What happened to no nerfs mid league?

Nameless beast life got nerfed roughly 20% in latest patch
Thats 20% less dps for detonate dead

Hopefully Penance Brand wasn't accidentally getting double damage or something lol

Also really curious as to what the patch means for Penance Brand.

They """fixed""" energy count, my guess is that sometimes instead of adding 1 by 1 energy per pulse, it was giving random values, like 1 - 4 - 1 - 20
Now might be consistent 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 ... - 20

Ammmm... yeah?

There were plenty of bug reports on it, such as this one.

If you used Runebinder to attach two Penance Brands to one enemy, then when the enemy reached 20 energy, one brand would detach and explode. But not based on the enemy's energy. The explosion would be based on the amount of energy that brand had contributed, so it'd be like half the radius and damage.

Penance Brand builds had been avoiding Runebinder so far this league because of this negative interaction. Now you might see them picking it up.

My abyss drops are way less and my penance brand is doing more damage which is odd. I run t16 full juiced abyss and now I am one shotting the abyss before he even spawns his projectile mobs. I had to refigure out how to run it with the increased damage.

And I had a few super juiced abyss maps with 8k+ wisps and no divs or anything of value dropped. I ran 3 out of 5 with that much wisps. I usually just get my 4-5k. I have never had a map not drop a divine with 8k+ wisp. So to get a bunch all night is odd.

I came to the forums first time in a week just because I could feel a dps increase and my drops decrease. I am thinking of not running abyss now. Which is kind of a relief bc its mind numbing boring.

I was running rune binder. I had no idea about the bug. My DPS was good it didn't matter. Now its even more crazy.

DD should not deal damage based on enemy/coprse health. Its time to rework this stupid skill...

Oh it's a nice one didn't knew that! I have been using Runebinder and sometimes yeah indeed felt really weird, like actually bad when any boss had 2 brands attach, but when i just use 1 on the boss it was kinda smooth damage explosion and area of effect, will refund it and see! thanks

hoho They nerfed Shield Charge AoE mid-league during Prophecy. That was 7 years ago. What gave you the impression they're not doing minor adjustments to skills or interactions mid-league?
