Patch 1.4.3 first impressions

10+ pit level depth gain, no sweat. “Increased health”? Yeah, right.

Short and sweet.  

They actually reduced the health and made the pit easier

As a FO sorc, the power increase or/and pit decrease seem to be significant. Before the patch I was farming lvl 79 pit in 3-4 minutes (pushed 104). Now, I’m able to clear lvl 99 really quickly - surprisingly I am also melting bosses in really fast pace, they are dead during 1st stagger. Will be definitively able to push the pit much higher.

I’m not into pushing, but speedrunning higher levels is nice

Yah my FO sorc just casually did a 4 min pit 101 run after patch.

Awesome!

So instead of raising the Sorc game, they just brought the bar down and handed it to everyone.

Well. Whatever works, at least I can farm mats with my sorc now, I assume this means Barb’s can now run T200?

FO here - Pit 100 feels like lvl 70. It’s like walk in the park now. I also tested uber Lord Zir - he died at the beginning of second stagger. So half the time needed. He dropped me Andy Visage so I was happy for a moment but then noticed 3x GA wand - an upgrade for me. Suddenly I felt terrified to the point that my hands were shaking. Went to blacksmith to temper. Ofc I bricked it! Got ice spike dmg multiple times in a row. Immediately ALT+F4. Jeeeez I never want to feel like that again!

Yea just did pit 101 with my whirlwind barb for reference and it was ezpz. Which is actually kind of nice. I hated doing higher tier upgrades cause of how slooooooooow farming with whirlwind was.

This is great because I use the pit tier I can clear to evaluate myself esteem.

Just did a 121 in 7.5 min with my Heartseeker rogue. Boss health still ramps up rather quickly after maybe pit 115.

Now that Neathiron drop no longer scales linearly with pit level after 101, there is really no need to constantly do pit105+ and the material farming efficiency gap between classes/builds has been significantly reduced.

In pit 100 I got 59 stones, 105 - 63, in 110 - 65. Is it something new or it was before patch? I thought pit 110 should give 69 stones.

Easy… too easy. Then again, i am “only” speed farming with my heartseeker with no GOD LIKE gear in pit 115.

game is much better now. we can go pit 10 stages higher. good patch

I believe that it has always been that way. Scaling at a lower rate the higher you go.

Considering shatter sorcs are clearing the highest Pit, don’t u mean Sorcs are now clearing T200? Highest known barb Pit clears are still in the 140’s…

So not adding any content but changing some numbers so you can run a few pit higher and you guys are like

“wooha amazing patch good job blizz”…

No wonder D4 is the bland and boring mess it is if you guys are happy about cheesing the game some more…
