Aegis Aurora will not turn legacy, dont be fooled

If you remake the block mechanic to only stop 50% of the damage, you can in turn buff block passives so less investment is required. And AA could have stayed the way it is, even if it replenishes 4% on block. If you still receive 50% of the damage it wont be that effective.

But allas, GGG decided to nerf AA (really is it a nerf?) and leave the block mechanic as is.

Will be interesting to see the final patch-notes.

Really?

How about blocking an attack with any other shield, you get that 50% damage.
While with Aegis, you replenish 4%.

Won't be that effective like it is now, but it would still be much more effective than any other shield.


Yeah, still left on %, and they nerfed the fucking Saffell's, a well balanced unique.
What a huge disappointment, that ability to balance hilarious.

These people clearly didn't listen to the same interview as me, though, because I heard Qarl say block in PvE was probably not getting a change but that items related to it might and to infer what you would from that (as they were talking about Aegis.)

Somebody gets to say " I Told You So."

reb post your AA the fuck

I convinced ShadwRoca to invest heavily in them two weeks ago. He owes me a big Thank You now ;)



Don't forget the saffells!

YE

Still works ok after nerf. Anyone with Aegis build can try it, just turn off your grace or determination.

You need to build for more armour which is not that bad thing.. for example you can run determination+grace now. You wont have hatred anymore if you dont build around aura nodes, but in party you propably have all the auras anyway. (Thats still half the ES you would get with legacy aegis in party).

Some high armour ES builds propably got destroyed tho.

Yes because the investment in both ES/AR in the passive tree woould not make AA compete with other shields.

I have no idea what you've meant by that.
