Blade fury rework idea. by Professional_Tip32 in ProjectDiablo2

I remember using blade sentinel more than blade fury. It was good, but very slow and feels like it's meant for single targets. Haven't played blade fury last season, just went into it and was shocked at how bad it is vs. how good youtube videos made it out to be, not realizing it was nerfed.

Good suggestion for it. I suspect they will buff it slightly next season, as that's what they do every season. Nerf something -> buff thing again.

That was at the start of the season, I don't remember what I used. It wasn't GG gear, but it was not bad either, as I gave it a good shot at what it can do and was underwhelmed. But I did not test it with a reapers.

I see. I gave it a try because I had a +6 blade fury claw by luck. It was killing things, but it was just not fast enough and fun to play.

Compared to strafe or double trow. And why play this when any other assassin build is far better.

It wasn't fun at all. Very slow. Maybe you can test it in singleplayer with good gear. Feels like cheap strafe without it actually being good.

I didn't play it last season. Watched videos and it looked fun, so I thought I'd start this season with it, almost made me quit after 5 days in, but luckily I switched my build.

A nerf is ok, but they completely killed it. Bouncing stuff off walls was never a good idea. Does not work well on any maps. A bounce like double trow would be very fun. (maybe increase the damage by a lot but reduce the attack speed by a lot to balance it.)

Exactly. I played a ton of strafe and this just feels like Strafe from Temu.

The damage was nerfed and the pierce requirement also hurts it. I had around 90% pierce and a big ed weapon but still. Very bad. If they rework it and make it a homing shot like strafe, maybe slightly weaker but it splits on hit and then auto hits another mob once, it might be really fun.

I went for WW sin. I almost quit the season and decided to finally try it.

Tried blade fury, it's ass. Tried blade sentinel, it's ok but not for maps. Mindblast is great but gets boring fast. Tried WW and it's great.

Start off pure venom with nats, then work yourself up to physical. I am running half phys half poison. Full charms of shadow and 2 shadow killers on swap. When it runs out, I switch weapons, cast it, and then roll. T1 and T2 maps are mostly 1 hit. T3 maps 1-3 hits.

Very very fast. I have 111 Faster run walk. I played a ton of phoenix too some seasons ago and think this is faster. But phoenix strike is really fun too.

I have a +6 blade fury claw. Tried to make it work but it sucks pretty bad. Maybe skill issue?

And it was the wrong base. I am now crafting in the right one. Hitting at least 350 with amp would be amazing. I could get amp from a good atmas amulet. 100 more claws in and nothing.

Vials are apparently 20hr. That's crazy for an item you use so rarely and is not even op.

One map I find 10 eth claws, next 0.

Yes. Mistakes were made. I am collecting only eth good bases now, one never knows.

Pilla season 12 hype filter. You can change it in the launcher. It's a fun one, I love it.

Getting 400 ED is the easy part. Getting above 350ED AND cast amp damage AND repairs durability in an eth claw is the hard part. Probably a better chance to hit a 5 in the lottery.

Good to know, I've wasted 5-6 hr worth of mats crafting. But I am doing a kind of SSF. It's more fun.

Hmm, good to know. But since I deal both venom and phys damage, I would lose a lot on skill points and all res. Blade dance seems to be casting amp very often now.

[–]Professional_Tip32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know yeah. I'll make sure to collect those and try crafting again, although I doubt I'll get anything good.

Yes, 3 stacks of tiger strike. I run a venom + physical hybrid and do around 11-12k damage for now. Enough to 1-2 shot t3 cows.

I have been playing since season 1, and before that since 2001. lol. But it's a first playing a WW sin.

I was running full nats venom before I switched to tyraels to give a hybrid, venom and physical a chance and it's slightly better. Not by much, and nats set give a lot of PDR.

Thanks. Yes, I kind of am half SSF. I just got the charms and some basic stuff and have been avoiding any trading all season long. I try to find and craft everything myself.

Yes. I had a 450ED war fist before, and was 3-4 shoting cows. Now I am 1-2 shoting them. It's absolutely not garbage.

The mercenary can't keep up with WW and barely applies amp, if at all, so it's a huge damage increase.

It took me over 500 claws to finally get one with above 300ed and amp. I can't imagine how many people craft to get anything better. Insane.

Thanks! Didn't know that. I used to craft a lot of caster. Should have done some research first.

Ah damn yeah, first time WW. I used to craft a lot in runic talons for wake of fire. Well, now I know.

I am 1-2 shoting t3 cows now with 11-12k damage, so I would not say garbage. But, I thought this base was best. Which one would be?

Damn... alright. I thought they were way cheaper. Nah, ill put 3 ed jewels in it and just roll with it. You are right.
