The Elden Ring DLC Deflect Greathammer Experience is Perfectly Balanced

I'm alive guys (again)! So the Elden Ring DLC - Shadow of the Erdtree introduced a new crystal tear adding Sekiro-like deflects, which can entirely change players approach to the gameplay. Paired with a strong guard counter oriented build like the Blacksteel Greathammer and the right items, this trivializes the entire DLC despite its infamous reputation of difficulty... in a way that's completely Miyazaki approved. Now imagine unleashing it in the base game... :)
