Overhauled the system used for text rendering. The new one is approximately five times faster and supports characters from some difficult-to-render languages.

Honestly at this point GGG's decision making makes no sense to me anymore. FB was obviously OP for a long time, I have no idea why they havent nerfed it sooner, or why they havent buffed 2h weapons sooner, or why Tornado Shot is still not nerfed.

or discharge
or molten strike

[strikeout]or corrupted blood[/strikeout]
or bleeding speed while using movespeed flask. That 1 second 10,000 DPS... oopps... RIP. I can't react that fast. Maybe the speed shouldn't be proportional to speed, just whether you are moving. Or just more damage while not moving, and less while moving, as you pondered already GGG.

Did enemy elemental damage, or fire damage, or burning get a boost with this patch? I seem to be getting hit harder than I was yesterday by elemental damage.

So, I hope tornado shot will be nerfed in next patch and if you remove move speed dependence on puncture that'd be just great.

But as much as I'm happy to see FB balance, it doesn't make sense to say it's balanced in the start of the league and then nerf it in the middle of the league.

Interesting distribution of complaints versus constructive feedback here. I wish people would think a bit further before posting just "Nerf, qq, brainless decision making".

1. No builds are broken. With 20% less damage you will still one shot 90% of mobs. So what?

2. A mid-league change can be good in cases like that. Especially because people acquired got gear they won't suffer so much from the damage decrease. And it gives GGG time to monitor the impact. Imagine the huge qq if they announced the Nerf with 1.4.0

3. Why do most people think skill changes affect players only. Of course more people play flicker over shields charge, but didn't you think of reducing desync on shield charge also helps with monster desync?

What I hoped to see more instead of just complaints would be questions like "Why didn't you reduce the effectiveness of elemental proliferation by 20%?"

Well flameblast nerf will definitly balance the early a bit more, but as soon as you get the proliferation going its all the same again.

Enjoy some oneshots:

OOoow
Could have sworn the flask didnt prevent me from corrupting blood few times. So it was bugged after all.

Honestly, I thought you guys always had this policy of "let's not make major changes in the middle of a league and wait for ladder resets". Guess that whole philosophy went down the drain huh?

I mean, I don't even play the game right now but I think it's dumb to be making changes like this at this time.

Give anyone a sole solid reason then that makes this complaint not a whine? None? Well guess what then.

What's with all that anyway? It's not like there isn't any constructive criticism you could give.



+1 for the staunching flask fix. Dom+ ain't gonna be running anymore now
