    This could be misdirection but if not, I am not surprised.

    This update will be applied as an aura around your Skitterbot.

    I guess I'm going Skitterbots this league?

    Doesn't seem like the end of the world? Mistress capped at 50% again?

    The Necromancer path now causes you to have reduced critical strike chance or critical strike chance or critical strike chance or critical strike multiplier.

    Some interesting mod work. Looks like it may be for a more deterministic system in 2.0?

    they nerfed VD/slinger necro like everyone thought that would

    also, mistress being nerfed isn't too bad for actual summoners

  • BrodyBrody The Watch The First ShoreRegistered User regular
    I think maybe I want to try Crackling Lance CoC Discharge? And if the CoC Discharge doesn't work, just all in on Crackling Lance. But I will probably end up league starting spectres. Even with Redemption Sentries being nerfed, I can just use the act 5 mobs, or find something else to use.

    It's not, but it will just get the people who don't play necro to complain about something like Soulwrest because a video makes it look better than it is.

    The reduction in the Necro is kinda eh, as flesh offering was a nice nuke boost but it can be played without it.

    As a SC who has heard a couple of times now the complaints about repeated nerfs to survivability, seeing the nerfs to Glancing Blows, Enduring Cry, Divine Flesh, and Offerings is a bit annoying, because I know its going to become a bitching point.

    No mention of Earthshatter nerfs and Gladiators dgaf about Glancing Blows, so Earthshatter Zerker, Lacerate or bleed bow are still on the menu for me.

    I wanna do Unleash Firestorm so I can drop a bunch of meteors on people

  • NogginNoggin Registered User regular
    Right? I really want those meteors to be good.

    I’m increasingly thinking that call of steel might be more annoying than fun. Does the patch typically appear before the league? Maybe I’ll try it if so.

    And then again, I’m still curious to see any passive changes for hexes/doom.

    The patch basically always occurs simultaneously with the league. The way they talk about things, the changes they make to the game at large for balance, and the changes they make in terms of adding content for the league, are as a matter of fact always the same patch.

    I thought I had another day to finish my challenges, not sure why, apparently calendars are hard. I had basically everything saved up to do them, just hadn't had time to sit down and do it.

    Ah well, harvest was fun so can't complain I guess. My earthshatter JUGG was definitely the best character I made. I didn't even get around to crafting or buying a decent weapon and it was still awesome with a Hege's Era.

    Good news - you can get Delirium as a map mod.
    Also news - it costs 16 chaos.

    That’s part of what I love about this genre. The other is that shorter play sessions can still feel worthwhile; whereas this summer I only got through Last of Us 2, and still have ff7 and doom waiting to get started, because I feel like I need a good 2+ hours at a time for games like that.

    firestorm looks sick
    shattering steel looks fucking busted

  • eelektrikeelektrik Southern CaliforniaRegistered User regular
    "Added more than 800 Alternate-Quality variants of existing and new Support and Skill Gems."


    ...Welp, am I going to be playing more PoB than PoE?

    Vulnerability

    No longer causes attack hits to have a chance to Maim cursed enemies.
    No longer causes cursed enemies to take increased physical damage from damage over time.
    Curses applied by casting this spell now gain 10 Doom per second.
    Now causes ailments inflicted on cursed enemies to deal damage 20% faster.

    fucking lol

  • FiatilFiatil Registered User regular
    I'm very tempted by that shattering steel. It looked kind of lame in the developer video, but I assume it will get a lot cooler with the right support gems. Steel impale explosions caster is hard to pass up!

    Now I just need to figure out how the heck to build that before Friday.....that hexblast is pretty tempting too though....

    Is this the final fantasy Doom where monsters die after a set period? That would be fun. Or is it more like Ruthless?( think that's the one)

    Shattering Steel's numbers look pretty nuts
    Now has a base attack speed multiplier of 85%.
    Now deals 100% of base damage at gem level 1, up to 127% at gem level 20.
    Now has 8 to 12 added attack physical damage at gem level 1, up to 113 to 169 added attack physical damage at gem level 20.
    Now has a 40% chance to impale enemies on hit.
    Now fires 2 additional projectiles.
    Projectiles now deal up to 100% more damage at close range, based on the distance they travel, per Steel Shard consumed.
    Now grants 1 Steel Charge when you consume Steel Shards, granting +4% chance to block attack projectiles per steel charge. These have a base duration of 5 seconds.
    Now consumes up to 2 Steel Shards.
    Now fires only one projectile if no Steel Shards are consumed.

    Also: Each time you consume Steel Shards, you gain a Steel Charge (up to a maximum of 6), which grants 4% chance to block attack projectiles per Steel Charge.

    I'm leaning toward some kind of Crackling Lance + Archmage on top of a Sigil of Power, but the steel skills look much improved too.
