Lesser soul shards damage increase ninja nerfed

General Discussion
#1

Raxx noticed on his stream today (check the 3h48m mark) that the elemental damage modifiers on the lesser soul shards in the season have been nerfed from 75% to 25%. You can confirm by looking on d3planner.com

No notice from Blizz?!?!
@filthieRich what’s the deal???

#2

Are you sure that it wasn’t a coding error on D3Planner’s end?

But sure, go ahead and come here and throw a fit.

#3

You mean other than the stickied thread with a link to the official patch notes…

Changes from PTR values are highlighted in red…

I think its more about the datamined part where the gems have 20-25% elemental or 10-15% dmg instead of 50-75% or 40-50% dmg how they did on ptr.

Its the elemental dmg% increase, not the one youre pointing to sadly, but ye its nowhere to be found in the notes

Edit : its the nerf to elemental dmg (20%-25%) and weapon dmg (10%-15%) that got stealth nerfed from the original 75% ele max and 50% weapon dmg max

What’s the big deal? Even if its nerfed, its jst 1.3x and 1.4x respectively, averaging 2 tiers between them. You ll gain 5-10 tiers by actual playing more than forums / use the right GR tactics.

I think it’s a big deal. If it’s true of course. It’s all about trust, confidence and (lack of) communication.

Yes. Lying in patch notes and total radio silence on the forum.
I wonder why they even keep these useless “community managers” employed.

I want to say that both the Elemental Damage changes and the All Damage changes from the Random property you got was changed back in the 2nd PTR (same time i believe they fixed the all resist value)

#12

No it is something new. At least the elemental damage.

I know because I tried to boost different Wiz builds than FB with the elemental damage from soul shards. That was after the PTR patch and non of the shards rolled ever less then +50% to element x.

Possibly, I have to still go search for some videos from PTR2 to see if they were changed then as I thought I remember seeing them changed back then and mentioned it before (but I could be wrong :stuck_out_tongue: )
