GGG breaking their rules. They said that they won't nerf skills until the new leagues start, in order to not break people's builds. I guess they just lied about it...

[li]Reduced the damage of Flameblast by 20%. While this is a substantial reduction, Flameblast is still the most effective way to apply burst fire damage. This change will require players to put themselves at slightly more risk by casting it for longer. We’ll assess how this change affects use of the skill for levelling and in end-game situations. The skill is still very powerful and this reduction certainly isn’t breaking any builds.[/li]

So when the new leagues came out there was a big clamor for a flameblast nerf and we were given a rather dismissive answer from Chris saying that internal testing showed flastblast was at a good place and didnt need a nerf. I guess my question is, whats changed since then?

Jay Wilson, no, sorry, Chris Wilson, what's changed since league beggining?!?!?


IMO, 20% (T W E N T Y) is not a nerf. Is a major bug fix.

downloading patch only goes as far as 58,16% :( and wait something is happening after exit and restart 75,12% and now its up 0)

Just partied with a guy with Flameblast after the patch and OMG. With the already slow cast time to build up a good Flameblast I already killed everything he was hoping to get...then when he did finally get a shot off...it did less damage! Great idea GGG. Some spells cast 2-7 times a second...Flameblast should keep it's rightful damage do to the buildup time! One time the guy was about to make it to a lvl 10 Flameblast but got stunned! He had to then run real far away from the mob and start over lol. I told myself that is one weak spell with complications and many things you have to work around.

FINALLY! Flameblast is nefred :) What now, flameblast fang**s? EleGiggle 4Head

My guess: He is doing it wrong. :-P
I just watched my girl friend playing a char, that has flameblast for leveling purposes only and is no flameblast build. There are approximately 6 skill points for cast speed and fire and elemental damage and she is making maps that are 2 or more levels above with no problems. Standard mobs still die with stage 2 to 3 flameblast. There are several easy ways to enhance the effectivity.


And for some of the other 'whiners': When I watched my girl friend playing, I noticed that this nerf is a minor one. I think, it is still overpowered, because the highest difficulty shouldn't be so easy. ;-)

Sure :facepalm:

Let's nerf summoners too. Why curses from maps doesn't work on them (line enfeeble or temp chains)? SRS damage crazy, mjölnir - crazy. Lets nerf them too.
