You have no idea what you are talking about. How do you sustain cost for comets with leech nerf now?

I've noticed a few people not understand the comet spam came from life leech. They just ctrl+f = cast on crit, then get angry

That's literally 90% of the playerbase sadly. This is why GGG don't listen playerbase too much on balance changes. They understand nothing.

Out of curiosity, would you consider lack of twister nerfs a very bad thing?
Is it safe to assume it will be a 30% twister meta from fubguners? (which is bad to whole playerbase beside them)

I like the overall patch notes except this and melee nerfs (considering those are targeted at less than 3%)

I wanted to play xbow but looking at that there is no twister got me thinking twice hmmmmm

😶

Insane stuff!

I'm dubitating about chronomancer changes. I like most of them but one sounds weird to me.

that may be nice having Unbound Encore (Time Snap skill) preceding Ultimate Command (Time freeze skill). As the video said, it will cost 4 points instead of 8 points of ascendancy.
but why doing the opposite with Footprints in the sands (Temporal Rift skill) ? it costs 2 points and it will cost 4 points because a new Phased Form node precedes it.
if you want Time Freeze, Time Stop and Temporal rift, it will still cost 8 points.

why not adding a link between the two nodes at the bottom of the hourglass ?

good

not a single word about optimization, cool, skip again :)

Twister was never touched since 0.2 which was the release of Huntress class. It was almost the same in every league so far but never popular. If you remember even in our current league, people went poison pf mostly. Twister was still the same destroying everything, I can link you a video that one guy showcases his Twister build in 0.4 which is like 10 times crazier than any build out there. Surely it got better with better items / crafting added to the game but it never got any attention from both players and the devs.

Now suddenly, because of the new ascendacy class everyone decided to try twister and now that some content creators speedrun the campaign with twisters and broke the record, it got even more attention.

Now with all the nerfs and twister not being touched it's getting even more attention. I guarantee you there are different builds out there that nobody figured it out yet or they did but they are not content creators and play with their own way. And those builds are probably not got touched by the devs as well and insane as twister maybe even smoother and better.

Therefore, this is only happening because people just realized how op it is and now demanding nerfs when only around 1-2% of the playerbase played the twister build in 0.4

In any case, I will be playing twister and decided that before patch notes because I want to play with spirit animals and twister is also eye candy when you elemental twisters, plus the spirit animal colors. I just like colors. Even then I WANT IT TO BE NERFED, hopefully they nerf it. Just because it took too much attention and if they don't nerf it this league will turn into 0.2 where everyone was Lightning Spear until mid league. Now we will be seeing twister everywhere. Bad build variety is unfun.

It's going to really hurt the builds on the pure ES in the company and on the early maps.
RIP BOZO

Why isn't there a buff to Warrior abilities?
Why are there only Warrior nerfs?
Why are we playing League 5 with terrible abilities?
