Double-tap nerf to Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice ?!
|
Reading the patch notes for 3.28 :
"Intelligence now inherently grants 1% increased Maximum Energy Shield per 10 Intelligence (previously per 5 Intelligence)." Fine and all, but this is a double-tap nerf to Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice, lowering both damage and defense. Just making sure that is intended and not an oversight ? (it already got nerfed hard through Whispers of Infinity last league, is much weaker than other meta skills while requiring more investment) Maybe increase the base skill damage to compensate. Affliction, Necropolis and now Keepers are the worst leagues ever. Loot-shower fest, chase uniques too available, stacked decks and valdo boxes are a flawed design, and now the genesis tree handing out overpowered items hence invalidating several farms and crafting avenues.

The ES nerf makes sense as a whole, but what doesn't is not numerically buffing all the skills that depend on ES to do damage to compensate.

No more Awakened gems anymore either so Awakened Cast on Crit for the CDR boost is gone. I need to look more into this though.
This may end up being a coin interaction though. Craft a support onto a gem to use the new CDR support gem, but level 1. I have a feeling this is a nerf but I dont know yet. Last edited by Recker247#7279 on Feb 27, 2026, 10:04:45 AM
