Makes me think of how great it would be if we could dismantle all modular stuff.. pointing at reasons like this..

Yes, that would be perfect!

I mean, it's suppose to modular right? Considering how quickly they implemented valence transfer, maybe it's not too difficult...

You're right, I looked on the wikia, the frequency seems strictly once a year. That is too bad.....

I agree, boosters are a positive gesture to the community, but I hope they consider this point b/c of the significance of U26 & the popularity of Plague Zaws. 

Anyway, thank you for the commiserations!

ha, I wouldn't be surprised. You're right that I shouldn't be so concerned. I guess this post kinda shows that I'm pretty addicted to WF. Can't help the feels tho.

Hi all,

Avid player since release on the Switch. Let me state upfront: while my personal Melee builds will be nerfed in U26, I understand the changes & respect the decisions made. I am sure the melee changes were thoroughly considered & I trust that the changes are in the best interest for the game.

Running the updated numbers in MS Excel against all melee weapons, it's quite obvious that crit far outweighs status & my favorite Plague Zaw will no longer be viable. If I could build my Zaw again with U26 changes, it would still be my favourite weapon! No contest!

However, I can't get another Kripath. Instead, I will invest into a Gram Prime knowing that it will never really be my end-game melee weapon. Until then, I will just be waiting for Plague Star. It doesn't feel great & I feel that this point was not considered by DE.

I would be satisfied with U26 Melee if we had the chance to farm & re-build Plague Zaws with U26 changes. Does anyone else think that this would be a fair response from DE?

Thank you,

2. The U26 melee numbers I'm evaluating & the cause for this post (top 10). The Kripath is my imagined crit build. They're personally subjective & don't include any adjustments for Zaw arcanes.
