Soul Taker needs a nerf

"

I see no issue with lowering the dps of shield users. They already got a massive bonus: spell block one. Survivability vs Damage. 1-hand shield users can tank Fire Fury map boss and Temple Piety, no problem.

Wat?!

They already HAVE that drawback, they use a weapon instead of two and they must have really good gear right now to make the build viable. Survivability vs Damage THAT'S THE POINT WITH USING A SHIELD! God that's so dumb...

Lower dps of Soul Taker to 300 and this is what happens for cleavers:

Soul Taker 300 dps combined with a 370 dps rare weapon => 670 dps
Two dps rare weapons at 370 dps => 740 dps

740/670 => 10.45% "more" dps

That's not what we are comparing that's just stupid (again)... compare it to an 500dps axe instead.

I have not seen a good argument for why Soul Taker should be nerfed clearly it's not OP compared to what you can get in this game with a rare weapon.

the math, as I understand it, works as such. 32+59+25+45 = 161. 161 * 3.69 (20% Q gets added to %physical and added flat phys should be equally adjusted by all) = 594. 1.5atkspd * 1.27 = 1.905 atk spd. (1.905 * 594)/2 = 565dps theoretical max.

your math is the correct one

I made another video for you guys in this thread. Soul Taker not op anymore.

And yet those who argue "for" them are the same ones that use the argument "well, if we nerf the "big ones", all is left is a crafting system that takes 1000x more grinding and work".

[mod edit - removed]

lmfao!

Them arguments! (so good that mod had to remove them, a clear sign of the nerf side winning!!!)

There is no case for nerfing, what's wrong with having a unique that's not BIS and have some builds based upon it?

I for one can't wait until I can dual wield two 500dps+ axes, then you can have my shitty Soul Taker!

Soul Taker, Koams, Shavs are all fine, jealous people that don't have the drive/will to grind for these items. Don't deserve them.

Which has exactly what to do with their balance within the game? Nothing.

Something being overpowered doesn't mean that it is the theoretically best weapon. It simply means that it is too powerful. What is Soul Taker compared to in power? Well, rare 1-hand axes/1-hand swords.

This guy gets it

Would have linked my second Soul Taker but sold it yesterday :(:(
