It all about the numbers issue, why so panic about the nerf which is not intend to work in this way..
Still according to the levels and balance out like in the spell users that all..

I don't understand.
This mean only displayed numbers are wrong?

I'm asking because I need to know where to spend points and what equip I have to focus on.

IF builds using 1H+shield will be nerfed so heavy it will be better focus on 2H weapon only.

if you are using ranged pistols/bow, then this change will do close to nothing, since using a shield with a 1h gunn will out dmg bows, (since bows roll the same stats as 1-h guns), but if you are using a 1-h melee then this will nerf you to a 20-40% increased dmg boost compared to the massive one now.
In the end it's still technicly "worth" it if you are using a shield, but not worth it going out of your wat to if you are not.
In most situations it will end up worth it by late endgame since you can get 100% block chance with 100% block efficiency and it will be the only thing saving you from a exponential difficulty spike in the 90+ lvls
Edit: allso all res and dodge can allso get you to immortality.

Thnx for comment.
In my case I'm planing go 1H melee with shield.
I prefer safe play so shield sounds good for me.
But I'm still not sure it's worth change 2H melee build for 1H melee + shield.
20% boost only sounds bad. But 100% block + 100% reduction sounds good.

I like this build (ATM playing old 2H but new one 1H+shield looks GOOD):

I'm not good in theorycraft. This is why I'm asking for help with decision :)

The 1 hand/shield dmg as it is right now is game braking and makes the game boring, So this nerf is needed! I’m playing a 1 hand/shield Bleed/Poison ailment Bleeding edge build right now and there is nothing in the game that I can’t kill within 5 sec so far in lvl 130+ maps. After the nerf I’m still going to stay 1 hand/shield the 100% block is too good and I rather do less dmg but never die then go the crazy 2 hand dps way.

It's not NERF but a FIX. Big difference there.

TBH every bleeding edge spamming build is boring as hell there's no mecanics... Nothing... Just ishmir/aetherjump + bleeding edge spamming...

The node just make it sure there's not a single drop of fun left... Half the player used it to rush the game which is clearly lame but np... I think the fix is clearly needed so is the balancing between BE and the other skills...

If 90% of the builds use the same skills and nodes something is clearly wrong!

TBH I LOVE this build. 'Easy' enough to enjoy game for me w/o broken fingers while acrobatic keyboard performance.

If players use any build in any game a lot, it's mean build is good/easy learnable/fun (depend on player).

And this is good.
