Just a random thought. The game changes so much every 3 months, I think it would be good to have the theme of the league on the thumbnail and header art.

GGG needs to do something about unwavering on syndicate if they want us to give a damn about the new changes to stun.

I've been doing stun builds for a long time now and there is one thing that is certain: They are one trick pony builds. You don't clear fast nor have the best defenses as other builds, but being able to permastun bosses is a good party trick to have to showoff and support your parties. The trick gets worse when you consider that killing bosses in this game is always off meta, and some bosses that would be worth getting stunned like Atziri or the Minotaur are unwavering.

Well it turns out that the entire immortal syndicate is unwavering too, so mapping as a stun build is especially hell when your only trick is completely nullified.

With the new changes to stun I guess they are expecting people to rely on stun more with some melee builds, it's not going to happen unless they do something about the already annoying syndicate.

Stun is the only common mechanic that I know of that monsters are often completely immune to. I know people are going to say that it would be too OP otherwise, but almost nobody is going to play a deliberately slow build just to being able to stun the syndicate when you have a hundred other builds clearing maps four times as fast or deleting the Shaper in one microsecond. Or when you consider the fact that many bosses (Including the syndicate!) have mobs surrounding you that you cannot easily stun either. The best way to reliably play a stunner is on parties, which I feel is a good thing.

I know I speak for some people here, we stunners want to shine too.

PSA auras and alternate weapon swap

Posted: 25 May 2019 12:06 PM PDT

Not sure if this is 100% common knowledge, but I just figured it out and thought I would share. You can have your aura "buttons" on your weapon swap page of buttons. As long as the auras are on anything but the weapon/shield being swapped, you can do this which obviously opens all those buttons on your main swap button page. Hope this helps someone.

Increase Arc chain range a little

Posted: 25 May 2019 07:24 AM PDT

People seemed to forget or simply ignore how bad arc feels currently since there's been a new champion to take its place currently.

For those who did play it however, how do you feel about it?

Personally I find the chaining distance to be too low, monsters are seemingly right next to each other and it doesn't chain between them.

Without having secondary effects like inpulsas or herald of ice it's very lackluster and lost its identity.

Even Enki thought GGG overdid it a little.

Whats the purpose of the default attack?

Posted: 25 May 2019 05:10 AM PDT

The only time i see myself using it is while killing the first zombie.
