No Haste = Less cast speed / Less attack speed for SRS = Huge DPS nerf. Al least still works with Spell Echo...

A bit disappointed by the too small Ice Nova buff but we'll see how it plays out with the new tree. Same goes for the harsh Frenzy nerf. Other than that I'm pretty hyped :) Thanks GGG. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.	Posted by Xavderion#3432 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:48:19 AM Quote this Post
" The Witch and Shadow passive tree starting area has been redesigned. The area surrounding the Witch, Shadow and Ranger has been redesigned. Many clusters throughout the tree now have new notables. Many values have been adjusted. Question - Does that mean tomorrow after I log into my Witch. None of my points that I have in the tree currently will be their. or will they still be their and new ones will be added. Just wondering if I should prepare for not having them in their current locations or will they stay were they are now ?	Posted by LordSaren#4062 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:51:46 AM Quote this Post

If you increase the duration you will increase the dmg most likely. The new mechanic seems to imply that viper strike protits most form increased skill effekt, massive attack speed. " deal 175% of the attack's damage as chaos damage over seven seconds or perhaps this will be a good use for reduced duration, to apply those 175% damage in less time	Posted by storzi#2847 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:53:14 AM Quote this Post
SRS 20 % nerf is not enough, 30 or 35 % would have been more balanced. IGN TylordRampage	Posted by Malone#6946 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:53:39 AM Quote this Post

I dont know why people always want to run discipline to run MoM/AA. I run a 24 aa with Cloak on a 5 aura witch atm, could easily drop PoF+PoL which i only use for Atziri. Haste/Hatred/Clarity are totally fine. Gonna be able to run a high lvl AA, even when using a staff. ＴＯＩＬＥＴＴＥＢＲＵＳＨＢＯＹＳ @Etti	Posted by etti_a#3143 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:54:25 AM Quote this Post
"Bug Fixes: Improved preloading of game assets to remove some small stutters during gameplay." wait, is this suppose to be the optimization patch? how significant will this "bug fix" be, in terms of optimization?	Posted by lakalavera#6053 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:54:56 AM Quote this Post
What happens with rearguard. Will it drop after the patch even if it is tied with invasion? I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.	Posted by Pyrokar#6587 on Aug 20, 2014, 3:57:24 AM Quote this Post

With 50% (lvl 6) Increased Duration and the 90% increased Skill Effect Duration in the skill tree you should get around 17 seconds to apply an unlimited numbers of Vipers. Hm.

And how does one skill gem have an effect on another skill gem? This does not make sense.	Posted by Kaw#5407 on Aug 20, 2014, 4:02:36 AM Quote this Post
