Hi Daniel, and thanks for replying. Firstly, both increased physical damage and increased damage over time do not affect the tooltip damage of Puncture's bleed at all. There have been some attempts by players trying to test this out, but because the initial hit is already on a range, the common consensus was that while Increased DOT does affect the bleed, increased physical doesn't. While you have clarified that it does, is it not a very very simple thing to let the tooltip be updated? After all, unlike Ignite, all the tooltip has to show is the percentage of the inital damage hit.

I misspoke on the armour part, I meant to say endurange charges.

Lastly, while the patch notes did mention that some dot skills were rebalanced, the majority of the patch notes concentrated on viper strike, poison arrow and ignite. Since there is a small finite number of skills that were affected, I think it was a little indigenous to not list out the skills that were indeed affected. I also had anecdotal experience after that patch (since I only started my puncture build after my Burning Arrow ranger was nerfed by the ignite changes) where the values on the Puncture gem in-game were the same as the old values on the wiki, and only noticed a difference in the tooltip numbers about 2-3 weeks ago.

Upon further testing and experimentation, my cyclone CoC is fine. Only needed to reroll socket colours and switch one gem.

My "Power Pulser" on the other hand (power siphon-GMP-CoC-FP-FP-FP), is RIP build. Will need a serious overhaul. How about some complementary regrets and gem levels GGG? ;)

change 1 FP for arctic breath, and another one for something else ;)

Cast on Critical Strike

What people done understand is that it’s not as simple as slotting in gems and off you go. For the build to be viable you need many trade-offs such as investment into massive crit nodes, Increase attack speed etc .. you are essentially giving up defence to be somewhat of a glass cannon.

Lol @ CoC glass cannon.
FYI, you can build a reasonably tanky CoC build, I know I do (14k armour/55k with flasks, 73% block chance, etc).

CoC change is not a "nerf", it's a "balance", and even a "buff" for some.

If people are lagging because multiple versions of same spell are going off, then they can leave the group or upgrade their toaster.

it wasn't a balancing change. It was a "my piece of shit computer can't handle the other dude's spell spam" change. It was nothing more than to make CoC users less hated in parties. Imo, if someone's computer can't handle it, they have the option to leave or even ask me to leave. I would have left the group. Now my solo experience has been affected by his shitty computer. How is that fair to me?
