TBC Warlock tears, this comes close. And is likewise justified. Lightning Thorns is bollocks. The main difference is that now EVERYONE feels that way, not just melee.

I don't think you read a word I said. I have capped resist already, and 3000 hp, and firing a single shot with Frenzy hits me for nearly half my HP. If I fire a split arrow, I die IMMEDIATELY.
And it's actually worse on ranged than on melee -- as melee, you could potentially leap slam to the casters and beat them up instead, but if you're ranged and in a tight corridor like a Tunnel map with the blackguards in the back, there is NO WAY to hit them without dying. You just have to give up your map.
Ironically, melee now has it better vs LT than ranged does.
But I'm not the only one complaining; my marauder buddy with 6500 hp and 81% lightning res says he still takes insane damage from just one ground slam. Clearly this ability is out of whack.
i too fas fo youuuuuuu

I have yet to run into the new lightning thorns on my EK Shadow, but I imagine I'm going to be using bear traps alot.

Countless quotes could be dug up telling melee to "get over it" or "get better". It seems that once the shoe is on the other foot however it is suddenly can not be overcome by the very methods melee were told to cultivate to get past them.
Humorously, with the damage reduced. They bother me MUCH less now than they did. And yet that reduced damage is enough to have the ranged folk crying foul. How do you think it felt with shield chargers, and the higher damage on us face to face?

I must say, reading the first few pages of this thread then reading the last few is pretty hilarious. I wonder if any of the ranged characters complaining about it now were the same ones telling melees they were noobs for not knowing how to mitigate it before it affected ranged (and did more damage).

PLEASE READ MY POSTS BEFORE POSTING USELESS CRAP!
I have CAPPED LIGHTNING RESIST, and I have CAPPED LIFE LEECH and a LEVEL 19 LIFE ON HIT GEM!
NONE OF THAT MATTERS!
I'm tired of repeating it for you only to ignore it!
Anyway, keep bumping this thread, maybe GGG will see and realize there's a problem!

A jolly good suggestion my dear sir, it just doesn't do to blindly charge and spam your skills, you need tactics. I will suggest rain of arrows or rat poison as especially effective witch-killers.
Or... maybe just remove your chained-mp'd lightning and cold arrows from hotbar as I do with cyclone.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

the changes sucks. one of the few challenging mobs in the game, and they nerf em... and those rumors 6500hp, 80 resists,... getiin one shoted, are bullshit. i have 5.5k 10k dps sinlge target and 7k dps cleave, how can i tank 2-3 even 4 with thorns on em? and that was before the last patch, now me and me friends dont even mind em. GGG shouldnt listen to all the crying.
ohh and when i saw the changelog, i was 100% sure the first thing ill see about the thorns, will be ranged crying about em. and now they are even nerfed!
