Molten Strike got a buff

Projectiles deal 40% less damage at gem level 1, and 30% less damage (from 40%) at gem level 20.

Thing is, the total projectile count (without Grelwood Shank; talking about the usual MS builds here) before was 12, iirc, and is now 9.

Balls now deal 30% less damage.

This makes the total of (theoretical) projectile damage: 630% of base damage. Before it was: 720%.

So, you lose 90%, which is a total nerf of 12.5% less damage.

Wow, what a tragedy. But that's not all.

Thing is, Molten Strike increases the spread with additional projectiles, but since you are now having overall fewer projectiles, the spread is less, thus making it better for single target.

This was actually a clever "nerf".

They want to prevent you from spamming the entire screen with projectiles with AC.

Two things result from this:

Grelwood Shank and Dying Sun will rise in price.

I'd say the MS enchant is still valuable, perhaps even more needed than before.

Either way, Molten Strike is still OP and they only try to force a little shift from Life on Hit + AC shenanigans (not that this would really change much here).

im not sure is it nerf overall.
u get additional about 30% MORE dmg from gem
if u dont use grels than projectile number change from 12 to 9 (9*1,3=11,7)
if u use grels than from 14 to 11 (11*1,3=14,3)

and u get additional jewel which will give u about 5% dmg.

so if You dont use grels than dmg before patch and after is similar, and for builds with grels dmg is bigger than before patch.
soooo u have similar or bigger dmg with no lags. hmmmm looks nice? no no lets complain without any numbers. ggg banhammer so bad.

Grelwood Shank and the lab enchant might be expensive still

Also where did I say Grelwood's is expensive? You're reading comp that bad you misunderstood? Not my fault. I meant in the future genius. Stop attacking me man, it's getting old :)

*your

You literally did. Perhaps you should reconsider how you phrase sentences (in the future, genius). It makes reading and interpreting your comments the correct way a bit harder than it has to be.

And nobody's attacking you, either. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Or am I not allowed to pull the DamageIncorporated™ trick to agitate other commenters?

You're too smart for me champ.

Peace,

Suprised that the fat nerf to wb and leap seems to be ignored tbh, this is a big nerf to lots of build i think.
