witches are getting Hammered in this Patch along with other Nerfs. Why what was wrong with witches pre 1.3 ?

absolutely nothing. that was the 'wrong' part

1week race, top2000 - witches 860/2000

So witches got targeted because they have a lot of winners in the one week race ?. This is just insane that witches who are not the focus of the remap passive tree got hit a lot in this patch. Arctic Armor Nerf, Starting Area nerf. Anything else i am missing ?

It's a New Zealand phenomena called "Tall poppy syndrome" - anything successful gets chopped off at the knees.

Witches win races? Nerf them!

Nearly half of the 1.3 BoTWs use Cloak? Nerf it!

Instead of celebrating good things kill them - it's the NZ way!

Oh man... Here we go again. So much salt and whining every time a major game changing (which is a good thing!) patch hits. Every time!
The balance changes (also called nerfs :-P ) are all well deserved.
I would even say the nerfs aren´t enough: What about Arc? It remains absolutley untouched and therefore is still OP. As well as Tornado Shot.
Furthermore you guys should be aware that the balance changes take the new skills/support + uniques into account.
And why no love for some of the buffs?: Immortal Flesh, Defensive Auras for totems, Mana cost reduction of some skills (in combination with more reduced mana cost nodes on tree)

Can I think of many more changes (e.g. Shock Nova): Yes. But this is still a very solid patch.

Good work GGG! Keep it up!

After reading the nerf patch notes... I just can't think of a reason to keep supporting you, GGG. Time to play other games I guess.

so they have changed the skill passive tree again? i cant find the new one

Agree. But what remains? I am curious what builds* - especially what defensive concepts - will be viable for endgame (that is: 75+ maps) without spending 50+ exalts on gear.

*apart from high Eva/Acro/Ondars/Crit Ranger

So far, the worst patch for me since the open beta.

No wonder why GGG didn't post the patch note until today.

I will still try 1.3 though.

Awwww fuck me!
I was having a hard time as it is to create a good build that wasn't to much mainstream.
The game didn't need to get more difficult imo :S


Mostly nerf, a few nice buffs most so many nerfs..
i think no-lifers got catered here.




mfw reading patch notes

Facebreaker Shield Charge :D

Dear GGG. In future would you please lube my ass before ramming your throbbing nerf-bat up it? Thanks ever so much.

Really this looks like that patch (game ruining) that has me near the point of quitting. I can't even think of a reason to login tomorrow and even play this game that is becomming more and more farcical with every patch.

Don't expect any more money from me. I strongly urge others to stop supporting such a narrow minded developer.

All nerfs were well deserved. Now waiting for those flameblast and ST low life nerfs. ;)
