so basically what im hearing this is...

omg i used to play a sparker, a real sparker, not a totem bs spammer, i actually casted my sparks, and they nerfed it to the ground, they are completely useless now, crit rate is a joke, shock dmg inc a joke to...


GGG has allways killd collateral builds with their nerfs, it is not fair, but it isn´t new and it wont be undone...


btw if concentrated effect isnt working try elemental proliferation to, fireball for example doesnt increase the main impact target´s dmg, but concentrated effect increases dmg on the rest, if it ignite for higher values, then proliferation should work with it.


also anyone talking bs of how viper strike can reach the old values, or somehow is better now pls tell me.
how can i get 400 % increased damage ?


Yes, I understand, no matter what, even if they kill off many builds through collateral damage, it would seem to me they do not care, otherwise they might actually be more aware in their re-balancing of skills. I don't know man, in a game that seems to be so built on by the community such as build making and creativity, it really saddens me that GGG would not even think to carefully realize the problem at hand, and instead decides to kill everything else.

The game is truly great, and I do see it becoming more popular in the future, however, sometimes I feel as if GGG does not care whether or not they kill even the creative, fun builds made by their own supporting community and players.
I personally think this was one of the worst patch GGG has made so far.
Nerfing all the average (some below average) dps builds but somewhat different
from the popular builds. They need to invest heavy amount of currency and buy
good gears and invest heavy skill points to reach the same amount of dps
before the nerf. It'll cripple their survivability with no dps gain.

Whatever GGG was thinking was so wrong. I haven't heard anything good about this
patch from the players that were using DoT builds around me. Good thing for me
I just use the normal Double strike build so I'm all good with the large maps now.
But feel like there is no room for special builds now as more and more nerfs are
happening EVERY SINGLE PATCH. I thought this DoT patch was going to be a buff for them not
nerf. If you wanted to nerf Discharge, why not change just the gem itself?

One thing i learned is never be creative with this game. Just follow what the
other 99% are playing and copy their succesive builds.

This. GGG wants the game to be diverse (supposedly) and given the flexible skill system, you could make different things that would appeal to your builds. However, all they manage to do every time and prove so is completely crush the creativity of others. Majority of it isn't even overpowered and as claimed by another player, you destroy all the hard work they've put forth in your game(Some of these are even your supporters man). Hardly seems fair.

If it is GGG intentions to just crush every decent build for anyone, then they might as well just remove majority of the skill grid, gems, and items so that only the most popular, untouched are left.
Hey, yeah the change to the DoT is pretty nose. I was reading the patch notes but when I saw the nerf I got poop on my nipples and had to clean it off. I play a Viper Strike Witch build which is going to be almost impossible to use after this patch.
They should have nerfed the base damage of discharge rather than burning damage if they wanted to target only that build.
I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.
Is it just me or do a lot of John's have big noses?
I hope we get some sort of response about this issue
This thread feels very much like the complaints about auras, except that for viper strike, I'm not sure what you could get to improve its damage.
