I’d say it’s a quick update, but it’s pretty long. Please go check it out.
Thanks so much Nev, having Lamentation dmg buff back would be awesome for ww lovers
How do you even know that ? From the Blizzcon demo ? That’s the only place where I can even fathom s19 being implemented.
Thanks for taking our feedback seriously.
well done. hyped for S19 now.
Thanks for the update Nev!
When do you suspect this patch to drop? any estimated times?
Before Season 19 begins. Since we’re racing to get release clients built, tested, and submitted to third party partners, I can’t be more specific than that.
Thank you Brandy for listening to us.
On a side note - I miss your cute Death Maiden avatar…
Yeah! Where did your Death Maiden avatar go?

I don’t know about those barb’s nerfs , and now reconsidered, and a huge hit to crus with the shield nerf. You realize that at some point in time with new legends / sets / season buff / a future patch etc etc… someone will be able to solo 150 so why not now? what will happen if in a next future patch another class will do a 150? nerf it again? I don’t now but crus shield cap to 20 stacks is too much.
Because that build is the best solo/2man/3man/4man build in the game. It replaces all RGKs and manual starpact by a large margin. It will be capable of sub 12 minutes 150s once players get good ancients and find what really makes the build great. You need to realize that 2 days of testing and they cleared 150 without full ancients and augments.
The new forums don’t support GIF avatars for employees currently; I have the same access as you guys do to avatars, so I’ve stuck with default for the time being.
It would be a nice QoL for me, sure, but not the highest priority for the web team to address. We’re currently targeting fixing Armory profiles first and foremost.
#1 Make Nevalistis’ profile look super legit
#2 Give important information to thousands of users to see
How dare they not pick #1 as priority I say!
I’d like to say another thing in this topic. In this 2.6.7 patch I feel there are some severe communication issues.
These are all my guess so if I’m wrong just ignore them.
From PTR to 2.6.7 AoV changed a lot and I feel like the community suggestions that people want Heaven’s Fury to also work in this set are heard. But I think we still like to have a set to work for both Fist of the Heaven and Heaven’s Fury, in a way that either can be used as main DPS skill, and not in a way that having to use both but only one may be used to deal damage.
The same thing happened to monk set and we eventually got a set using Tempest Rush as main DPS skill, while we already had SWK set that can do it.
It’s actually good if devs have their own opinion but I feel they were hearing people’s suggestion but didn’t get the point.
Another exploit use with bazooka build ( yes again that why this build should be delete ).
https://www.bilibili.com/video/av57542888 ( start watching at 11:13 till 11:30 then see the result at 13:20 ).
For explain what we see on the video ,
1/ They create a BIG stack of monster for the wizard wave stack ( in cow level or another level doesn’t matter ).
2/ They start the GR when the boss spawn wizard back in town
3/ Wizard kill every monster for get 110 stack ( this is the cap ) with the wave
4/ Return in GR continue stacking stricken
5/ SnapShot the boss with his 110 stack he obtain out of the GR ( the boss get OS with one meteor )
This issue must be fix before the season or wizard would be use as trashkiller AND boss killer …
ok, that’s just insane. Not sure how they fix that, but it needs to be done.
Looks like another Wizard exploit (described two posts above this one) with video.
Afraid to say it but I don’t think 2.6.7a is ready for release. That looks like a gamebreaking issue.
Bazooka needs a straight up hotfix destroying its viability until you guys can sort out that issue.
Hello Nevalistis, I hate to distract the conversation but as the previous posts have pointed out, there is indeed a gamebreaking exploit for bazooka wiz right now.
Bazooka wiz can solo GR 145+ (potentially 150) by exploiting the wave of force stacks outside of GR. it has already solo’d 148 in china by exploiting this mechanism.
to reiterate, when the rift guardian spawns, the wiz goes out into some parts of the world, where over 100 mobs have been pre-pulled near a waypoint, and use wave of force to get 100+ stacks. the wiz then returns to the GR and continues to stack stricken. this way, with power pylon, bazooka wizard is able to one-shot RG on 150 with one arcane meteor.
a fix can be very simple: wave of force stacks must be reset upon leaving and entering a greater rift.
Agree with the urgent hotfix with bazooka, Nev. Simply remove the spec meanwhile while pending for the dev to correct. Even if it’s one week into s19, might be doable as i doubt no one would be able to exploit this spec one week into a new season?
