You guys must hate concoction skills right? Zero buffs to the skill nor the tree. Shit damage, shit clear. Since there no Prism of Belief for concoctions, the Vertex +4 has the only decent damage scaling skill level item for concoctions.. Now it's gone too.

You cant use Heralds with Concoction either unless you use hollow palm however most concoction users use an off hand hence making heralds not work as it should..

Buff twisters right?? L GGG

They nerfed and gutted SO many builds it's insane. Most of it I think is indirectly or unknowingly through things like this. But then they do stuff like letting you get 3 bells that can be exploded.

One viable mace skill nerfed. Pure ES builds gutted. Reduced duration almost pointless. Melee and proj builds nerfed 2 skill levels but not spells. Comet deservedly nerfed but other spells not buffed to compensate, when pretty much every spell is shit damage outside of Comet and Lightning Conduit and the spell meta was to cast the spell that generated energy the fastest for CoC. Infernal legion gutted. Thunderstorms single useful trait removed from the game. Leech gutted. Infusions not reworked.

I could go on and on. Very few buffs in return. The Ancestral Bond change is neat but totems don't consume infusions so they're useless.

What is there to play? Literally just twisters and quarterstaves?
