Sure am glad I took advantage of the last Steam sale.

Got a half dozen games to tide me over until the next content patch.

Hopefully things improve by then.

I knew some things in my favorite build were going to get nerfed.

But they literally removed a major defensive skill (GF) instead of just reducing the amount of overflow it provided.

Nerfed pretty much every spirit skill I used.

Was going to just go with DELA Ranger as league started but they apparently also killed its bossing capability.

Disappointed is an understatement.

Grim Feast was broken. If you're quitting because of it then you were using it as a crutch. Anyway good patch can't wait to try it. Hope we keep getting major changed throughout the EA.

LOL This remind me of Helldivers2.

I can't stop laughing at how insane some of these nerfs are. If you have been following the meta of various builds its pretty clear that the vast majority of them are completely unusable now.

Not weaker, not harder, genuinely bricked. I can't even work with corpsewade anymore as minion respawn changed, damage was cut in half, brutes hp was nerfed and if you want pconc as a chain starter they also nuked widowhail scaling (lmao).

Ultimatum also apparently not worth running anymore, the main appeal of simulacrum (flask) is also worthless while being 10x harder xD

I won't say this patch ruined the game but the initial reaction is definitely not positive, and im sure that this is very much expected. I just hope that we'll manage to find enjoyment amongst this flood of nerfs.

EXPEDITION 2.0

3.15 PTSD from reading these notes. GG

I'm excited for a potential slower paced endgame

I'm actually relieved. I don't have to decide between this and LE now. This patch is a masochist fiesta, more power to ya if you're into that but it ain't for me.
