Stop Nerfing Warriors
|
You guys just killed the warrior class with the shield wall nerfs. Angormus (fastest PoE 2 warrior speedrunner) Carn, etc.
I have a simple question. Do you guys pay attention? Twisters, grenades, plants, etc are all just as good shield wall, and none of them got nerfed. You guys need to understand that everything is relative. No one wants to play a warrior and then watch other classes clear screens twice as fast, and then wonder why they can't do the same thing. Stop this. Last bumped on May 24, 2026, 7:13:09 PM

Shield ability is not a warrior nerf.
It is a balance change on apparently unintended Shield ability interaction. Mixing one with another creates unnecessary confusion and spreads misinformation about Warrior state. Combat Balance > Feelings Last edited by Evergrey#7535 on May 23, 2026, 3:47:08 AM

" Warriors are the only ones that can equip shields or use shield related skills? I don't understand how a specific shield related skill specifically only nerfs warriors. can you please explain it to me? |

They nerfed rolling slam by 26% damage. The main warrior skill.
This nerf is a direct blow to meaningful combat. |

" probably something to do with the new support/buff skills being added, so let us wait and see how it shakes out. lets not overreact like everyone did with the 25% reduction to max block soft cap, that turned out to be a big ole nothing burger. . . EDIT: I actually went back and did the math, it wasnt nerfed. . .I suggest you go do some math homework and see for yourself. Last edited by thawn4444#3507 on May 23, 2026, 1:03:58 PM

" The yalso reduced it's Added Attack time by 33%. Ignorance, really. Cherry picking. Also it is not a Warrior Skill. It is a Mace skill. Like, learn the distinction of what Warrior is and what Abilities are. Combat Balance > Feelings Last edited by Evergrey#7535 on May 23, 2026, 12:37:34 PM

" if you do the math, rolling slam actually got buffed. . .significantly. i really do wish they would get rid of minimum cast/attack time, it means no matter how much I invest into speed I can't ever go below a certain hard cap which limits vectors dps improvement. |

"The math" "the math " The math"
Combat is not only measured by math. It will payoff if you strike A STATIC DUMMY? yes. IT will payoff if you have to dodge? NO. Many times the window attack is the same... you wont be able to strike 2 consecutive rolling slams (4 hits) to make it pay off. Last edited by rdm0O0Etly#4601 on May 23, 2026, 1:21:41 PM

" That's a fair point. It's why we keep seeing blood mages with bows and such. These magician type ascendancies are better at doing the up close and personal fight as well, just equip that unique helm with eyes all around it. |
