GGG should really do something about blade vortex's damage before slapping it on a mob. And GGG got a little too exited with adding Earth Quake to mobs I think. There like 4 EQ users in 1 patch, thats a little... Its not like ppl who use EQ just like seeing it here and there. Love everything else though. And the shield charge!!! at last T_T

Enfeeble now causes monsters to only lose 21% Critical Multiplier at Level 1 (from 40%), This goes up by 1% every 2 levels of the gem, having -30% at Level 20. A monster's base Critical Multiplier is +30%, so at level 20 this bonus is nullified. This makes it less effective when the monster has additional Critical Multiplier, through map mods or an affix.

Do i understand this correctly - Enfeeble negates basic monster crit multi so if i combine lvl 20 Enfeeble with Indomitable NOde from marauder side of the tree i receive 20% less dmg from Crits then from Regular hits ?
Or does indomitable only reduce the ADditional damage from crit multi by 20% meaning it does nothing when you use lvl 20 enfeeble ?
What is basic monster crit chance ? i wonder how many reckless defence jewels you would need to make it 100%

As such the items affected will not have legacy versions with old values. We have made sure these items display the correct new effective value however. The values of chaos conversion on Voltaxic Rift, Infernal Mantle and Consuming Dark uniques have been reduced to be 60% of their prior value.

Will you give radius back to elemental proliferation?

This is unlikely.

Passive Tree and Ascendancy Changes

The changes to Ascendancy Trees have been much more extensive.

As well as looking at general inter-Ascendancy class balance, there is a strong focus on "the nodes less taken" within each Ascendancy tree. It is also worth noting that some of the weaker classes can have some strong synergies unlock when eight points are available.

Rather than listing every change here, we have made an updated set of skill tree data available to the community for use in passive skill/build planning tools.

4th lab is something that we don't need.

Also, 8 ascendancy points tells me u gonna nerf a lot the current ascendancy points forcing people to run the end-game lab to get ur 8 points and full potential of a build and back to what we had here with 6 points. It says to me classes will still the same than before but with 8 points instead of 6. With the bad part of being bound to run a 4th lab and more labs trials ( OMFG NO PLZ ) while doing maps after merciles campaign.

Not cool.

Hi guys

For Chaos Sparkers with Ascendant Scion


Before 2.3

Voltaxic: 100% coversion to chaos
Deadeye: 50% chance to pierce and 20% increased projectile speed
Berserker: 1.5% damage leeched as life


With 2.3

Voltaxic: 60% conversion to chaos (no legacy versions)
Deadeye: 30% chance to pierce (inc projectile speed removed)
Berserker: 1% damage leeched as life if you've killed recently (past 4 sec)


It seems difficult to continue running in endgame. It needs to be tested.

It will work just fine. It will still be op. Reflect won't even be an issue and things will die offscreen just as fast. Maybe now we will need to press a life flask at bosses but with 6.8k life everything will be a breeze.
