So I guess this will be another league dominated by Shaper phys-to-ele sticks.
" The therm "stat stick" is when somebody uses a weapon only to gain its global modifiers without actually using the weapon itself. Things like "tempestuous steal" or "the princess"(search poe wiki for these unique's) have global modifiers(added % of physical damage as element) that will be applied to your main attacks even if you do not use the weapon to hit with. That should somewhat cover it or at least show you the beginning. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

" Stat-sticks are weapons that in general provide a global bonus, that can be used even if you dont attack with the weapon itself. This can be abused mainly by using a skill that is locked to a selection of weapons or only uses the mainhand(e.g. Sunder, Reave, Bladeflurry etc.). In such a case you get the global effect of the stat-stick, without actually suffering the consequence of its subpar dps. On top of this in this in this game dualwielding is coded in a way, where you get the full benefit(20%more phys attack dmg, 10% more as, 15% block), even if the second weapon is not actually used by your mainskill. This leads to a situation where you can get >100% of phys damage added as elemental from your offhand without sacrificing anything for it. The consequence of this is, that every skill and "melee-attack-style"(2handers, Sword n Board, true dw) that can't make use of this is subpar, because they fall behind in damage by a huge marging. The Bestiary league proved once and for all, that GGG only listens to crying instead of well thought out criticism. Последняя редакция: Temeritas#5526. Время: 1 мар. 2018 г., 10:00:24

" It's gotten from crazy to absolutely ridiculous levels with the introduction of Shaper stat sticks. Pretty much renders every other type of weapon style (2H / SnB / True DW etc) obsolete as it simply cannot compete. The amount of multipliers is bonkers for a single slot item. |
|
" SOME spells and melee are now so much stronger than every other option that you are literally playing with a handicap if you want to use anything else. Yes that's great balancing. Kudos to the devs. |

what is this so called fake duel wield, and why is it being called that?

" Keep quite, don't tell them -.-° |
|
" Fake DW is when you equip 2 weapons but only use 1 for your skills and the other only for its secondary effects (see the stat-stick descriptions on the previous page). You get all the boni of dw (treenodes, any equipment "while dualwielding" effect and the numerical boosts provided by dw) without any downside. Because of this any skill/melee-playstyle(2handers, Sword n Board, true dw) that can't make us of it is bad in comparison at the moment (maybe Moltenstrike as the only real exception, as it is ridicolously overtuned by itself with Ancestral Call + threshold jewels). The Bestiary league proved once and for all, that GGG only listens to crying instead of well thought out criticism.

" are you insane? Of course you would lol, wut? So you use a lyco shield, your chance to hit goes from 91% to 100%, youd drop 9% of your damage taking it off. Deaths hand statstick you get 20% more attack damage from being dual wield, so taking it off you lose 20% of your damage... ok so we already have more damage than a lyco, and then 10% more attack speed, so now weve got a LOT more damage than a lyco, and we havent even got to the weapon yet, a white weapon would be giving you more damage at this point lol. So then you get 30% of phys as extra chaos + endless powercharge generation + 22% wed. Any circumstances? I find it hard to picture a circumstance where you woudlnt get more damage from using a unique statstick. In a lot of cases ud get more damage even if your unique stat stick didnt have any mods that were actually global statstick mods. " only after they release a new exciting shield throw skill thats essentially designed for stat sticks, will make them more popular than ever, will have the perceived capability of the skill completely centred around them, so that when they nerf them they will be destroying everyones new favourite build because you know... stupid x stupid = GGG balance team. Every player who ragequits over GGGs nerfs, GGG deserve it, because theyre idiots who rush broken shit into the game that should never be there, that anyone with any grasp of the game can see within 5 seconds of looking at it should never be added, and then let it hang around for ages until removing it will do the most amount of damage to the player base possible. Its retarded. Just leave broken in the game long enough for people to get used to it and think its normal so when we take it away we massively upset a lot of people... I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

There still the important question that should you use Reave or BF with your stat stick?
