GGG actually play their own game?
+1 second to sunder and rolling slam? Are you serious? self casting sunder you pretty much have to pray you dont get killed before actually getting the attack done. This +1 second attack time is RIDICULOUS.

With Heralds cascading off of each other and people creating 1-button spam builds that exploded entire screens at level 17, I was starting to lose hope that whoever created the original vision for this game still had the balls to continue their vision through to completion.

With these patch notes, I'm very encouraged to see that you're SERIOUS about "creating meaningful combat." I totally get that you're going to let people get to a "broken" level when they're at the top end of end-game....that's only fair, and feels like a proper reward for the long journey of a character. That's fine.

But to have super low-level characters during act 1 to 2 of the campaign already exploding entire mobs in 0.5 seconds? Nah.

This is a REALLY positive direction, and I hope to continue to see balance changes in the future that encourages a PROPER skill/power ramp-up during the campaign portion of the game.
