WTF these warrior nerfs are uncalled for

Actually you need to wait for new passive nodes of P.tree and also the old buffed.


Then you can say that Warrior class is nerfed. But P.tree is significant improved.

1. armor is dog water. it won't make difference applying it to elemental damage. 5% max fire res is far superior.
2. straight up downscale
3. manifest weapon is already bad and no one plays it. i don't think attack speed will make difference.
4. straight up downscale
5. this is the only buff in the patch note but you have to play manifest weapon which is bad.

overall, those are bad changes. manifest weapon might have a use case but i doubt that. you have to give up much better options to use it.

I’m not saying there wasn’t nerfs, or that the ascendancy potentially won’t be slightly weaker overall. But to say it’s been killed is doomed cope, that’s my point

Huge damage nerfs on all skills

That’s just a flat out lie, we can literally read the patch notes. Why lie?

Also no one knows how armour will feel with the new modifiers along with all the other changes.

You don’t have to doom yourself out of enjoying the game, you can just wait and see how it feels to play.

Go I to patch notes, Find mace skills, look at them, the damage is nerfed.

Don’t look up

I'm sad about the changes to Smith of Kitava, but for mace skills you have to remember we can now put Martial Tempo everywhere...

I fear that shield changes make the passive side mostly irrelevant. Shield will be used only if you want to use it actively.

Armor is still not good
Less block
WTF giants blood nerf
Less attack speed, not more
Still punishing to play
Huge damage nerfs on all skills
AOE nerfs on everything

I get that we gonna have more passive tree nodes but I rly doubt they are also that good to compensate.

Souls ARPG :D

I think it will be a bit harder to get 90 max all elemental res now with Smith of the Kitava at least in the beginning of league. Considering that no +max fire res bonus from ascendancy, Infernoclasp unique belt is gone and Soul Core of Puhuarte can only be socketed to gloves instead of all armour.

The current Soul cores and runes that already used wouldnt be removed after patch 0.3.0 applies. That happened to all old Runes and Soul cores in the past changes.

They massively buffed Fire Warrior at least with the two new skills and some passive tree change (like the one that make broken armor works with fire damage).

There are quite a few nerfs -- and many of the buffs come with a negative trade off.

Giant's Blood
less life now, why?

Resolute Technique
Double accuracy instead of guaranteed hit -- why????

Cannot slot duplicate skill gems
If you've played an Ancestral Warrior Totem build you know why this is bad. You need a bossing totem (rolling slam) and a separate mapping totem (sunder).

Totem Changes
Totems now get scaling off weapons which is great, but at the same time they received significant nerfs (attack speed reduction, attack damage reduction).
In early game, this is a nerf because you won't have good enough weapons to overcome the nerfs. At end game, they'll probably be better -- maybe.

Also, they mentioned endurance charge cost for warrior totems in the reveal vid -- but no mention in the patch notes. The reveal vid promised "significantly stronger totems" as a result of the trade. The changes to Warrior totem are not significantly stronger in the patch notes -- nor is the endurance charge cost explained.

Scavenge Armour
Straight up nerf on every aspect of the skill.

No Armour Buff
Yes you can lean into elemental dmg on armour now BUT the devil is in the details. First this is a percentage of your armour. Second, this applies before elemental resistances. Third, elemental hits tend to be bigger than physical hits.

Add this all up and the elemental damage reduction will be really bad because the armour equation reduces the effect of armour the larger the hit is compared to the armour amount.

Block Nerf
Max block reduced by 50% is a huge nerf. Yes you can block slam damage and AoE damage now, but you're trading that for "I get hit twice as much". Going from 25% of hits land to 50% of hits land is "twice as many hits". This will feel bad.

Smith of Kitava nerfs
The ascendancy is less powerful -- that's a nerf.

Slam skill attack speed
These are generally worse for mace users until you have uber high-end gear, and even then the math is sus.

The only good news I saw was Warbringer ascendancy looks better (jade is better, totem nodes better, condensed warcry nodes). The blocking nodes are a little worse but that's due to passive blocking getting the previous nodes effects and the reduction of max block.
