FUCK THE ISLE OF APPLES. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES.
|
It's up and the notes are up. I'm cutting off the headers about new aspects / dungeons / etc and here's the character-specific stuff:
Barbarian
Fixed an issue where the number of enemies to defeat for the Barbarian Class quest Masters of Battle was not displayed.
Fixed an issue where Iron Maelstrom could be cast more than 3 times rapidly casting War Cry.
Fixed an issue where stacking the Berserk Ripping, Skullbreaker, and Anemia aspects would allow the player to deal extreme amounts of damage.
Fixed an issue where the outer edge of the quakes granted to Hammer of the Ancients via The Aspect of Ancestral Echoes was dealing far more damage than intended.
Developer’s Note: We recognize this adjustment is a significant decrease to the Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian build, but we do not want its strength to be reliant on an underlying bug.
Druid
Fixed an issue where Earth skills and the Pulverize skill would consume two Overpower buffs simultaneously.
Fixed an issue where the bonus effect on Blood Howl from Nighthowler's Aspect would apply twice to Wolf companions but not at all for Ravens.
Fixed an issue where Provocation passive stacks wouldn't update properly after adding more points to it.
Fixed an issue where the automatic transformation from Insatiable Fury would cause the Ursine Strength key passive to not proc consistently.
Fixed an issue where the Enhanced Pulverize buff would not remove itself while in town.
Fixed an issue where seeking Tornados produced by Stormchaser's Aspect would not deal damage.
Fixed an issue where Ravens' passive damage did not improve after the skill was upgraded.
Fixed an issue where Rabies would deal no damage while standing very close to an enemy.
Fixed an issue where Stormclaw's Aspect allowed Shred to do extreme amounts of damage.
Necromancer
Fixed an issue where Necromancers could not obtain daggers from the Purveyor of Curiosities.
Fixed an issue where the Necromancer’s Minions would have their life bonuses deactivated while in town.
Fixed an issue where Bone Spear cast through Chilling Wind from an Elite enemy would increase the number of generated Echoes for that cast.
Fixed an issue where Enhanced Bone Spear could cause erratic movement.
Fixed an issue where cancelling Blood Mist when it's already off Cooldown would immediately recast it.
Rogue
Fixed an issue where Shadow Step wouldn’t trigger the Aspect of Uncanny Treachery if the target was killed.
Fixed an issue where Advanced Penetrating shot would not knock down other players in PvP play.
Fixed an issue where Twisting Blades would not come back when the ability killed a Bloated Corpsefiend enemy.
Fixed an issue where the Dash skill would not move the full distance if targeting an enemy while using a controller.
Fixed an issue where the Eldritch Bounty Paragon node granted bonus resistances incorrectly.
Fixed an issue where Rapid Fire had an extra arrow VFX that behaved erratically.
Fixed an issue where the Awakened Glyphstone wouldn't spawn for Rogue players using Improved Barrage.
Sorcerer
Fixed an issue where the Firebolt Enchantment effect did not contribute to the Combustion key passive.
Fixed an issue where the passive stacks generated by Align the Elements could partially reset in an unexpected way.
Fixed an issue where casting Deep Freeze would prevent the Ice Shard Enchantment effect from triggering.
Fixed an issue where Aspect of Control was applying its damage bonus 3 times for Staggered bosses.
Fixed an issue where the Gravitational Aspect was appearing weaker on two-handed weapons or amulets.
Fixed an issue where the Enchantment effect for Chain Lightning had no visual tracking bonus and could also unexpectedly drop off.
Fixed an issue where Incinerate would immediately cost 30 mana when cast in addition to the consistent channeling mana cost. Incinerate now properly only costs mana as it is being channeled.
There's obviously a LOT more but check the bnet launcher.

quote:New Unique items and Legendary Aspects
New Unique items and Legendary Aspects have been discovered in Sanctuary. Use them to enhance your characters in the Eternal or Seasonal Realm. These Unique items can be obtained from World Tier IV and the Legendary Aspects can be obtained from any World Tier.
6 Unique Items
General
Ahavarion Spear of Lycander (Uber Unique Staff – World Tier 4): Gain a random Shrine effect for 10-20 seconds after killing an Elite enemy. Can only occur once every 30 seconds.

Druid
Fleshrender (Unique One-Hand Mace): Debilitating Roar and Blood Howl deal 0.5-1.0 damage to Nearby Poisoned enemies.
Necromancer
Lidless Wall (Unique Shield): Lucky Hit - While you have an active Bone Storm, hitting an enemy outside of a Bone Storm has up to a 5-25% chance to spawn an additional Bone Storm at their location. Each of your active Sacrifice bonuses increases the chance by 25% and the total number of additional Bone Storms you can have by +1.
Rogue
Eaglehorn (Unique Bow): Penetrating Shot has a 30-80% chance to fire an arrow that bounces off walls and scenery. Hitting enemies from behind with Penetrating Shot will make them Vulnerable for 3 seconds.

I see the trend of making Sorc uniques both terrible and to uniquely have downsides nobody else does has continued.

Level scaling inside dungeons and most overworld territories has been adjusted in World Tiers III and IV. Monsters will begin to trail behind the player in Level after a certain point (up to a maximum of 5 Levels behind). This change does not affect World Bosses, Legion Events, Fields of Hatred, Helltide, or Nightmare Dungeons.
Developer’s Note: We want to give players a better sense of their power progression and mastery over the world while still challenging themselves with structured End Game activities.
World Tier III Example:
If the the player's Level is below 55, the monster's Level is 55.
If the player’s Level is 56-60, the monster’s Level is 55.
If the player’s Level is 61, the monster’s Level is 56.
If the player’s Level is 62, the monster’s Level is 57, etc. (from this point the monsters will always be -5 until World Tier III's max monster Level of 70).
World Tier IV Example:
If the player’s Level is below 75, the monster’s Level is 75.
If the player’s Level is 76-80, the monster Level is 75.
If the player’s Level is 81, the monster’s Level is 76.
If the player’s Level is 82, the monster’s Level is 77, etc. (from this point the monsters will always be -5).

Item Affixes
Developer’s Note: Many Affixes are too efficient and are outshining alternatives. We’re looking to refine the outliers, improve the number of meaningful choices on competitive slots, and increase the overall flexibility of items. We know these changes will reduce the total amount of possible power a character can possess, so we'll be monitoring how these changes affect players’ ability to conquer expected milestones throughout the Season.
We’re increasing the availability of the Affixes below to make them easier to include in different builds.
Control Impaired Duration Reduction: Can now appear on Pants.
Barrier Generation: Can now appear for all Classes. It will also begin dropping later in the game.
Lucky Hit Chance while You Have a Barrier: Can now appear for all Classes. Reduced by ~12% when on Helm and ~20% when on Amulet or Offhand.
Mastery Skill Damage: Newly added; can appear on Sorcerer Weapons. Scales identically to Core Skill Damage.
Resistance to All Elements: Can now appear on Shields.
Developer’s Note: The Core Stat bonus on Weapons has been overperforming, so we're pulling back on this bonus.
Strength: 50% Stronger when on Weapons -> 25% Stronger when on Weapons.
Dexterity: 50% Stronger when on Weapons -> 25% Stronger when on Weapons.
Intelligence: 50% Stronger when on Weapons -> 25% Stronger when on Weapons.
Willpower: 50% Stronger when on Weapons -> 25% Stronger when on Weapons.
Developer’s Note: Cooldown Reduction affixes often felt mandatory due to their raw power. We imagine Cooldown Reduction will remain a highly desirable stat, but the penalty for not prioritizing it won’t be as harsh.
Cooldown Reduction: Reduced by ~30%.
Imbuement Skill Cooldown Reduction: Reduced by ~30%.
Trap Skill Cooldown Reduction: Reduced by ~30%.
Developer’s Note: We're seeing Critical Strike Damage and Vulnerable Damage often viewed as a hard requirement for a build's success in Diablo IV. We believe this is a step towards allowing more builds to flourish and will continue to make changes in support of this goal.
Critical Strike Damage: Reduced by ~17%.
Lightning Critical Strike Damage: Reduced by ~17%.
Critical Strike Damage with Bone, Earth, Imbued, and Werewolf Skills: Reduced by ~17%.
Vulnerable Damage: Reduced by ~40%.
Developer’s Note: Disparities in inherent affixes can rule some Weapons out before the rest of their stats are even rolled. These are receiving harsher reductions than their normal affix counterparts to increase Weapon flexibility.
Cooldown Reduction (Inherent on Offhands): Reduced by ~35%.
Critical Strike Damage (Inherent on Swords): Reduced by ~50%.
Vulnerable Damage (Inherent on Crossbows): Reduced by ~65%.
Developer’s Note: Damage Bonus to Crowd Controlled Enemies was overperforming relative to the ease of activating it versus stricter, Crowd Control type-specific affixes.
Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies: Decreased by ~30%.
Damage to Frozen Enemies: Increased by ~20%.
Developer’s Note: We have seen that skillful players are frequently slaughtering monsters many levels above their own. We want to support this, but the current situation is beyond what we believe is correct for the long-term health of the game. To chase this goal, we're shifting power to many offensive Affixes from defensive Affixes. We know this will make our end game content more deadly, particularly for those chasing our pinnacle boss, an encounter not meant for the faint of heart. Overcoming the pinnacle boss will take every ounce of grit you can muster and all tools at your disposal. We will continue to evaluate feedback from the community and make changes to our combat mechanics.

None of this sounds like a massive nerf to Bone Spear, does it?
Necromancer
Fixed an issue where Necromancers could not obtain daggers from the Purveyor of Curiosities.
Fixed an issue where the Necromancer’s Minions would have their life bonuses deactivated while in town.
Fixed an issue where Bone Spear cast through Chilling Wind from an Elite enemy would increase the number of generated Echoes for that cast.
Fixed an issue where Enhanced Bone Spear could cause erratic movement.
Fixed an issue where cancelling Blood Mist when it's already off Cooldown would immediately recast it.

Looks like Hota Barb and Shred Druid partly nerfed. Everything else relatively intact?
Bone Spear Necro nerfed, Minion necro buffed (i.e. more HP / more damage, no AI changes, but some very good and needed QOL improvements). Any other Necro build has been slightly nerfed by nerfing supporting skills (like corpse tendrils' critical hit chance), sorry to Blood Lance / Blood Wave / Shadow / Bone Spirit. I'm really surprised we didn't see a few solid "number go up" in the blood trees considering how badly they scale, mathematically.
Splintering Aspect Bone Shard damage bonus reduced from 50-100% to 30-60%.
I don't know enough about the build to know how bad this is but seems like cutting damage in half is going to hurt. Most of the changes were along the minion line QOL which I agree with. I'd love to see Blood or Bone Spirit be viable, but I can wait until season 5 for that.
Thursday Next fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jul 18, 2023
