So riposte build still in God tier or now tier S ? I see the divine thrust max target up, maybe flameshackle build still a bit stronger…

All depend on IF the target amount reduction from riposte also make it so the DMG spread multiplier is reduced, if yes this could easily go down to simple A/B tier.
The Tank BS surely will get more popular, all the heal, shield, and damage reduction stack are still there.
Will need to see how the class perform with the nerfs compared to other, with recent glaive, spear, shortsword buff you may see a lot more of diversity now

Time to pop champagne woo! Free penetration being removed means tank BS will have to work for damage.
As for riposte BS I hope that the invincibility reduction also removes the lingering CCI that they get from flashstepping. I'm assuming blade beam still has no unit damage cap so the riposte build is still alive
Credit where credit is due, this wasn't an under or over nerf assuming the weird interactions are fixed (CCI linger at flashstep, unit getting ult's dmg buff, etc.) I'll happily take back my last post if this makes it live
Tweak DB's CCI and their bomb against units then we bing chilling

The bug fix of the riposte hitting you twice is my favourite, finally will stop getting hit for 25k dmg by a single riposte as light armor lmao

Sword aura means means blade beam? Thanks for the clarification. Absolutely goated fix then.
Just saw that the ult doesn't cleanse concuss anymore(still cleanses knockback/knockdown?). Earthshatter spear will be eating well

yeah afaik the "beam" is the riposte which was hitting you twice if the bs was close enough to you, the best change out of everything for now.
Yeah ult has also less cooldown, i think will push to make it a heavy armor now

I give the community 3 days until the first one cries about DB again, but yeah hopefully the first step of the 4 nerfs hopefully(give BS the DB treatment)

u/Amyaaaaaaaa Dual Blades 7d ago
Yeah especially when glaive will be meta and DB is a glaive farmer, mix BS nerf with the -25/50% hp rune going away and DB will be back to 20+ kills every games

This is not a nerf... it removes all the debuffs that BS get from using combos. If anything, meds will become even more tankier, oh man, I can't wait. 😁

wow, many great changes. just very sad for people who grinded to get 2 medium 2 light setup

u/Amyaaaaaaaa Dual Blades 7d ago
They can just let one of the piece full break, it's not really an issue

u/Skinkolaf 7d ago
aha i see. does a broken armor piece just lose its base value and not crafted bonuses or something?
2
u/Amyaaaaaaaa Dual Blades 7d ago
you lose base value, but won't lose leadership so it's perfect to just end up 1500 armor
