I agree with nerfs, but I think they are going crazy with the buffs. We are going to get power creep

I’ll give an example, the massive buff to blood lance is completely unwarranted. I think the skill was good as it was and the only people complaining are people who haven’t actually played it how its meant to be played and haven’t read tooltips.

Instead of buffing blood lance, they should have nerfed bone spear a little bit.

Blood lance is supposed to be a damage and utility spell its damage is never supposed to reach bone spear levels of damage.

Lightning Storm absolutely did not need to be buffed. This is another situation where it’s under-utilized because people haven’t played it or don’t understand how it works, or don’t read the tooltips. They just see channel and disregard the spell.

I understand that the slight buff may propel more people to try out blood lance and lightning storm, but devs should keep an open mind about reverting the buffs.

I agree with all of the nerfs, even ones that hurt my build. Especially Glyph nerfs were 100% spot on. Thanks for paying attention.

Also, thanks for disregarding PoE players who want to run around 1-shotting everything on the map. They can play their boring PoE or Last Epoch with the ARPG trope of spam-one-button-and-one-shot-everything-literally-like-McDonalds-zombies-loot-simulator.

It’s a core skill. If it doesn’t do jack for damage, why would anyone make it the core of their build?

blood necro is the 3rd worst necro after bone and darkness and even then you think this is too much?

It did do jack for damage. But, you didn’t play it.

Blood lance is literally a core skill, which means it’s meant to be your primary damage skill. Who told you it’s a utility skill?
That’s a testament to how bad it actually is. That you don’t even recognize that it SHOULD be in par with bone spear.

Does bone spear have the capacity to spawn blood orbs? Does bone spear cost more essence or less essence?

I don’t think you know what you are talking about. You haven’t even played blood lance since the last round of buffs, have you?
