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.

Seriously though! How is using CoDT as a defense OP when ANY type of discharging full clearing a screen of mobs in one spell and ripping through a map in less than 5 minutes not OP and still in the game??? Priorities.....

GGG is absolutely clueless and obviously out of touch with their own game. Your point is very valid but GGG won't acknowledge it.

They've basically put ranged characters back on top and so far out front of melee, once again.

I love all the people butthurt about CODT. Sorry you don't get the free charges, armor, or w.e else. Sorry you need to level the gem. Get over it kids.
Great patch, I'm really glad you're fixing this GGG.

I believe that adding some form of mana reservation for the CWDT would have been the more elengant solution to the problem.

The CODT nerf would be easier to stomach if they waited until the end of the 4-month leagues to do so and announced the proposed changes well ahead of time. At least give more heads up time--despite knowing some type of change was coming, not knowing the specifics until a day before really stinks.

This is big lesson for us and also GGG.
Next time we should not focus our builds on anything since it can go to hell next patch.
GGG next time comunicate more with your comunity such changes. You know that almost half of the players are using that gem. We need to know such details way sooner not one day before patch!!!

BTW I remember something about how good was final build moth ago before release - well next time take another month and blance stuff properly I will rather wait more time then rebuild my character every two weaks.

This could work--and perhaps make it escalate per skill supported, e.g. 10% for 1 supported skill, 20% for 2, 30% for 3.

I love this patch but I do have a serious question.

Is CoDT simply not meant to be used by tanky characters?

I'm sitting at 60% phys mitigation (90% with flasks) and 83% all res (with the purity change this will drop to 80%) and lvl 18 arctic armor (I have enough regen to sustain lvl 20).

I'm struggling to get CoDT to proc PRE-Nerf. Is it possible to change the skill to proc off of pre-mitigation damage numbers, or some percentage of that which makes sense?

TEH GGG BROKE MUH TOY! WAAH!

Ignoring the pretty ridiculous amount of whining about changing a single skill, I think that a bit more communication about incoming balance changes would indeed be nice.

Other than that, I love PoE. I'm only somewhat dissapointed that mercilless is pretty easy compared to D2 hell. Using a straightforward warrior build (made by myself, that's where the fun is I think) I'm killing everything left and right. The only problem was Cruel Dominus.

Agreed you are completely and fully qualified to diagnosis "butt hurt".

That being said, you are wrong in every aspect here. Go back to softcore scrub




P.S. I need another rush through crual, I died again, totally not my fault, all GGG, i'll be in mumble tonight. Thanks **oh ya, about the scrub thing, just kidding, haha, not really"
