and their answer is always “we aren’t going to do anything about it” or “we may look into it for future patches.”

If you don’t want classes putting on stance skills just to gain adrenaline then maybe tie it to the skills that have unique interactions with stances (bladestorm, lacerate, and perforate). None of this skills are meta and would be interesting to make them powerful for a league. Or, give stance switching a longer internal cooldown that is reduced when a melee skill is used. This is a major win for melee and I suspect most of the people complaining about it feel like they’d have to put a stance skill on even though it doesn’t normally benefit their build as much as having a different skill.

There are other solutions than simply gutting the idea because Ranger meta doesn’t want to have to use reservation on something that will only give them adrenaline and have limited to no usefulness of the stance itself.

The other common complaint I’ve heard is that people don’t watch to put stance on left click like it’s some new concept being forced on them. Players already use left click for all types of skills they want to essentially auto cast… molten shell, steel skin, withering step, I could go on. Why complain now about having to map something to left click like it’s going to give you hand cramps. It’s super common to already do this.
