Not going to lie I am dreading this patch.

Granted It's all beta notes It's still very well not good in my eyes.

It's pretty bad, but it's not all shocking - did anyone really not see burn prolif or Incinerate RIP coming?

Some of it did catch me by surprise, gotta admit:
- It's burn, and not just prolif they're changing. RF and Searing Bond will need a buff, else RIP.
- Shotgun, didnt't see this one coming at all.
- Ondars, I didn't expect this one until the patch after. It was block first, now defense for all life-based casters, I expected evasion to get crushed only in the patch after.
- EB, biggest shock of all for me. Change so bad, I'm literally blown away that this idea didn't get dismissed immediately.
- Rework of leech, again? I still have nightmares from the previous leech nerfs.

Also, addition of higher level item mods, if this means higher tier mods, permanent leagues are done. Shit patch called 1.3 made me want to quit the game, and not gonna jump to any conclusion before the official patch notes for 2.0, but yeah, initial reaction - it's really bad.

I don't think they will introduce high level mods that make obsolete existing ones. It's too predictable how everyone will react. I expect new, different mods, in an similar way the are introducing new bases.

Don't underestimate yourself, my man.

I remember when Arc first got that *insane* buff, and I was talking to people in-game and laughing how an auto-target and auto-chain skill is allowed to be that powerful, shit is gonna be so fucking OP now (and it was/is). I said it then and there, whoever suckered GGG into giving Arc that buff is a god damn genius. Everyone replied "it was Charan".

It's very very scary personally like I'll try it but if I will stay for the future and continue supporting them? Shit it's all debatable.

A lot of games are coming out :P hopefully I can find the right one if this flops anyway.

Kneejerk reactions based on partial, unfinished and still to be tweaked changes...nothing new here.

I think charan still dreads his involvement in the arc change.

Next on his list should be ethereal knives, for obvious reasons. . . wink.

Not going to lie, i think shadow got totally over-buffed.

Your call on the mana on kill and elemental vs physical change was a very solid and good one though. Totally reflects the shadows main theme.

But those life% in his passive tree combined with those double % leach nodes where totally overboard in my opinion.

Specially considering the melee part of the tree has not a single mana leach% available to them while it certainly fits there theme compared to all other parts of the tree.(having no mana regen etc, forcing every fighter in "blood magic or go home" or "get mana leach on gear")

But your aim in the CBT sounds clear and a worthwhile time investment, the progression shifts in difficulty have been bugging me for quite some time as-well, but you know this.

I hope you and others provide the necessary data to really make it a smoother curve. Really hopeful for that act3x to act 4 to act1 next difficulty curve to be a lot more pleasant from a players perspective.

Or maybe, a lot more logical, is the right word to describe what i mean?

Well, doing 360 degree shakedowns is a way to keep the game "fresh", if you have nothing better to do...

This time the Random Nerf Generator dropped the dice on Ondar's (lol), EB (loooooooool) and life leech (life melee too stronk! moar DPS, less survivability pls)
