Ouch.

That shimmeron nerf zaps my balls. GG to that nonsense now.

Well - its not a compelte nerf. Its actually a positive change in some respects as you get to use movement skills without worrying about critting stuff

8 power charges * 200 * 2 (dual wield) = 3.2k dmg per sec.

At 75% res = 800 dmg per sec
At 80% res = 640 dmg per sec (e,g, from body armour slot or a purity or a flask)

Both those amounts are kinda easy to overcome through things like recovery from trap throws, a few % from tree, Mind over matter mitigation, etc

In exchange, you now can use your movement skills freely (major buff to Flamedash or LIghtning warp) and dont need to worry about hitting stuff accidentally, as you are taking half the dmg you would have before

7 is the ideal amount with helm corruption, but 6 will be still the best for arc-trap + arc enchant. Aylardex is just bad to use especially with the degen. Shimmeron probably will still be viable, ONLY IF, the degen working like this = each time you crit again, your degen duration refreshed, doesn't matter how much skills you use, you will only have 1 instance of degen based on your PC amount. BUT IF, the degen working like = each time you crit again, you will be degening over and over again, making you take more than 1 instance of degen. The latter is just a no to use shimmeron, and the former while still might be viable, it will slows down trapper with dual shimmeron playstyle tremendously / it will become a spamfest on throwing trap (trying to get at least 18 traps triggered on each packs for the regen, or at least 8 traps triggered by enemy if using tinkerskin). MoM will be the savior but even so you can't really rely entirely on your flasks as they will run out eventually if you keep using them, and lavianga will be a mandatory unique for it.

Its a so so change to shimmeron, while they trying to compensate the degen for a caster, they punish people that find clever way to counter the degen, a typical ggg balance.

Stone of Lazhwar gave 50% block chance applied to spells.

With 75% attack-block this resulted in 37% spellblock.

Patchlog: "Existing versions now have +15% chance to Block Spell Damage"

A rarely used amulet got nerved from 37% down to 15% REALY!!!!!



Block chars was unplayable before and are un-un-unplayable now.
Its a shame. Either play Gladiator or use shields only as a stat-stick. Its a shame.

Not even legacy items are safe anymore!!!

spellblock was broken and it got fixed.

....best build!

In a scenario where some skills aren't allowed to be used? Or to be accurate, who can't be used, cause of insta death?

Support Gem Balance
Multiple Traps

• Now causes supported skills to deal 50% less damage at gem level 1 (from 40%) up to 31% less damage at gem level 20 (from 21%).

Cluster Traps

• Now causes supported skills to throw up to 2 additional traps at all levels (down from 3).

So we got the same effect from cluster traps, we already got with multiple traps, just that I am able to get 2 more traps at once lying on the ground with about 15% less damage while using cluster traps? Right?

Otherwhise I am really exited about playing the new delve!
