Yikes. I missed that in my first read through.
This is my life.
The dev team must have learning difficulties.
Guys I think I discovered the solution. Iām going to reroll every time I get a character to 50. Got no time for one shots and minions still sucking.
Hell, maybe Iāll do 60. Weāll see. Whenever I hit the stumbling block Iām gonna reroll though. Iām dead serious, I donāt need the later parts of the game right now.
I mean itās all just a loop anyway, right?

True, but Barb and Sorc are essentially useless outside of their cooldowns. Like they literally canāt even engage a pack in higher tier content until their shouts / defensives are up. Now theyāre just going to be standing around even longer than before.

There is a bigger issue. We need to find ShakoGate 3.0. A substantial patch with many loot bugs?

Yeah, just uninstalled the game. The general nerfs do more to destroy every possible build than to open up more build diversity.
- Reducing affixes that are limited to only a few item slots like CDR make the gameplay even slower as you will be waiting on cooldowns even longer now. It does nothing to reduce the requirement of these affixes.
- They increased the likelihood of completely useless affixes to show up on gear. Making loot drops even less likely to be something worthwhile.
- They basically removed sustain from rogue and druids while also reducing availability of DR through armor and DR affixes on gear. Iām not sure how melee classes are even supposed to survive at this point
- The reduction of crit and vulnerable damage will reduce every builds overall damage by roughly half. Good luck clearing high level NMs now
I really canāt believe this is what we get going into season 1.

I was semi-looking forward to S1 (the season mechanic isnāt particularly thrilling, was just gonna go for cosmetics and then back to eternal) but honestly they nerfed my desire to play. I play Sorc and along with large damage nerfs now any survivability I could muster is also nerfed. That, along with the huge CDR nerf has really just twisted the dagger through the heart of fun.
Iām on the fence about even playing S1 now. Should I use my accelerated battle pass now just to use it and get it over with in case the game never gets better, or save it in the hope there is a possibility of a better time for the game in the future? :\

You mean firing up a hardcore sorc and playing for 60 hours only to get one shot by a an evil tree you didnt notice isnāt enticing to you?

Thereās some nerfs, but thereās a tons of buffs as well.
Itās quite balanced I think.
The most interesting part is the monster leveling, there will be -5 ranks below after a while, so anyway, you will be more powerful, even with some nerfs.

A significant set of players like their eternal characters and playing on the eternal realm.

Jesus christ what a patch lmaooo
What do you play?
Iām not seeing much in the way of buffs for anything that I was playing. Kind of looks like Iāll need to adjust half my current build and Iām still going to end up worse in the end.
At least Iāll be rolling a new character to start over again I guess. Big fat nerf patch with very few bright spots feels like a pretty bad way to start a season.

The whole reason that I was able to defeat Elias and get to T4 was that I changed my build to support vulnerable. So that has been nerfed but the other builds havenāt been buffed.

Alas, a month and a half is far too short a time to game among such excellent and admirable gamers. I donāt know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.I regret to announce ā this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell.

I wonder if this will apply to strongholds as well. I donāt like that they are always 2 levels above you.
you are from another planet
i have no earthly idea how you can come to that conclusion

Season theme will compensate for the nerfs but RIP nonseason.
