Id destroy all of you but I can't play my chars ive played for years cuz they got no idea whats goin on and nerfed em.

No more dins for synch
No more wsg

Thats a rip , im not blowing 20-40k fg on a zon when you cant even wsg lewl.

I was acutally pretty successful so far with my zon, she can beat all chars but assasin, which is mostly due to mindblast and, as you said, missing wsg

i dont think its related to mind blast. df is just miles, MILES better than it was on d2r, so you can reliably chain them.
i have no difficulties against zons even when i use psychic hammer instead of mind blast. zons are also much much more item-dependant, so youre effectively operating at half dmg whereas im pretty much 90% built. its a problem that will go away with commitment on your character. that said, i do agree that mind blast makes the duel harder.

if i may make a suggestion for trappers ^ferdia : ban mind blast against specific archetypes. for instance, necro/zon/shaper/zeal. but mind blast is super needed against ww barbs. its a 50-50 matchup at best (9-1 in my case vs high frw barb) and mind blast is a huge life saver.
same for paly, theyre not that vulnerable to mind blast with charge.

I heard that MA skills cannot he blocked and are always max speed no matter what, reaching ridiculously unfair dps and lock, any ideas how to counter that lol, I guess hdin or ww barb is the only way

Decrep or clay golem or slow % gm vs sin? Spurs or strides vs sorc? Maybe buff other classes gear or skill, or mix of buff other class with nerf to op and find a middle ground?

dragon talon, exploding kick, dragon claw, and dragon flight all cannot be blocked and will ignore dodge/evade. they will always land (unsure if there's an ar check).

however, the speed isnt capped, its *uncapped*. and it isnt for kicks or weap swings, its for trap laying/fireblast. instead of capping at 9fpa, it caps at 5fpa, but requires a heavy commitment in eias (high lvl BoS). its probably possible to pull off in LLD, but doing so will require a heavy, heavy damage sacrifice is my guess. and nobody has broke it yet. id like to see it happen though.


kickers have a bad matchup vs bone necros, that would rek them. hmm maybe not if mind blast is allowed against them. but its dumb to allow slow% against ias-reliant characters. better off just banning mind blast vs necs.

Nec with a staff should still have adv even with mb no?
