Yeah and it’s one of the crappiest patches in gaming history. It’s like they’re competing with Wolcen to see who’s got the most faded dev team.

So a new dogbat pet. And new items. No thanks.
How about more stash space to put all this new stuff.

Hydra builds gutted to the ground and TV set propably still riddled with bugs. H90 still underpowered and glassy.

Not good.

Pets don’t take up any stash space, and every single new item is instasalvage.

You don’t need more space after all :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I mean, we all knew it would be the 13th of March with a slight chance of the 6th

Yeah the poor PoE fans were still hoping for the 6th…

Looks like channel builds are taking a major hit too. That 1 second before Deathwish and Etched Sigil kicks in is a nasty neuter to my LoD channel build I liked to use over the sets for the Wizard. That really sucks, I don’t much like how the majority of sets function.

This is one of the best patches ever!!

Season 20: SEASON OF THE FILTHY CASUAL!!!

Sever lag will be non existent due to low population.

I will have the leaderboards to myself in all the classes… rank 1 here I come!

LoD Hydra will still be on par with other classes clearing over 140 GRift in non-season. The nerf is just reigning them in from being OP.

Blizzard now needs to renerf ww/rend Barb and remove the multiplier from Lamentation again as they are still OP with a 146 clear in non-season

Hah hah you may be right. I was considering seasons and try the lod hydra but its nerfed again. And dont know what the changes did to new wd set ,but the theme doesnt help wd set anyways. Did a little math and looks like wd lost 9k damage

LoD is the build I run as well. I don’t like any of the sets and how they work, so LoD was perfect for me, and is how I got back into playing. NOPE can’t have too much fun now, so Nerf to You. /facepalm

This patch was prepared like for necro only with season buff in mind it is mostly benefiting necro other biulds are rather fixed on things they use in cube

Live 2.6.8 patch notes don’t mention fixing this…

As for the H90 set? Meh. The addition of stuns proc’ing the 2-piece is better than how it was on the PTR but there’s been absolutely no addressing how squishy the build is, e.g. by improving the 4-piece.

It’s looking very much like a Guardian and done Season 20 for me.

Are you bored of spin to win already? WW/rend is still very good.

I am a Diablo fan first, then a PoE one. Yes, I hoped for a 6 march release so I could play 1 week until PoE new season starts.

Oh well, is PoE for then, because at least, somehow, PoE manages to keep me at least 3 weeks interested when a new League releases. Last time D3 got me hooked for more then 3 weeks, was in …season 5 I think?

I played the hell out of WW/Rend this season, got almost 2500 paragon (I usually only do 1000-1100 or so) and absolutely loved the Pandemonium theme. However, I usually enjoy changing things up and don’t play the same class / build two seasons back-to-back so was looking forward to the new Frenzy set. It’s very underwhelming. The free set is IK, so I’ll probably just stick with that, complete Guardian and then go back to non-season or play something else for a few months. The H90 set, as-is, is a massively wasted opportunity.

Yep, same here… we will have to see how it performs but I am not very optimistic either…
