This is exactly what I'm trying to say :) You don't have 2 free slots for the new gems and that's why I was saying can someone explain it to me because it doesn't make sense to me.

As for the new tree - it hardly offers you more than it used to. You could already get all the damage you need from it, now you can maybe get little more damage, but as a HC player you really cant because you would have to sacrifice defences

No you don't have 2 free slots for the gems, but we are using 2 additive gems now, Pierce and culling strike. Both of these gems "Increase damage by xxx. The new gems give "More damage by xxx%" so they are multipliers not additive.

Nice job on fucking up another gem. Incinerate needed a nerf for sure but clearly someone missed the difference between balance and curb stomp. Additionally, the spell did not need a 15% buff at gem level 1. That's just a slap in the face.

Oh want to buy Taste of Hate nerf? Hah!

Poison (Caustic) Arrow gets a 6L with these new Supports, a MORE Multiplier (TWO Support Gems if you don't mind losing Inc AoE, and if you weren't using that, well the other options were basically just Increased Damage anyway.) And on top of those two Supports, you've got Wither which can also further greatly ramp your Single-Target DPS..

I think Caustic Arrow is in a decent place, especially given how efficient it was before; now it takes some work, but you don't really sacrifice much and it's still viable. No need to go all doomsayer. :)


PS. Does anyone know if this "Hinder" [De]buff is for PvP or if it means we cannot stack slows on Mobs in PvE too?

economy? what economy. I'm not interested in this stone-age trading system and neither are 50% of the playerbase which aren't no-life masochists.

there is no spoon, and no economy in this game either.

Which prefix group does Nihilist's belong to?

i.e. is it mutually exclusive with +# to level of socketed melee/cold/fire/lightning gems? (I expect this to be the case)

or is it mutually exclusive with +# to level of socketed gems? (paragon's)

You mean 5–8 damage at level one wasn't too strong? I am surprised that didn't get nerfed too

Heh, im laughing so hard when i read all this messages from incinerate players like "Oh my god GGG why you ruin the game you kill this spell". It WAS unbalanced, you could just wear sybils paw, get tons of block and STILL do enough damage to kill uber atziri. To be honest, it was 200% more strong than ANY OTHER SPELL, and its dps is nerfed less than in a half. Nerf just brings this spell to normal level. Stop crying.

Goddess unleashed - finally. :D

Hmm, no mention of item balance changes. Are these not in yet or will this be the first content update that doesn't add legacy items?
