Shards of Domination Tuning Incoming

Community General Discussion
1

We’re currently working on a change that will make upgrading your Shards of Domination more rewarding in Sanctum of Domination. Specifically, we’re making it so that the bonuses this system grants you while in Sanctum of Domination, Torghast, Korthia, or the Maw grow in power over time.

With this change, the Blood Link, Winds of Winter, and Chaos Bane rune words will grow based on the strength of the Shards that are granting them to you. For example, if you upgrade your three Blood shards (Shard of Bek, Shard of Jas, and Shard of Rev) from their base form to Ominous Shards, the power of your Blood Link bonus will increase.

While these bonuses are not yet in play, we wanted to give you an early notice about this change to help ensure that as you spend Stygian Embers on Shard upgrades, you have as much information on hand as possible.

Shouldn’t this have been done before releasing it ? :thinking:

You expected them to plan ahead and “test” systems ahead of time?

They shoot from the hip on nearly everything.

"Good enough" - Blizzard Motto.

:man_shrugging:

7 bosses down 1 shard that isnt even useful apparently from the first information that is out there for my spec… I guess we’re back to feel bad next week because of RNG and outside of player output/control.

Also… I still barely understand the system in general but okey.

I would harken their motto nowadays is:

Blizztavision: Eh, close enough.

Narrator: It was, in fact, nowhere near close enough.

This is why Blizzard is reluctant to give us nice things.

They’ve anticipated people yelling about something, and said “Here, we’re fixing this before you have a chance to complain about it. Because it’s something you haven’t encountered yet.”

Would you rather they’d have waited to announce this?

These developers are a joke, as are the clowns who wrote the nonsense Sylvanus cinematic.

This game is an absolute clown fiesta.
