What I thought when it was revealed that half off all characters played in POE 3.7 were cyclone builds.

00:00 - 00:05 So we say, "Hey, GGG, rework Melee"

00:05 - 00:07 Everyone is just playing Arc Totems

00:07 - 00:10 Or Winter's Orb

00:11 - 00:16 POE is a running simulator to farm Doctor cards.

00:17 - 00:21 And then they hit us with 3.7.

00:21 - 00:24 Everything is Melee.

00:29 - 00:31 Just cyclone.

00:31 - 00:34 50% of the league characters are cyclone.

00:38 - 00:40 Spin spin

00:41 - 00:47 And they just use so much increased area its not even Melee anymore

00:47 - 00:50 You just stand in the middle and spin

00:50 - 00:56 and it covers the whole screen and everything dies.

00:58 - 00:59 We wanted a Melee rework

00:59 - 01:01 We got whole screen cyclone.

01:04 - 01:06 Nobody plays blood and sand

01:06 - 01:08 or bladestorm.

01:13 - 01:14 Brand new skills

01:14 - 01:16 Completely unused.

01:16 - 01:20 They are great, and fun too

01:21 - 01:27 But why bother when Cyclone clears everything.

01:35 - 01:36 They are gonna nerf cyclone,

01:36 - 01:39 you can bet on it.

01:41 - 01:44 But seriously

01:44 - 01:47 Legion is a great mechanic

01:47 - 01:49 Like the old days, clearing lots of mobs

01:50 - 01:53 with cyclone.

01:54 - 01:56 With a headhunter

01:56 - 01:58 You just spin

01:58 - 02:02 and clear all 5 armies at once, and pick up your loots.

02:05 - 02:07 Spin to Win

02:10 - 02:11 Vroom Vroom

02:11 - 02:13 Spin Spin.

02:15 - 02:17 And everyone is spamming

02:17 - 02:20 Free 5-way clear

02:21 - 02:28 and they post their headhunters and do it for free, your loot

02:29 - 02:30 for the Challenge?

02:30 - 02:32 Yeah, just some challenge.

02:36 - 02:39 Headhunters cost 150exa

02:40 - 02:42 Triple the cost of other leagues

02:50 - 02:55 All just to clear a challenge, all because of a melee rework we wanted.

02:56 - 02:58 What about the new jewels?

02:58 - 03:04 Oh, those are great. You can make wild builds with those.

03:04 - 03:09 Add 800% of some damage, just divine and see.

03:09 - 03:11 It's fun to reveal what they do.

03:16 - 03:20 Like how they make my cyclone better.

03:23 - 03:26 So I can clear more Legions.
