seems pretty decent a bit of a balance change on the early free pierce but outside of that and well it could be we get pierce on a few reworked or new uniques that fill that horrid range of 50-65 with like no uniques...

So while keeping things hidden for our suprise but giving us info on it, i think this will be good.

And with 6 mode options on abyss jewels, could get super lucky with 2-3 jewels able to clear out all mitigation needed on ailments, which frees us from not nearly always having to be forced to run fing purity of elements to survive the AN torment of mods.

can you roll two ailment mods though?

It looks better now than the original post, but still bad.

We are forced to craft with a heavy RNG oriented system. For RPG games, I always prefer picking up something dropped from mobs than spending time crafting items.

And why do we still have scrolls in the game? Please remove them.

"Conqueror's Efficiency: its mana reservation stat has been moved to the regular Jewel mod pool."

Nice!!

The only good thing here is moving the Reservation Efficiency to the regular mod pool.
Replica Conqueror's doesn't deserve to be taken out of the game, since it's not replacable, which kinda goes against the supposed goal of providing alternatives, doesn't it?
Also, don't think we missed that the mods can roll up to 35% and 50%. Which means that unless you get extremely lucky, youll need to recraft, or use 4 normal or 3 abyss jewels with those respectively, instead of just 3 or 2.
Which is stupid. Just as the decision to swap Divines and Exalts, since we can't even divine the jewels as it would be a monumental waste of currency.
Oh and let's not even mention femoving the Surival jewel, which is mandatory for Wardloop, build-enabling. Going against your own words, again. At least you're not removing a build-enabling jewel from a more accessible build, but bricking a powerful if expensive and hard-to-gear build because of rash and half-assed changes is not cool.

Great clarifying info on this post. Thanks! Sounds like some interesting changes. Looking forward to the larger list of new jewels

"wE aRe oNlY rEmOvInG uSeLeSs jEwElS"

proceed to intentionally and specifically remove or severely nerf several build enabling jewels, with state of the art "explanations" such as "they are too common so they have no value" and "well, we had to remove the replica since we removed the non replica one". to me this sounds like "well, you know, since the first plane created was trash, we should just not even use planes at all"

this is not a random mistake as no one is this dumb. this was intentional.

oh man the ward-loop kiddoes are gonna go bananza on this one!!!!!! lmfao u nerf only the major top builds that are used during the leagues then come into the core game and NERF HAMMER THE rest of us who play 24/7 not just for leagues nor do we work for sell sites so this just made it harder for lots of casuals who already cannot afford the outrageous monetary changes to go along with more build nerfs. these are not balances these are manipulations that are being corrected.

IE: should check out the GOLIATH passive node stun seems to be working a very wonky angle on this and glacial cascade builds use it for it's inherent mess up.

Ps start nerfing things that should be nerfed like DROUGHT BRINGER omfg are u srs what is the point in flasks at all if the mobs can remove your flask gain and keep them at 0 and for some reason if you are wearing a mageblood with a DROUGHT BRINGER even the magic flasks that should run all the time seem to not work correctly with that mob skill.

like realy fix the already abhorrant amount of issues in the game before creating more for once please!!

remove Archnemesis!!!

Nice changes, thx for clarifications!!
