Good job GGG. I want to thank you for being the giants in the industry and will continue to support you, when you are doing such massive changes and innovations in the gaming space in general.

I was reading this patch for 3 hours, jeez, still need to reread. Ty GGG, excited to play=)
Btw, everyone, who is crying about not nerfing CoC, look at ES nerfs first and read patch notes with eyes opened. And melee builds: again, read the patch notes carefuly, lol.
GL on 29th, exiles.

Not even one performance improvement, what a shame..

Wauw. Really thought they were going to make some changes to Smith of Kitava. But nope. Awesome you repaired Lightning warp

Why is everyone acting like their existing build was nerfed? This is a new league where you start a new character. Enjoy the process of figuring out what is good in the new meta, that's literally what makes fresh starts fun in this game

You mean streamers do that while 95% of the people just copycat it because they can't come up with anything on their own.

While instant leech is nerfed Blood Mage now has 20% spell leech. Isn't that 40k x 20% = 8k per second?

Still seems a lot faster than you could possibly get mana to regenerate. So still BIS for CoC sustain from all the available options. Mana takes a ton of investment to just get it to regen past 1k mana per second.



I'm more concerned about the heavy ES nerfs. Builds I used to play are going to go from 1 second ES recharge delay to 3 seconds ES recharge delay and recover ES like 3 times slower when the recharge actually starts. Going to feel really bad to play I think. Can't switch over to life builds because those are just worse. I played ES builds because there are no other options if you don't want to get one-shot, not because ES was too good.

Let's goooo!

Cast Speed Modifiers on Rings and Amulets are no longer shared with Foci and Wands.

What does this mean? Will the effects be multiplied or will the strongest one be effective or how will it work?

Nurfed warrior... Nice...
