[2.5 Breach] Saito's Shield Charger - Life, Facebreaker, non crit
|
Curious how viable this will be in Legacy after the AoE size nerfs
| |
|
I hope this is viable come 2.6. Been looking forward to doing this for a few weeks.

If I counted right, this build expects +150% inc area, so nerf probably will hit it pretty hard, unless Shield Charge's base AoE value gonna be increased. #patchnoteshype

" How much do you think the AoE is actually getting nerfed though? | |
" I'm not qualified to tell, but there is no mention of Shield Charge in patch notes, it doesn't look good. Projectiles probably would be a safe idea to start the league :( |

I think the area will be somewhere around 70-80% of the old value. That of course isn't knowledge, but a realistic guess imho.
It will still be playable, but now you might actually NEED Carcass Jack to do fine. I'll not play this as a starter - going for a projectile build. If it's playable (and/or I get a legacy facebeaker^^), I might swap to it. Not sure yet... | |

Do you guys think this build lost so much potential after the aoe changes? Still good starter build?

The concerns posted here are all about losing AoE. The way I see it, if it is a big nerf, we won't be 1-shotting the whole screen (or close to it) but instead just a tighter (but still large) radius around you. The damage overall will increase due to how many gear items have legacy versions and the potential of a strong +damage totem amulet. The legacy items should drive down the prices of the non-legacy versions, so I still see this being a good league starter that has the potential to really take on bosses through legacy gear + cyclone. The clear speed will be a bit worse due to the decrease in AoE, but it's still going to be very high due to shield charge's mechanics and a good amount of inc. aoe on gear, passives and gems. I'm still rolling it first thing tomorrow, hopefully it goes well!

After digging deeper here, I am more concerned. If I'm reading this google doc showing the AoE % changes correctly, our closest equivalent is Q23:
- 2 clusters (we only have one, but we increase our AoE by 15% through Martial Artistry) - Inc. AoE support - Carcass Jack - Slayer https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/161PEMgaN6sHRy-tV7B06kP1_f6Ao9QNDGotXJcYpeHw/htmlview?sle=true#gid=84557241 Based on that, we're looking at a nearly 50% decrease in radius for shield charge, which is very substantial. Am I reading all of this correctly? If so, I may be changing my starter build. | |

How can u farm uber lab? I mind izaro just one shotes me with 6.2k of life and medium/high gear. Do you think is an option remove abyssus for the fight and make it slower but safer?
