Your Patch Expectations

Give it some 3-5 hours and then we might get something.

I never seen a patch before 11pm CET. :laughing:

at the very least the storm armor bug should be patched. hard to believe they let it go this long. Oh wait, maybe we have to pay for a new patch. You guys have wallets dont ya?

The powers are tied to certain builds, would be nicer that they are more generic.
Like strafe shooting last hatred spender could be any channeling skill shoots last hatred spender.

Would be awesome to be able to upgrade any legendary to optimal ancient level without the special power with the normal ancient styling (orange) so that we may equip them all. And keep these after season ends. And at most one with the special power.

No nerf to EN.

Having more stash by making some tabs character specific.

4th cube slot permanent.

Buff to passive skills. Some are a bit outdated due to powercreep.

Changes are up, the patch itself will likely come soon.

No mention whether the sanctified items not rolling with ancient level affixes has been fixed.

Just scanning over the powers, looks like all 3 WD powers are now very strong, all 3 barb powers good. DH solid. No real stinkers anymore.

ok. cya.

anyways, i was shocked to see they actually changed strafes baseline weapon requirement. not entirely sure how that helps…yet :wink: other than putting impale-ricochet on my skill bar.

they did nothing for tal rasha. i mean seriously?

the first power with LS and Haunt sounds…a bit crazy. 60 yards in game is a huge amount. but i’m sure i’ll be ok with vacuum WD’s lol.

Hmm, they

took care of wiz storm armor exploit. Good.

put damage on Mirrorball. Good - but needs more (+50% AS or Charged Blast rune)

Rest of the wizard changes are really meh - one thing is very notable, though:
DMO6 now supports Electrocute, Meteor, and Arcane Torrent abilities. Was about time.

Also Magic Missile power got nerfed.

Still Tal Rasha buff where??

They did nothing to address any of the issues with the akkhan set rework and nerfed angels and did nothing to blessed hammer or fist of the heavens… I guess this is the season to skip playing crusader. I am all aboard the Witch Doctor hype train though so it’s not all bad.

I also see no mention of fixing Crucibles to function properly… Which was/is the biggest issue with the entire PTR. I sure hope that was actually fixed and just failed to be mentioned.

no they actually killed it now since the cooldown on akarat was procing more. So now once you’re out of akarat, you’re dead

Looking at the Sader notes, this looks like a hard skip.

What, you don’t want to play DMO6Tal2 Meteors (amulet + belt, don’t even need RoRG) instead of Tal6 Meteors? 12500 > 8000, 75% DR > 200% all res (= ~65% DR)

smacks forehead

Don’t smack too hard… I noted the change to DMO6. But where is love for Tal Rasha… I mean, this is stupid. The Meteor set is outmatched by DMO now… lol.

EDIT:
This reminds me of Typhon’s Fail being dwarfed by LoD for quite some time - yup, this is another DOA. unless they still have something on hold for the final iteration :smiley:

Yeah, the lack of many changes with Wizards is kinda startling.

Magic Missile getting a reduced number is disappointing but not surprising. I think it was widely estimated the number would go down with more damage to compensate. Interesting that they chose to buff Mirror Ball instead of doing it on the crucible power directly.

Crown not seeing any changes is also disappointing. Still don’t think it’s worth a slot. DMO does at least get some new skills.

Tal Rasha also not getting changed really is surprising. Not sure these two Wizard reworks are meeting expectations.

Less excited therefore about some of these permanent changes, but more excited for some of the powers. Again, hopefully they drop because there are a lot of fun builds shaping up for this season.

So if i decide to play wd with that pull power 60 yards add lets say 100 AD should i be running solo ? /s

I expected that one… Mirrorball is an outdated trash item that was overdue for a buff. Still a bit meager, though, but at least we get something.
