coelomate posted:A lot of these changes will make levels 1-50 and maaaaybe 50-70 a bit easier. The better possible rolls for non-crit and non-vuln are more impactful when you don't have an optimized paragon board etc. MATHING you towards crit and vuln. how do they expect people to clear a nm100 unless they're running one of two or three clearly broken builds

Orange Crush Rush posted:What are the odds Blizzard totally forgot that Barb got most (like, almost all actually) of its offensive stats from weapons and now Barb is completely gimped for foreseeable future because of this? Speaking of which, are they ever going to touch the paragon boards in a patch like this, or is it just way too many knobs and dials to actually adjust?

They don't want a POE situation where in 3 years the base game is a confusing mishmash of 40 different systems. Yeah I don’t expect to be able to keep leveling my season 1 heart but are they actually gonna unsocket it and delete it when my character gets booted to base?

acumen posted:was gonna play barb or rogue for s1, anyone who has played either can advise which one got shitstomped harder from the patch? Rogue probably, due to the nerf to healing? It was already pretty squishy. The skill tree also relies a lot on crit and vuln, and the nerf to xbows +vuln damage was significant. And the nerf to cooldown reduction probably also makes keeping imbuements going a lot more difficult.

Malignant sockets turn into regular sockets I believe. I actually haven't read anything about the season so I don't know how the hearts work, but I remember the question being asked earlier in the thread.

My hopes for the patch notes: - Changing non-druid uniques to be worthwhile - Making Barb not so reliant on 3 boring-rear end shouts to be good - Significant rework of Sorc because almost all of its skills are poo poo and you just run a full bar of the same defensives The actual patch notes: - The Butcher's Cleaver now slows slightly more on a bad roll - Large nerfs to non-shout sources of damage reduction - +5% damage reduction on Incinerate. Ice Blades casts slightly faster - Added All Resists as a stat to shields. Resists will not be fixed until season 2

So does Druid seem like it'll be hot for the new season? I was torn between that and Sorcerer but it sounds like Sorcerer might still be kinda sucky.

Blood Lance might be back for S1. Aspect of Hungry Blood got a buff not mentioned in the notes. From: When Blood Lance hits an enemy that is already lanced, it has a [10-20]% chance to fire a Blood Lance at a Nearby enemy To: When Blood Lance hits an enemy that is already lanced, it fires a Blood Lance at a Nearby enemy That combined with overpower indirectly benefitting from nerfs to crit and vuln could make it pretty decent maybe? I wonder if there are other aspects that got changed and were missing from the notes

Resistances being broken strikes me as a pretty high priority bug fix. Designing new malignants and adjusting existing balance around a useless stat is pretty goofy.pork never goes bad posted:Gamer babyrage used to really get my goat but I gotta say there's something really empowering about realizing that my fun in this sorta game is absolutely independent of yours and so I'm just really excited for season 1!

pretty sure I read I just need to login with any eternal character with most progress before creating a season character and it'll transfer, right (map, lilith statues, etc)? context: won't be able to login/play until Saturday, so after season start.

rawk cawk posted:pretty sure I read I just need to login with any eternal character with most progress before creating a season character and it'll transfer, right? Yeah, just do it before you make any new characters. Also if your progress is scattered across a bunch of characters rather than one guy with 100% then log into them all

I imagine the nerdrage will be tempered a bit by how the malignant doodads affect things but still feels bad in any game to see a set of nerfs across the board.

Enigma posted:What is bugged about resistances? "Effectively, this means equipping an item that has a 52.2% Cold Resistance bonus only applies a 2.2% damage reduction from cold damage. " Kripp Vid about it Basically even in the most optimistic take possible that Resists are working as intended they're absurdly weak compared to every other defensive option because they stack funny. That's why a lot of Malginant chat for S1 is "how replace 750 armor" for jewelry gem slots.
