Oh it would not be my first time banned for a week but thanks for the heads up.
Iām just so disapointed. I had big plans for a Phalanx build whit Akkhan set, Helltooth, Marrauder, Typhoon. I know it still has a buff, but now itās just mehā¦
Does Soul Shard selection actually require thought after seeing these notes?
It wasnāt a targeted nerf toward any particular gem. Itās a blanket damage nerf.
It was likely seen as the easiest way to drop the overall power level of the entire season. However, since the top builds were head banging into the GR ceiling, it will have a much higher relative effect on non meta builds.
exactly, now the difference of top builds like inna/bombardment (still doing 150s) and just āokā builds (previous 144-149 ) is even bigger than beforeā¦as are ALL BUILDS IN THE GAME EXECPT THE 150s FARMING META. WTF
hell yeah! 20 chars.
Just one. Dregs of lies. But now I feel iāve been spit between the eyes. Well, I have to make do whit this version.
The real question is: Will Depth Diggers buff invokers? lol
I like that blizzard was trying to give WD Arachyr set a boost after some of the comments that it was rated #7 this s25.
-
Spirit of Arachyr (6-piece bonus): The damage of creature skills is increased by
17500%25000%. Creature skills are Corpse Spiders, Plague of Toads, Firebats, Locust Swarm, Hex, and Piranhas.
i think i would rather have seen the gem left āas-isā and dropped innas back a bit - just drop the amount of mystic allies that spawn or something? its a shame that all the other classesā pets suffer because innas is so strong
So Firebird Wizard is trash now. Just play Inna Monk pet build and mash buttons for 150 speed runs. Super, just super.
i guess weāll have to wait and see
could have just nerfed the fire ally rune, no need to nerf every pet build there is with the Dreg nerf
The change wasnāt meant to nerf Inna. It was specifically to drop damage across the board. Tier list really needs to be updated.
S tier: Inna
A tier: no one
B tier: every other top build in the game thatās listed as S tier currently.
No. Depth Diggers buff direct damage from primary skills, not thorns damage applied by primary skills. Same idea with Firebirdās, Depth Diggers/Fragment of Destiny buff direct damage from Flame Blades, not FB6 proc damage applied by Flame Blades.
Itās a log(251/176)/log(1.17) = +2.26 GR increase in damage.
while I have no doubt youāre right, I still have no idea where the 251/176 came from. I could see 250/175, but 251/176? I never used Log for anything but calculating pH.
25000% + 100% (Your base damage),
Reduced to 251 units to be compared to 1.17 (117%, Monster HP increase)
same thing goes for 175+1 (17500%+100%)
iāve never used log for this neither

Log for anything but calculating pH.
Itās for a change of exponential base.
We have a damage increase, new damage y vs. old damage x. We want to know the expected GR increase. Letās call that z.
So to find the expected GR increase, we need the following equation for z, plugging in the y and x for the damage increase:
y/x = 1.17^z
Take the log of both sides:
log(y/x) = z log (1.17)
z = log (y/x) / log(1.17)
Where is the soul shard that did the explosion feature in PTR?
Did this shard affect get removed/replaced with a different feature?
Where is the soul shard that did the explosion feature in PTR?
Itās still there. Itās the third one under āadditional powersā for Essence of Anguish.
