I wouldn't nerf it at all.


Fair enough.

I just share GGG's view when it comes to defenses; the moment defenses become so strong (immunities etc) that the practical fear (read: Chance) of death is more or less gone, there's not much 'game' left. When those defenses are on top of an amount of damage that 99% of builds can only dream about, it should - IMO - be dealt with.

I respect your view - on one condition; that you've never made a complaint about balance or build diversity, as builds like this are a direct 'enemy' to both of those. You ca never have balance or build diversity in a game where extremes like this is allowed. Of course, it shouldn't be nerfed now; mid-league nerfs are bad. But to "make up for years of bad balance by even worse balance" isn't quite my cup of tea.


Well it's a nerf matrix rather than black and white. It's shades of grey. He still farms like ass, Unlike say nearly invulnerable aurastacker did. He still isnt popular. With certain builds like Zzang or roos he' only phys immune unlike aura stacker nearly all immune. I'd give it time. It's like miners compared to self cast. miner 10x more powerful but still no one wants to play them so they are left alone. Leave him alone.

I bet ur using some meta build.


Yup Im playing Wintertide Brand Elementalist in HCSSF right now.
Its so meta that most people dont even know this skill exists...

Calm down dude. Mathil never plays a build for more than 30hrs to make sure anyone can do it. He is actively avoiding dumping too many ex into his builds.
This game confuses me more every day.

GGG: well first let's nerf Molten Strike some more just to get started...

3.17 patch notes

--Boneshatter's trauma stacks each reserve 10% mana
--Shroud of the Lightless now sets your light radius to 0
--It also loses ele pen and Shade Form no longer grants any phys reduction, it just throws shade. At mobs. "Your hair sucks, Veritania. Stop parting it down the middle. It just draws attention to your hook nose." These changes are retroactive (this is a buff)
--Movement speed is no longer considered an action speed for the purposes of Kaoms Roots
--Unstoppable removed from jugg ascendancy and replaced by Unskippable, granting the Jugg a cutscene for every slam attack that you can't fast-forward or animation cancel. As he sails through the air, giant bonk stick bearing down on a hapless cosmic abomination, eye-searing fluorescent colours streaming past him anime-kougeki style, you keep spamming ESC but it doesn't do anything.
--Temp chains now affects your ping

Well based on the history of GGG nerfing skills and items, Boneshatter will be obliterated into ether, and almost no one will play it next league


People is playing it cause the interaction makes the skill absolutely broken AF.

Yup. And they will over correct into uselessness.

They will give you immunity to curses just like every other self-curse builds lol.

"trauma now gives 1% less effect of curses on you per stack. Technically this is a buff."

LOL too funny Crunk. Sad thing it's probably not to far off when they decide enough is enough. They bury it as you eluded in MS.

I dont even play standard but was going to try Zzangs build in STD because ive never been past 760 mine and bought most of the gear. Decided against it after doing a bit a trading which is disgusting in and of itself, anyway, made like 180ex profit selling everything I just bought a couple days earlier.

Foe example replica eternity shroud I paid 4ex and sold for 20.

Not so cheap anymore. So goes meta

the most obvious way to gut this skill would be to make the recoil deal true damage

I personally think Boneshatter won't be touched. It's Shade Form that will be adjusted. Shade Form is what makes Boneshatter broken and it's easily resolved by making it so you can't have it 100% up. They may simply give it the guard treatment where cooldown does not run while it is active. Maybe the fix is as simple as classifying it as a guard skill so it inherits those properties.
Thanks for all the fish!
