with 10 frenzy charges thats a 60ias nerf... HUGE

the skill that used to be the "Speed" skill is just now Normal

pretty sure its intended to give more place to tornado shot

Think its time to find another build

still going to use it, stupid nerf but whatever

FYI:

New Patch

Frenzy: This skill now has constant attack speed per frenzy charge of 5%, rather than increasing as the gem levels.

Old Gem:

Lvl 18 Frenzy
10% iAS per charge

Even if you have a mediocre build, you lose at least 30% AS

+ projectile weakness is nerfed: no longer reduction in enemy evasion rating


I didn't want to play tornado shot, because everyone would do that,
now I'm considering switching to witch for main character

thanks Obama

ya but im considering it with a decent build, so 10 Frenzy charges and a lvl20 gem (not even 20q) and its still a 60% loss

It looks pretty bad. Every skill gets 5% atk speed per frenzy charge. I mean for melee, now double strike will propably out damage frenzy, no matter how many charges you got, while frenzy costs absurd amounts of mana to spam. I do not understand this nerf.

I had high hope of using Frenzy again with the coming reduced mana cost.
With many ways to gain frenzy charge who will use Frenzy over other skills? Speed is the only attraction to Frenzy, at least for me.
Now if they would add movement speed to it or something...

There is no reason to use frenzy now that you can get a shitload of attack speed on the tree.
The only thing frenzy had going for it was the extra attack speed bonuses.

I am gonna switch my Facebreaker to IB or Molten Strike or something.

unless they finally give a good way to consume frenzy charges which would make frenzy's generator quite useful

Maybe a nerf intended to shift Frenzy from a main skill into a secondary one intended to support another main skill. You know, to break the one-button smashing meta.

If you are only using Frenzy i have bad news for you, you are bad...

Frenzy as main for masses + Puncture as secondary bosses... voila
