ondar guile will now provide evade to melee ?

or i misunderstanded ?

if so, good :)

Buff nodes will be rather OP since the jewel sys could provide buffs.

Good to hear that Armour will be adjusted

Reading it wrong, you gain more vs projects and LOSS some towards melee....common now, when does GGG ever buff anything, should of been a dead give away...nerfs is what they specialize in.

boring.

sad about nerf buff nodes

i want betaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wouldn't mind seeing more experimentation with the Dodge mechanic of Acro. Hopefully we'll see a Block -> Dodge unique jewel (without the need for a shield).

Won't there be a huge wave of invites to start with or is it just one player every 5min, plus the selected players? Going to be a empty server to start with then.

And huge changes, really game changing. All builds needs to be redone. Some won't work anymore and many new will appear. Looking pretty sweet to me.

Well I was hyped about 2.0 act 4 and testing but until I get to play we wont know for sure how bad casters have been wrecked. I recall patch 1.3 all the hype how casters were getting reworked and buffed now your changing it that's silly. Ive spent a grip on my lvl 94 low life incinerate buffed with RF and broken a very decent dps for what ive payed in currency. You guys take out inner force and low life casters buffed with RF is looking like its gone and were just normal low dps shit casters. I really hope with the balancing that low life RF is still possiblt was already really close hitting a solid 91% fire cap and enough vitality to run rf. my only complaint at this point is...if you guys drop buff nodes and don't make it so builds like mine can function then ive spent hundreds of ex for nothing but and over priced shit dps caster... look forward the new content but deff worried you guys just ripped my super end game build...

Rip Ondars. The last thing any evade character wants is less chance to evade.

Pretty incredible stuff coming. Maybe the worst thing for me so far is change to EB. Now it'll be much harder to get a viable mana pool/regen for things like AA and MoM. In fact, at this point based on what we know to expect in beta, I can say going for AA/MoM is 100% not worth it right now. Of course there's stuff on tree we don't know yet, so maybe there is some better/more-integrated access to mana nodes which will make that loss of EB functionality easier to digest.

SO, to be clear you decided to

- kill all casters
- make all monsters more "scarier"
- not improve melee at all
- destroy all shotgunning in the game

I'm confused on exactly what GGG are expecting. If I get into the beta, I'll be reporting on bow builds, because that's all anybody is likely to have any interest in.
