1.0.0 Release Patch Notes

This patch is just balancing through nerfing.

2 handed weapons suck? Nerf shields!
Want to play solo? Can only run 1 maybe 2 auras. Best bet is you join a group and forget about farming solo.
Like to craft? Don't bother crafting an ES shield, can't get the best mods anymore. Just find a mirror.

There is very little reason to play anything but their races/4 month leagues.. Sorry GGG not even remotely as excited as you are by your "challenge leagues". SC/HC are just dumping grounds and you're not helping anything by having ridiculously over powered legacy unique.

Also, despite the obvious mishaps you're trying to prevent I should be able to reduce my 4-link to 2x 2-link if I want to. I'm hoping you'll add an option to do this.

2 handed weap dmg got buffed... just saying.

Why so many nerfs? I can throw my build away now :( , is there no other solution than destroying all those nice builds?

Seriously with all those changes and nerfs you can also do a Char wip.

Cba to produce a wall of text commenting the changes so i'm just gonna say two things:

1. Releasing without fixing the desync..... seriously?

2. Next time we have such major changes to the skill tree aswell as major rebalancing it would be good to atleast let the players know beforehand (releasing the new skill tree isn't so damn hard to do is it?) so we actually have some idea about the direction our builds are gonna take..

As stated by someone above me, they buffed 2h weapons.

Also, they nerfed shields to give more incentive for peoples to use 2 handers because obviously shields were providing too much survivability to sacrifice them for bit more damage from a 2 hander.

From what i know they didnt because they were changing things up untill the last moment. so releasing a new passive tree that might change again before release doesnt sound like a good idea to me.

Couldn't appreciate these changes more, can't wait for tomorrow.

Yessss! My planned build for nemesis will use Blood Magic! CAnt wait to see it.

Changing things up untill the last moment when you have a set release date doesn't sound like a good idea either.

Make gems legacy too please

Bear Trap
Fire Trap
Elemental Hit

Instead of divining, if you level them up they automatically update to the new values. Simple and easy. lvl 20 ones will be perma legacy though, fortunately.
