i actually can understand nerfs, like this one is going out of control, we should nerf it, that one is way too powerful, we should nerf it.

but man, nerf does not mean to kill the build completely, the server crashing CoI feedback loop is not because the skill able to generate energy when they are triggered, its because you set absolutely 0 limit on cast on ignite gem about how fast they can be triggered again.

similarly barrier invocation cwdt builds are not overpowered because pyromantic pact can supply energy to barrier invocation, its because barrier invocation having 0 limit on fast it can be cast again once sufficient energy is provided.

So you think you stopped the interaction so CWDT build with barrier invocation is dead, and you stopped burning inscription able to provide energy and CoI build is dead.

But nerfing Burning Inscription wont kill CoI builds, as the true issue of all meta skills is not solved, killing burning inscription just force player to use another source to generate ignite, and because there are absolutely 0 limits on cast rate of meta skills, CoI or other meta skills will still be op. i mean, who the hell cares about the reduced energy gain? its only 200 comets per second or 100 comets per second, as 100 comets per second is still more than enough for current content

So, although as the person who created the BI-loop CWDT build i wished the build get nerfed, i'd be even fine if you say BI cannot be triggered faster than 1 cast per second or something like that, i'll then be happy and go find other combinations or skill synergies. But all i see from the PN is what i have done really annoyed devs as all the nerfs on meta skill seemly targeting BI. no more pyromantic pact energy supply, halved energy generation, so now you need 10 es for 1 energy, meaning for a single cast of comet, it need to take about 2890 damage on ES with lv18 qual 20% BI instead of 1445 before the patch. And what people get is a single comet cast without casting time, but still delayed because comet need time to fall from the sky. the cost for this instant cast of comet is now : 60 less spirit for other gems, 1 less slotable support gem, not able to be echoed. so whats the point of use barrier invocation? do we have anything scenario that this 60 spirit, 1 less support gem worth it for able to cast a spell without casting animation?

Apparently you still haven't understood the CWDT. Or he didn't read the changes carefully. The damage itself no longer generates energy at all. The very mechanics of the CWDT are destroyed. They cannot lead to a balance. The only thing they can do is completely destroy

The Specialities of some Maps have been adjusted to account for the addition of Azmerian Spirits.
