The issue we are fixing here is beyond OP, its actually a serious mistake that needed fixing.


Is it (players speccing into it) actually a problem in this league at this point in time? Would it have been a problem if the change was held off until the end of TOR/BL or the start of the next majro race (1 week or 1 month etc)?

I have no issue with it being fixed, I'm questioning the seemingly dramatised "must be fixed now" timing.

EDIT: it is like a basketball ref calling a soft foul in the final 2 minutes of a game when one team is up by 30 points.

Minara Anemina's minion instability hitting for 2k+ on 75% FR for months on end making her almost impossible to engage for some builds and nothing is changed...Mirror / Blink Arrow clones do to much damage and it's fixed in a matter of days.

Some times you really just don't know what to say...

I'm thinking it's damage control from a PR perspective, more than damage control from a playerbase perspective if that makes sense. Given the seemingly out of place nerfs that are sweeping across the board in (I'm gonna be honest here - quite erratic) ways that I have NO doubt in my mind are directly tied in preparation for act 4 changes and systems, the consistant nerfs have left a sour taste in peoples mouths. Letting this utterly ridiculous build (yes, I played it. It does INSANE damage) go further unchecked would disrupt the game in unhealthy ways if they left it till the next expansion, and the fewer people who hear about it and respec before the eventual nerf, the better for them overall.




As an aside, though - You think you could also give Minara's minions the same treatment?

FUCKING PLEEEEEEEEEEAAASSSE!

self cast spark is very very good.

I can barely kill rares now. It sounded like too heavy of a nerf and it was. Well that was a fun couple days. Wish it didn't take so many fusing to link my chest now I'm broke and without a build.
Finished 17th in Rampage - Peaked at 11th
Finished 18th in Torment/Bloodline 1mo Race - peaked at 9th

WHYYYY IT WAS NERFED?

The build wasn't op or strong.

The video showing.

This skill have 4 seconds cooldown. OMG GGG!

crap crazy GGG.

The builds with 2 million DPS is ok.

Cast on crit with 500k, 1m, 2m dps is ok. This weak build not.

GGG no sense.

Spark is serviceable, and Lightning Arrow was the reason Chain got nerfed. Have you seen that thing shotgun? It's still rediculous, even without voltaxic.

My only question is how on Earth did you (GGG) not see this coming when you tagged mirror arrow as "minion" and ALSO gave them that much life?
