Patch Notes - 1.0.1 Patch Notes - Forum

I'm so disappointed at GGG balance team. CoDT rebalancing means 'hey guys do not use CoDT. We made a wrong one or our balance team didn't do their job properly.' Bring it back or do damn right balancing.	Posted by netreader01#2579 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:38:22 PM Quote this Post

Taking a bunch of smaller hits with time to leech life back in between will still work. And if you're taking 2k+ damage hits THAT often, sorry but you have bigger problems than the CwDT nerf anyway. yes yes 100 times yes - if you are taking 2k hits you do have a much bigger problem... Cast on Damage Taken, again was supposed to be an augmentation over time - not a - "bam cast these 5 spells every 2 seconds TYVM so I'll never get hit, gg OP" If you run, as the poster before me said, to the flavor of the month OP build, you're going to be severely disappointed. If your entire survivability was based around this Gem casting Endurance, Totems, Curses for you - then your build (for hardcore/nemesis) is/was broken and wrong... Remember how we used to all be able to run 6 aura builds - Inner Force + Disc + EB = 6 auras every time - yeah... OP - and it's gone now (yes some people can still run multiple auras, but you REALLY have to spec/gem for it now). And some people - actually were leveling their Cast on Damage Taken for Molten Shell - Cast on Damage Taken + Molten Shell + Life Leech = "Boom Thanks For The Giant Self Heal + Damage Output" CoDT can now do what it was intended to do - and it wasn't to carry people through content they shouldn't be in...

Do you people seriously think posts like this are the best way to convince the developers to change their game? Or for that matter to convince anyone about ANYTHING at all? Seriously? All it does is make you sounds like a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum because their favorite toy got taken away. Grow up, turn the caps lock off, and if you dislike a change, at least use your damn brain and try to make a half-way reasonable argument for why you think that way. Better yet, try to think about something other than just how it affects YOU and your current build and consider the overall impact on the game once in a while. And maybe even actually wait and TRY the changes before complaining too much. Because you know what? They may not be perfect, they may make mistakes now and then, but GGG has spent YEARS working on this game and they also have tons of data showing how all these skills are being used etc. They HAVE actually tested these changes out at least a little bit. So I think it would be safe to say they probably have at least a little bit better idea what is going on with them than you do. As for my own opinion on the changes to CwDT, I'll start with the obvious: Yes, it needed to be changed. It was massively overpowered. There is just no way to argue against that. When I first got that gem, it pretty much instantly took me from struggling to just barely get by in some zones to completely facerolling them. It was obvious within a few minutes at most that it needed to be nerfed. And it was also obvious to me that when it was, it would be something that would make it so you needed to at least consider leveling the gem up. As for the specific way they chose to do the nerf, I'm not so sure. It does look like it'll have the desired effects, but it's not how I would have done it. But no, for everyone crying about it...it doesn't make it completely useless. As soon as I saw the patch notes, I started leveling it up to see how bad it'll be. Even at level 9 so far, it no longer triggers every few seconds, but it does trigger often enough. So I'll have to wait and see, but I think at most, if they lower the damage requirements a bit like it sounds like they're already considering doing, it should be fine. And for everyone saying now you need to take a 2k hit to trigger it now, in which case you'll be dead anyway...No. It goes off of TOTAL damage taken, not one single hit. Taking a bunch of smaller hits with time to leech life back in between will still work. And if you're taking 2k+ damage hits THAT often, sorry but you have bigger problems than the CwDT nerf anyway. As for everyone saying now they have to unlevel all their other gems or whatever...again, no. You know what's coming. Stop whining on here and take the next day or so to level the CwDT gem up a bit so you will be able to use it. And finally, yes, things will continue to change in the game constantly. Get used to it. Especially if you're one of those people who immediately runs to the most overpowered flavor of the month build every time. omg I knew I had to erase the part of my post " please comment on my post like a dumbass " ooh w8 didn't put it in my post... so stop being so sensitive and grow a sack ! I was in fact addressing a very important issue did I over react maybe..do I care not really and do the devs actually read this thread beyond page 10? hmm don't think so lol PS : I think you could have made your post allot shorter .lolz If you put water into a cup it becomes the cup..if you put water into a bowl it becomes the bowl..water can flow...or it can crash..be like water my friend------BOOOYAH!

Hey . I have a little suggestion how to change CoDT to actually make it better . 1. Remove it from the quest reward . 2. Make it a 3 lvl gem (like empower etc.) : - At lvl 1 CoTD will trigger at 2000 dmg taken - At lvl 2 CoTD will trigger at 1200 dmg taken - At lvl 3 CoTD will trigger at 500 dmg taken And then u can do stuff with like add empower to get it to lvl 4 or 5 (with emp lvl 3) and u can play around with that and make it more fun ... like at lvl 4 it triggers at 500 dmg taken and liked gems have lvl 10 Life leach or stuff like that . By doing this yeah the gem is rly powerfull at lvl 3 + empower lvl 3 (but to get there u have to work for it ) but also is more rare to get (drop only) and having a lvl 3 actually worth something then a generic lvl 1 everyone was using . Pre 1.0.0 anyone lvl 31 can use it at full potential and it was OP tbh . After 1.0.1 is just broken .	Posted by rfr0zen#2536 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:43:57 PM Quote this Post

Game experience may change during online play - We should all know this by now. All these nerfs were much needed. Those parts of the game were somewhat unbalanced. Last edited by WTG_#3493 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:45:21 PM	Posted by WTG_#3493 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:44:21 PM Quote this Post
guys.. okay. codt was really op, it was new, its okay to change this but really a purity nerf??? meanwhile i really cant hear anything more of "there was a problem while group playing" and because of that .. if so, damn change it for group players and DONT change gems for solo players. i actually loved this game and am playing solo in fact you have to play! your char in maps, not permanently bombing aoe while having all damage and defense auras in a group. i quit WoW because i dont have any time for making friendships online or beeing responsible for any role or aura in an guild/group. Thats why i came here. now it feels more and more like blizz, more group powering, more money?? think about it.	Posted by OrwinMaldoran#6709 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:49:26 PM Quote this Post

Thanks, nerf melee more, you know having an auto 1k+ armour and endurance charges helped there survivability, and melee I find is by far more fun than ranged. On that note gj leaving screen clearing discharge which is clearly not op at all.	Posted by warlegionnaire#3893 on Nov 12, 2013, 1:50:23 PM Quote this Post
