" eze answer: balance and meta shifting |

" Oh yeah, nerfing almost all defense, gutting jugg, champ, and zerker all at once, and almost every good aura is "the right direction".. The only good change in this patch seem to be the auction house, rework of Gladiator ( which seem viable / good for DW), melee skill damage buff, endurance charge ele reduction. Everything else is either a QOL nerf, defense nerf, or ascend nerf. Last edited by Thatsnasty#5967 on Jul 19, 2024, 11:38:07 AM

Sentinel is implemented EXACTLY as I wanted it to be :)
As objects randomly encountered in the map - without that micromanagement from Sentinel league (picking them up, recombinating spent ones, respecing the power matrix) I expected them to repalce Torment mechanic. Torment is very outdated and Sentinel does the same thing (buff monsters and their rewards) |

" Meta shifting, sure, but balance? I think you need to look at the numbers, and how historically awful GGG is at balancing really anything. 13% of players playing deadeye? Gets a buff. 1% of players playing zerker? Destroy rage. 4-5% playing Jugg and champion? Destroy champions defenses and stun immunity + determination nerf on top of that, take away unbreakable ele reduction. I was happy playing Jugg and being ignored for years, and at least undeniable and unbreakable were solid enough to work on most builds. But these ascendency changes are awful, and to mask it under a melee buff to damage, who cares about damage when you're just way squishy for no real reason. |

Glad the slow hit fast hit animation form some attacks was removed.

" balance and meta shifting This is a very strange comment for me. And what about people who LITERALLY like to play those builds that the old HATRED supported? And they don'T want to play convert builds? In fact, it is not a BALANCE, but an IMPOSITION |

I am not sure if we miss something at the moment, but it looks like a nerf fest only and some pseudo buffs of skills to kind a compensate the nerfs. What I see (but I am not the expert), most builds are going to be very squishy and for melee characters that's not a good thing I guess. Possible stuff like insta leech will help, but will see. Last league mechanics were kind a annoying and lots of people left very fast, so hopefully we don't get a repeat.
I still enjoyed the last league because the base game is great, so I hope it didn't mess it up too much :) |

Is the change to Taste of Hate gonna affect existing items in standard?
I'd say no, but the wording is very inconsistent within the same patch note (changes to Perfidy body armour says that will affect existing items, those to Innsbury weapon says it won't affect existing items, Taste of hate says...well nothing lol) Last edited by Asra101010#9694 on Jul 19, 2024, 1:27:37 PM
