I hope you still like the patch when they shut down the servers because noone is left to support them anymore! ;o)

If every good build was nerfed in this patch, I wouldn't be angry.

But every good build was nerfed EXCEPT FOR THE ABSOLUTE MOST FUCKEXPENSIVE BUILD.

How has crit spectral throw never seen any serious nerf? No ST nerf, no crit nerf. Why does GGG think this is the only fun way to play?

Anyway, RIP my SRS witch, I guess I'll switch to, I dunno, eldritch battery incinerate or something?

Edit: and what pisses me off the most is how easily you can tell this entire patch was balanced around PvP. THIS IS A PVE GAME. They wanted to *absolutely* ensure that more expensive equipment translated to more damage, all in the name of pvp "balance".

CoC gem nerf:

Not really a nerf. With new cooldown and having 91% hit chance and 95% crit chance on barrage and 20/20 CoC gem you reach the ceiling at 4.7 APS. Shatter chuck guide has 3.7 APS now so way less than the ceiling.

Math (please correct if wrong):

hit chance 91%
crit chance 95%
APS 3

so crits per second= 0.91*0.91*0.95*3=18.8
so casts per second from CoC gem at level 20 = 18.8*0.68= 12.8

To reach 0.05s cooldown limit you need to cast 20 times a second and 3APS only gives you 12.8
to get 20 casts a second you need 4.7 APS if all above is correct

No, they won't, because they just use logout macros. Dying isn't real in this game unless you get 1-shot by uber atziri.

allright allright, no more dodge block untouchable builds! i like that! but, wow, now i'll die again!

hardcore was just scrubcore 2.0 before this patch. shit just got real.

As someone who doesn't really use net builds and doesn't really follow the pvp scene, (casual scumbag i guess) this update is rather shitty.

So basically everyone takes way more dmg and got nothing in return?
Seems like great changes.
Soon to be any player that doesnt have 100ex+ on day one will just give up.
