I am extremely impressed by the chimera fight. It's like all of GGG sat down and used 120% of their brains to think of the most tedious fucking boss fight they could make. The end result was the chimera getting a 10s invulnerability phase every time you take down 10% of its HP. Absolutely genius.

they just need to buff the numbers and make ignites stack. Instead they'll probably add some dumb combo thats now mandatory for fire spells but still weak.

Do you know what externalities are? If I say situational skill I mean an actual real in game scenario. You can't have organic situational skill use if the parameters for skill use are a contrived series of annoying conditionals the player has to meet via words on a support gem. They have to have actual use in an in game scenario that presents a choice to the player. "More bleed damage while facing south and your enemy is discombobulated after you crescendo your builder" isn't a situational skill. It's meaningless word soup that hamstrings player decision making into meeting a series of contrived checkboxes

Let's use parry as an example of this because it's the single most hilarious mechanic on the game that exemplifies this retardation. Parry is being thrust on the player early as a means to generate a charge to enable another damage skill. Great. Situational use. Payoff. Right? Wrong. Since it's a contrived scenario, it makes no sense. The player isn't actually incentivized to make this choice since it's counter intuitive and fucking stupid. Why put yourself in harms way with a shitty mechanic potentially getting yourself killed only to parry a single mob and get one additional buffed attack? It makes no fucking sense. No logical person would be like "oh yeah let me just facetank fartblaster 5000 and get off my sick parry bro!" In a game where rares one shot you when they sneeze, or stun you, or have area attacks that are unavoidable and unless you know which is which standing there with your buckler up your ass is a stupid idea. This is endemic of the whole "situational" design. Where skills are artificially given their meanings and players have no agency on when to push that button since the game gives your skills a very narrow scope of usefulness and then boxes you in further with the support gems.

It's fucking shit you dumb bitch go fox your game

rake with stomping ground and str stacking for campaign.
Lightning spear with volt and some frenzy charge shit for late campaign/maps.
Stack accuracy heavily for base crit then pump crit in the tree.

for frenzy charges, you could just slap pin on LS with combat frenzy and call it a day. there's also some bullshit with poison gloves, armor break and corrosion so you constantly generate power charges by breaking armor, then converting them to frenzy with Resonance. a support gem in Infuse Weapon can consume armor break so you can quickly reapply it.

You know the disconnect between what I expected and what I got is the same as Johnny silverhand in CP77. From all the lore and everything I knew about the character I expected to get Vaas Montenegro screaming inside of your head and trying to hijack your right arm to pull out a gun and start a massacre.

imo the most powerful unique aside from astramentis/temporalis/kalandra's touch is chernobog's pillar, which is also so rare that it's just in the game files to give smith players something to cum their pants to at night.

smith gets to use a lot of uniques, infernoclasp is mandatory and xoph's blood can be pretty good. morior is fucking dead now though holy shit.

You can use it just fine in large groups providing you immediately confirm into disengage instead of sitting there blocking multiple hits. That's really the only skill required to use it, know roughly when a parriable hit is coming so you're not wasting time sitting in it and then immediately confirm that you got the block into disengage out

The usual stuff, they took every good build from 0.1 and gave them a triple tap to the back of the head while slowing the player down even more unless you play one of the approved builds like Lightning Spear.

Maps are still huge, gameplay is still hunting rares, the new endgame mechanic they ported over from PoE1 is fucking Torment with an Affliction coat of paint. GGG seems to be trying a balancing act where they can make Reddit as happy as possible by bloating the patch notes with as many non fixes as they can.

Like on the "Maps too big" issue we got the following changes
>Maps now have another checkpoint
>Maps now take 30 minutes to time out because 15 minutes wasn't enough to clear sides areas in acts for some people
>Certain maps now generate with one fewer empty dead ends, the seven dead ends that give 2 trans shards are unchanged
>Certain maps now have PoI's spawn closer together, the overall distance to those PoI's is unchanged

Because even a well-rolled one has an attack speed reduction on it (OBJECTIVELY a damage decrease in all cases), not to mention it has no res so you have to compromise elsewhere to compensate for it, and Gloves have flat damage mods which are huge contributors to any attack build.
Kitoko's was a noob trap in .1 and it's a noob trap now, there's a reason it costs 1ex just like it did last league. Herald of Thunder already can't shock, why the FUCK would you not put Electrocute on it? The one downside of the Electrocute support gem literally does not apply to HoT at all and when mapping you're already generating frenzy charges on cooldown.

xbows being bad except for a few skills was the conventional wisdom last patch, and ggg seemed to agree because there were a lot of buffs.

Doryani still enabled Atziri to fuck with the Beast, he just realized too late it would destroy the Vaal. He's still obsessed with her.

>>521209847
your'e correect I only played Huntress to Asinia's crypt and went back to levelling my main. my point about the debuff is correct though.

but even your disengage example means you're making a point of parrying to clear every pack as a form of damage combo, not parrying reactively to some big chungus swinging at you, which would be the on-theme reason to parry.
GGG putting in a specific skill interaction instead of just making Parry worth doing for its own sake is characteristic of them.
