Regarding Deadeye - am I missing something here or does Tailwind not seem that strong? My reasoning is that it's a more multiplier. Let's say that the average character has 50% movespeed on gear/passives. A 10% more multiplier from Tailwind would only actually be the same as a 5% increase to movemenspeed right? 50% x 1.1 = 55%. This is worse than the Raider's flat 10% for the 4 point phasing thing. The only time when this scales to being better than a 10% node is if you have 100% movespeed, which won't be the case most of the time.

I guess it does help significantly with attack speed (since it makes you 'faster'), but when you're running around one shotting most of the screen does 10% more attack speed really matter all that much?

I waited two leagues to see what you'd do with Elementalist and it's a disappointing result.
I haven't touched this class since the original Elemental Conflux was removed and honestly that was the only thing I loved about it. Other classes had more power, other classes had more utility, but elemental conflux gave the most satisfying feeling with awesome visuals whenever something melted to prolif.

Since the changes golemancer has been the only viable option for this class, and now instead of improving the weak points of the ascendancy you buffed the already viable golemancer option, leaving the much anticipated remainder of the class to suffer and rot.

Feelsbadman. All I wanted for christmas was Elementalist

25% elemental pen...

You couldnt ask for more.

It's the equivalent of a +more dmg.

Two years of playing necro, the weakest class of all and now we are even weaker. Seriously, is GGG actually playing their game or how is it possible that the Elementalist is now a better summoner than the actual necro?

In the past, we could take zombie node, spectre node and aura node. Uber lab was not doable, so we were stuck with these three. In future, we can only take two of these nodes, as they are too spread out now.

Our damage and our resistances will be lower, which means we have even less a chance to enter red maps, as it wasn´t already hard enough...
Most fun part is, instead of actually giving our zombies a few survival skills, they remain unchanged and will just die as always, but a bit quicker since the aura node is gone. Atziri just melts our Zombies, so do most boss encounters. You gave golems immunity, something our zombies needed as well.


Unless you reworked the passives, this is just hard to understand. If we were some OP class, like wanderer and Co. a class that cleans maps in 60 seconds, has shaper on farm and so on... but we were nothing like that. We were stuck in low tier red maps and yet we had to be nerfed...

I was used to play one of the weakest classes in the game, but that you make it even weaker is just crazy.
