First of all you didnt not lose 80% of your DPS to "kill things 5 times longer".
Second, even if you would lose 80% of your RF DPS, you still would not kill things 5 times longer because for most part you kill stuff so fast you wouldnt even notice the diffrence and for tanky stuff you use Fire Trap which has WAY higher single target and RF is just small part of your DMG at this point.

Will RF be slower now? Yes. Thats the point of the nerf. But people should stop acting like the skill is dead and unplayable now. Only case in which it will be unplayable is if you still expect to clear end game content on 1 div build.

if you think throwing fire trap at every single rare in the maps on RF build is "fine" you are clueless

You are the only clueless one here if you think you will need to throw fire trap at every single rare monster.

LMAO!! God forbid your walking simulator got nerfed a little bit.... Also, learn to read. The damage on RF is fine, just not as easy as it was. Fire trap has always been the main source for single target damage for RF builds you clown.

Why would you not throw traps?? Your losing more than half your damage......

Anytime you want to race me with RF in HCSSF mode, just let me know. Put your money where your mouth is. IF you were even half decent at the game you would not be on here crying about a small nerf to one of the most easy OP skills in the game. Adapt and move on bud. Play something else, or figure out how to scale the new RF damage. ITS FINE! If it isnt , just use fire trap haha

Nobody is crying for a stale meta change. I don't hear it ever. I all hear for the last couple years all i hear is RF is low damage garbage for learners. ... if you really want balance you need to buff RF.

There is no reason to nerf RF ( if you say it's not a nerf, you never played it ), So what could the reason be? Certainly not Balance HAHHAHaaa... RF is a low end crappy build that is getting nerfed for the 100th time. Maybe once in the distant past it was on par with most other builds. Now it cannot do End game bosses without megaton of investment. After the nerf well , what once was garbage is now crap. But you want to tell me garbage was too OP.

And my guild now theorycrafting bow RF with new alt burning arrow

Since RF does not hit, seems low cost to use RT and just shot 4-link new burning arrow

RF was just solid mapper not op skill...

nerf is 40%

I wonder what RF build it is.......2k life/ehp but large regen?

It has 35% > 70% but no flat damage.....


So that how about you list yours math?

It is your problem with 5k life build......

5k is not tanky for right side of the tree, and RF usually allocate the left side.....

5k is super tanky you realize life isnt the mandatory thing what makes you tanky? its the other defence mechanics you can have 3k hp and be more tanky than 15k hp build [Removed by Support]

Also


5000 life


old:


5000*.35 + 2447.9 = 4197

new = 5000*.7 = 3500


3500/4197 = 0.83


It is not 40% loss from base lv 20 gem


you need to be 2k glass cannon to loss that much of DOT

no. for HC build with damage taken as and high res (and armor, spell suppression etc probably) , 5k is not tanky



the SC build definition of "tanky" is however, don't waste all the portals i guess
