God damn, when do people learn?
If everything is nerfed, skills which you call "unplayable" are now playable, not OP and plenty of unplayable skills in the last patch, are now PLAYABLE compared to meta slaves.

Thankfully GGG is not listening to players who have no idea what they are talking about - thats blizzard work.

i actually can understand nerfs, like this one is going out of control, we should nerf it, that one is way too powerful, we should nerf it.

but man, nerf does not mean to kill the build completely, the server crashing CoI feedback loop is not because the skill able to generate energy when they are triggered, its because you set absolutely 0 limit on cast on ignite gem about how fast they can be triggered again.

similarly barrier invocation cwdt builds are not overpowered because pyromantic pact can supply energy to barrier invocation, its because barrier invocation having 0 limit on fast it can be cast again once sufficient energy is provided.

So you think you stopped the interaction so CWDT build with barrier invocation is dead, and you stopped burning inscription able to provide energy and CoI build is dead.

But nerfing Burning Inscription wont kill CoI builds, as the true issue of all meta skills is not solved, killing burning inscription just force player to use another source to generate ignite, and because there are absolutely 0 limits on cast rate of meta skills, CoI or other meta skills will still be op. i mean, who the hell cares about the reduced energy gain? its only 200 comets per second or 100 comets per second, as 100 comets per second is still more than enough for current content

So, although as the person who created the BI-loop CWDT build i wished the build get nerfed, i'd be even fine if you say BI cannot be triggered faster than 1 cast per second or something like that, i'll then be happy and go find other combinations or skill synergies. But all i see from the PN is what i have done really annoyed devs as all the nerfs on meta skill seemly targeting BI. no more pyromantic pact energy supply, halved energy generation, so now you need 10 es for 1 energy, meaning for a single cast of comet, it need to take about 2890 damage on ES with lv18 qual 20% BI instead of 1445 before the patch. And what people get is a single comet cast without casting time, but still delayed because comet need time to fall from the sky. the cost for this instant cast of comet is now : 60 less spirit for other gems, 1 less slotable support gem, not able to be echoed. so whats the point of use barrier invocation? do we have anything scenario that this 60 spirit, 1 less support gem worth it for able to cast a spell without casting animation?

I love how everyone is freaking out about changes to builds that exist

"Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread."

This is the most important line in the patch notes.

yup. everyone crying is just exposing themselves as spark archmage copycats (aka people who dont even play the game). cant wait to see what the newly normalized game is like...we literally have zero idea right now

nobody cares about spark getting nerfed. everyone knew it was coming. people are upset about the whole game nerf via jewels and every other usable skill in the game getting a damage reduction even though half of them aren't specified in the game patch notes (see shockwave totem) nor did they even need a nerf. 100 trash jewels and a handful of bad uniques that may or may not help your build aren't going to make up for the nerfs - you can only use 5(jewels) and the chase uniques are nerfed into the dirt. if they want the game to be dark souls - they need to tell us now.

Blizzard has not listened to the opinion of the players for years. And what did it lead them to?

I don't what it led to generally but I can tell you I haven't touched any of their game and never will ever since what they have done to Diablo 3. After 10 years I still have raw animosity toward that gaming company, I really hate them. I just hope this feeling dosen't appear in me with GGG. After reading this patch It's the first time in a very long time that I'm starting to have these feelings again toward a different company than Blizzard, but I'm not totally radicalized yet.

They went from OP build to complete savage nerfs on anything and everything even played. What they've done to the minion build is a pure spit on the face of minion players. A non minion build player cannot grasp how bad what they've done to that class.

I will be logging in on release in standard to see how bad it is before jumping to the worst conclusions, but on paper, it looks insanely bad/disgusting.
