0.10.2 Patch Notes

I am curious what should be done with a character build that relied on Mana Flows for everything. A month of time invested and now the character is unplayable. I understand the concept of beta games and this is not a rant - I am just curious as to the motivation behind the move of Mana Flows?

If the intent is for the skill to be infeasible for certain classes of characters then make class specific passives. I now have to decide if the game is worth the effort and this I also realize is a personal choice. But to pump up what was already a valuable passive and then substantively allocate it to a single class of character without some remuneration for other classes that suffer -- that is not balance.

anyone know what ilvl recipe for chaos is now? i really would like to reroll am item i have found.

Ooh, I like the changes to the Duelist tree area -- He's got more good nodes at his starting location now, like the other classes. The duelist was slower to build before, and sorely lacking in Intelligence.

The Mana Flows and Armor Master moves HAVE affected my Marauder and Ranger characters... but I see this as an opportunity to be creative and reimagine the builds. I was dying a lot in Cruel anyhow, totally not planning for the faster monsters and my lowered resistances.

Only suggestion: Resetting the trees of directly affected characters is a given; for the other classe, might it be cool to give them all some free respec points? Like, my Ranger was totally headed to the Duelist area for some specific nodes, but had not yet quite reached them. I used all remaining respec points to get those nodes back to reallocate elsewhere, and now still have a few nodes I'd never have used, had I not intended to venture to the Duelist area.

What does plus 2 to melee weapon and unarmed do? Is it for gem levels or what?

My duelist didn't even get a respec :\ looking at the new tree I would have had completely different passives..

Ranger respec done according to my previous build...

Gained 145 HP, lost 245 MP and 40% regen mana. Lost 250 DPS.

My Merciless ranger is barely playable and can't beat Vaal for now until i regain my lost DPS and mana regen.

I like the duelist change, also the melee gem buffs, happy with the change.
The guy saying that not only builds having the skillpoints allocated in changed passive skills were affected by the changes is right...

Melee = garbage still sadly :C

OMFG u ruined my build now and I did not get respec, this is so horibble im gonna have too reroll now I do not wanna waste 7 points I will need those endgame and will crucial come on you ruined so many builds atleast full re spec!....bye bye lvl 68 R.I.P 5 days an 8 hours.....:C
