1.3.0 Patch Notes

Facebreaker for the win! Woop :D

GGG....honestly....go to hell. These are the worse changes i have ever seen you guys do to the passive tree , and the worst unique nerf i have ever seen.

The nerf to items was ENTIRELY unnecessary. It was already going to be hard enough to get max block or even decent block but you then decide to massively destroy uniques as well and even base shields to make it worse?

The people with the best items will be upset for a while but then figure it out with their items. The rest have had builds destroyed and survivability nerfed. Those reactive skills won't be any help either thanks to it.

I am probably going to quit now. I just don't see the reason to play. Just the level of how bad you are at balancing is astounding.

"Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder have been changed from Spell to Cast active skill types to indicate that they deal secondary damage and not spell damage."

Whats new in this line?
They were already cast weren't they?

Crit nerfed, aa, block nerfed. Cheap 2h ground slam mara with 7 charges will be same good as crit fp ^^

Finally we can roll something else than path of 75% block and spell block.

The "Hardcore" part of hardcore gaming is back, may the RIP be with you brothers!

While your logic isnt incorrect, when the bottom line build isn't strong enough to compete with the content, nerfing everything towards that level isn't going to make for a healthier game. It just means more builds are unviable.

Balance is just that. A balance. If you shift everything to one side, it upsets the balance in one way or another. And this patchnote is one consistant, if not necessarily massive, shove in one particular direction. If that's what they wanted, success. But I dont agree with it yet, and we'll need to see how it plays out.

I can't disagree with you here. It really comes down to a matter of taste. What does viable mean to you, etc.
Since I can't play as much as younger players, there's content I can't (or don't bother to) reach.
That's fine with me.
I must admit that this balance change doesn't hit me as hard because of this. I rarely push past level 73 maps as it becomes too time consuming compared to the reward I feel.
Sure maybe I could play more of the content if the game was easier overall. But it's fine as it is.

In fact it is my favourite arpg since D2.

And just maybe GGG's balancing philosophy has something to do with it although it is somewhat punishing to me - so I'll trust them on this.

Why, I don't see any nerf to alt+F4?

yeah my build got actually buffed a bit (well except AA)

but please guys, stop bitching about the nerfs. Block was OP and the witch start was so much better than the templar.
This game isn't about just running to maps and farm all day. But it became that because we found ways to make it easy.
Now they removed some stuff to make the game challenging again and you bitch about it.
Isn't it exciting to go and find new stuff to break the game with???
We will find new OP builds and mechanics. And they will nerf them. Thats how it is and should be.

You shouldn't be reading this right now. You should be looking at the new tree with a calculator in your hand^^

And maybe some snacks^^

Can we all please learn from this guy

Beter learn not to force your way of playing game on others even if they are minority(seems they are not).
