Retaliation just saved Melee MEGA BIG TIME
|
The retaliation skills are dog poop. If you are exerting a 6L ground slam and doing that much damage, then the boss is going to be dead before it has a chance to attack you with something that can be potentially blocked. You just wasted a 6L and several retaliation skill passives on a skill you didn't have a chance to use because you never met the condition to use it before the fight ended.
If everything else about this update wasn't so amazing and people weren't high on hype, there would likely be some serious complaining about how dumb the concept of retaliation skills are. They had a niche use before as a "passive" way to proc certain thing, and that was removed and replaced by just another button to press, except with a conditional requirement and cooldown that make it completely impractical in nearly all gameplay situations. | |
" Not to really knock the dev's decisions because I love this game and have played it for a long time but I really wish they would take a page out of the OSRS Dev Team playbook and poll the community on upcoming changes. Not like, ask the community what changes to make but what the community thinks about changes they're working on or thinking about working on. Just multiple question style polls about your opinion on the devs doing whatever thing so they don't have to read 10,000 essays. There would still be a little division, but even so making the community feel involved in the changes that way to me is better than now: everyone outraging on reddit praying their fervent rage-fueled posts make it to the patch notes. This isn't really a dig at GGG in particular, I wish all video game developers with devoted communities could/would do this. Last edited by Saf3tyhazard on Jul 25, 2024, 1:14:49 PM

I love how when something is functional and fun, people call it "OP", and "imbalanced".
Are PoE fan boys just naturally masochistic? |

Didn’t any influencer make a build around hitting yourself with the new notable that activates retaliation skills with being hit instead? Just asking for a friend who is too lazy to make a good eye of innocence retaliation burn build. If someone did plz sauce
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

" When people say that "GGG nerfed it because fun was detected" doesn't mean that they're upset that something lost it's functionality - the functionality almost never changes, but the power does. It means that they're angry that a thing which trivialized the game does not exist anymore. Having enemies die without a fight is in it's actuality a less fun and functional journey than having meaningful fights with risk and growth.

Retaliation skills... Numbers look good, mechanics look good. But they are yet another thing you "have to" find room for into certain builds. And while I like to look of them, I think their mechanics are begging players to macro themselves some "automation".
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
