Yeah well, its a great patch for sure
Nerfing minion instability is like saying "from now on,if you want your minions to do damage take all minion hp pasives", i agree on this , problem is: zombies with plenty of hp will surely explode with good damage but will also take a hell of a time to bu killed (due to high hp amount) ==> not viable at all (exept for noobies who like to be extra cautious) or to have some kind of meat wall (without any minion passive , so for all build) Summoner's dps is the lowest of the game, i just hope that you guys have plans for us :) (begining with minion counter ;) As you can guess my next build will be a caster with no minion passive at all, i'am dumping my summoner xD Great work can't wait for it :) Current exiles under command :

I would be very interested in the possibility of Tempest Shield working with staff weapons as well (if it doesn't already). I am sure it is a balance/concept issue so I understand some objections, but the option it would give some payout on the the INT requirement on staves.

Thanks. Particularly looking forward to trying out that Elemental Balance keystone :).
" ...do point-blank shots still go off in weird directions? I don't see mention of it in the bug fix list. |

" They do, but that's not related to this passive. | |
"One of the big advantages of most witches at the moment is they're much less dependent on gear for damage than other classes. They don't care at all about the base damage of their wands. This skill provides very easy access to power charges at the cost of making them actually have a reason to care about how much damage the wand is doing and consider picking up a couple of wand damage passives on their way through the tree. The idea is that now the witches can still blast through mobs with spells, but they'll consider finishing them off with the wand when they're nearly dead, for the reward of power charges. It also provides a boost, and another available attack, to actual wand-based builds, who didn't have many options. This skill doesn't preclude making a spell that can grant power charges at some point, but that would need it's own opportunity cost, or not be as easy to get charges with as power syphon. | |
" Summoning, as a whole package, is in the pipeline for a rework. I see it, right there, on the whiteboard with a version number noted next to it. Chris will be updating the Beta Manifesto soon, which should give some guidelines of what it upcoming. | |
"Haha, spoken like someone with the mentality of a.. young person. I would say child, but I don't want to be too insulting. You don't know the game well enough if you can't figure it out yourself. I don't need to prove anything to you, kiddo. |

hmm, with the way power siphon works does that mean i have to use a wand to get it? (gonna be a drag for my conduit templar)
other than that, mint changes all round (good to see minion instability's been toned down a bit) |
