can't really be upset at the nerf to grizzly rage unstoppable. being unstoppable for 20+ seconds was hilarious but you didn't have to pay attention to anything.

Bone spear is probably still going to be the best build with the nerfs to all defenses. It seems like Long range is going to be more of an advantage than ever.

I think they've learned from Hearthstone that shaking up the meta leads to better player engagement. We shall see how it works out in D4.

This changes nothing about the meta. Not using crit+vuln is reducing your damage by multiples. It's just a flattening of damage spikes making all characters feel more clicky.

I wish we saw the malignant gems. Do they all cycle their effects every x second? With proper graphical indication that could be HiFi Rush league which would be amazing.

Ya this is one of the first things that jumped out to me, it's not in the "completely fucks" range for the build I'm using but being able to have permaslow to turn on all CC effects was pretty clutch

Rogue-related, nice that they bumped the bonus for Preparation, though the nerfs to cooldown reduction probably makes it a wash in terms of my spender-only Rapid Fire build. Time to play a few last dungeons and continue tweaking this imbuement/shadow clone spender only build before the season starts and I never play it again

Diephoon posted:After my first read it seems like they're nerfing affixes a lot for crit damage, vuln damage, and pretty much all defenses. Am I reading it wrong or is literally everyone going to be doing less damage and taking more damage this season? Weird to not show the seasonal items assuming they will be powerful enough to offset these reductions. This is my gut reaction. They may find they tuned way too far. I feel like unless you were using some specific build, most classes didn't feel very powerful at all, which means not fun to play.

the hits to CC bonus damage is bad for my sorc build, not very impressive looking changes to the class as a whole IMO. i dont really think this stuff changes the meta at all which. wonder where they're trying to go with this stuff since this just leaves me with more questions

I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out. I'd love to keep my Druid build, because it's been doing pretty well for me. So if they didn't add enough/reduce the multipliers enough then hopefully I can keep it.

They also didn’t change any stats on uniques did they, which means that the gloves specifically designed for WW Barb mainly have stats that straight up do not work on WW.

They are also changing paragon nodes to give damage bonuses instead to all skills instead of just core skills. quote:Additionally, we're changing Critical Strike Damage Paragon Glyphs to empower all damage—instead of only Core Skills—to enable more build strategies. Those are very significant buffs to any DoT build or build that uses non-core skills. No clue how it all ends up shaking out, though.

Gohr's Devastating Grips now explodes every 2 seconds or after it ends, and its hit cap has been removed. Gohr's was always just an OK item if you were doing hell tides or low NM dungeons, but this change makes it a lot better for whirlwind barbs. Barbs are still gonna be tanky, it just might take a bit longer for every class to kill stuff. I can see whirlwind barb with gohr's being an OK build season 1. I already did barb up to lvl 98 so I might give minion necro or rogue a spin.

The only way these changes make sense are if: --They are balancing solely around people who do content that is too easy for them and want to make it harder (without regard for how ball-smashingly hard these changes have made higher tier content) --They are balancing around the assumption that malignant gems are going to be super powerful

I don't understand them making overworld enemies go to 5 levels below you before you hit the tier cap - overworld content is piss easy as it is now. So doing renown/whispers is going to be even more boring and exp inefficient than it is already. Mr Beens fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Jul 18, 2023 |
