Tree Builds Fucked

New update has invalidated all tree builds.

cleaves take longer than a normal attack with the tree, whirlwinds are even worse.

So a build that is used by 1% of the server population, and only 1/4 of those people make it actually work properly...  lets totally fuck that build.  gonna balance the game right there.

So 3.5 years of building trees is now gone.  tweaking my builds.......   useless Smiley thanks cordo.



So....   What the fuck am I gonna build now for endgame?  Ive spent over 3 years of my life tweaking my tree into the badest-ass version Ive ever seen...   Im very very lost now.


Someone tell me what build is DPS heavy, survivable, solos reaper 3-5 without too much constraint, and can be a big party help in legendary reaper high skull.


Tree builds are now completely and utterly fubar'd

Literally any other melee, provided it's sufficiently optimized.

Sorry man.  I always loved trees as a good looking play, even if it seemed that only about half of them were played well.  But hell, only half of any class is played well.
  

No, let me be Frank.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

Discouraging. Those builds required indepth knowledge of client server interaction, class knowledge, gear knowledge, were heavy plife dependant, managment whores and required extreme knowledge of every mobs.patterns.
Yes a good tree looks like it needed a nerf but to get to that point you had to explore everything inthe game and always be well informed on any change that would interact with trees. Oh well, time to move on, maybe some kind ac bear like steel did back in the day

yep. rip trees. at least i got to fuck around one last time before the deletions on my monk tree. it was one of the easiest builds for low life characters to do well in ee. mostly from the defenses and all aoe damage. but i guess everyone will just switch to bear for the next few months before nerfs. because, you know, ssg dps "tested" bears and found that it isnt over performing until July/August.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Anyone notice a change to whirlwind in general? My monk pauses 1-2 seconds after every ww now before autoattacking again.

Sounds like the way whirlwind used to work, way back when, when no one took it because of that "feature."

Might be a case of "fix current problem by unfixing former problem."

That's kinda what I figured, but I don't see a mob bitching about it, so I wonder if it is only broken for Aasimar.
