To everyone wondering why they didn't do this or that, remember this was done in two weeks after coming from holidays and acting upon things tey could take swift decisions on. About other changes allow them a bit of time. Some things weren't clearly intended, but for some balance changes I think it would be sensible to let them cook a bit more, maybe another week or two so they have time to think how to approach more changes. This list is already impressive for 2 weeks of work.

It's not only about changing the code or the numbers, the decisions and calculations and tests take time too!

How are we supposed to reroll corrupted uniques?

Get drop of another one. It's a game about looting (and building).

Yeah killing the concoction builds as a "bugfix" doesn't feel great. Feels like they just pick the most budget end game builds and then nuke them. Sure it's decent at bossing, but has mid clear and uses your flask charges.
Some love to compensate would have been nice, guess I shoulda been playing deadeye. No matter how good that class is, it doesn't get touched.

Selecting concoction for only 2 ascendancy points doesn't remove your ability to use the full selection of skill and support gems does it? If it does that's another bug.

So when exactly is this going to drop in the US? These post timestamps are confusing

underwhelming tbh.

lol gtfo

When will skills that are under performing be addressed? Chaos witch skills for example are all quite terrible.

Since I didn't see it in the patch notes, Uxmal, the Beastlord is in desperate need of a bugfix as well, as its ground effects are all permanent, which I'm certain is not working as intended.

Perhaps they're waiting to work on that fight since its in need of a general overhaul, but I feel like that bug should at least be looked at.

I agree with this interpretation. Obviously skill gems socketed in a meta gem will still trigger based on the meta gem's energy gain mechanics. However, the skill gem socketed in the meta gem can no longer gain energy from being triggered, meaning if you have are running cast on shock/freeze/crit, skills like comet that could shock/freeze/crit will longer generate energy from inflicting those ailments or critical striking.

I haven't played any of the cast-on-ailments or cast-on-crit builds but I assume this will hurt their sustaining trigger skills quite a bit. They'll have to rely entirely on other skills that initially begin the triggering of the socketed skills, to gain energy.

In related news, cast-on-minion death builds would be entirely unaffected by this change, since skills like comet that get socketed into cast-on-minion death were never gaining energy anyway.

so is this just a blanket fix because of some broken builds? Because I promise playing my chronomancer frostbolt->[cast of freeze]frostwall->[cast on crit]comet isnt anywhere close to these looper/autobomber builds that also use these skills.

Seems like not only that support gems like Impetus are dead? Could be misunderstanding this tho.

They mean that if for example you have comet on CoF. When comet triggers, it would also generate energy from being triggered.

And that broke some builds.

But yeah. Just a blanket fix and essentially is just another nerf to cold sorc. Reaching the point now where I just gave up. Easier to just go archmage, even as cold sorc.

But that is of course still untouched.
