Why are only melee punished by weapon specific skill gems?
nah you know what its friday and I am going home. GGG knows what they are on about with weapon specific skills, and they know why. If people cant deal with it, well that is their problem. Hell GGG just might come in and change it, no skin off my back, just trying to explain why it was that way in the first place. GGG, dont get trolled out of your mechanics.

" Oh, are you still here? " Except for the melee weapons that don't work with their skill choices. But we can't talk about those, no sir. " Better than where you've stuck your finger, I'd reckon. Perhaps you'd care to share with us one of these stunning revelations regarding game balance? Care to explain how the game would fly all out of whack if, FSM forbid, we let players ground slam with a sword? Or better yet... care to revisit this thread X months from now, when GGG enables swords on Ground Slam, and explain why the game didn't melt into a puddle of goo, as you are so desperate to imply?

too bad too that this kid had to resort to trolling instead of trying to defend his stance on why swords would need to be able to ground slam.

I really don't see the issue with the different skills for different weapon types. Why even have different melee weapons in a game if they can all use the same skills? As to comparing the amount of ranged attacks a bow user cannot use, well that just boils down to a lack of wand only skills.

" Melee weapons already feature variety in their intrinsic characteristics. And most melee skills can use most weapons anyway. All we're looking to do is fill in the blanks. Really, I could ask the opposite question: if the weapons are supposed to be distinct, then why is there so much overlap already in the allowable weapons for melee gem skills? Why aren't they distinguished further? GREENS vs. REDS: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/392/page/246#p811501

Guys, wait, hold on.
Xaxyx is right. Actually, he's more than right. I should be able to shoot exploding arrows from my club. Shit doesn't even make sense for it not to. I mean, what REALLY is the difference? There's magic in the game so anything is possible. There's already skills that can be used by all weapon types, why have any variety? I mean, if I want to hit the badguys with heavystrike when they get close and all I have is a bow, I'm totally screwed right now. I went to Burgerking once and got it my way, I should have it my way here. Skittles are colorful. Cars beep and weebles wobble. I can't even believe you GGG. |

" That is a really pointless conclusion. It's like saying that Daggers can use 100% of all dagger skills. NO SHIT! The bow specific skills just a set of skills that require a particular weapon type, just like any other skills. Is the problem that you can't LA with a sword, or what? |
