General Discussion - Preliminary 0.9.4 Patch Notes - Forum

" Mark_GGG wrote: The point is that for a character with a high enough energy shield, but low life, chaos damage is the only thing they really need to worry about. A high ES low life caster is dead anyway from other damage if they lose all their shield in most situations, so there's not much change there. But chaos damage would bypass the shield and kill them very quickly, and this passive prevents that, as well as increasing their shield to boot. It may turn out to be not good enough, but I think you're undervaluing it a bit there. Thanks for the clear-up. I just posted that I'm new to the game, so I wasn't clear about the use. That makes a lot more sense, and in that case, the passive doesn't seem too underpowered. Time may tell, but thanks for clearing that up.

"There's now a limit of one curse per enemy. The most recently cast one overwrites any existing ones. This is necessary because curses are very powerful and their abuse was making most high level play too easy. There will be ways soon to increase this per-monster limit." ^ This This is the worst possible thing, that is going to hurt the marauder class, more than any other. seriously guys Am currently level 75, and for the whole time playing, have been reliant on FOUR curses, just to survive, and be able to continue playing at current or higher difficulties. -Temporal chains, without it you get freaking swarmed, and are dead, without having chance to fight, or move away from the massive mobs. Use of only this curse, means sure i can survive, but will be able to SLOWLY kill enemy, if at all. -Vulnerability, Without its use, melee damage hardly hurts these monsters in merciless, and chaos level, and without being in pair with above temp chains, is useless, as i would be swarmed and dead. -WARLORDS MARK, this is staple , is necessary for use to keep mana/HP up, Flasks do not do the job, and do not fill up fast enough on their own. -Crit weakness, for non crit based build, this curse is very heavily depended upon, to be able to do any significant damage versus blue / yellow boss. I really hope this ' one curse' at a time thing ,is rethought. This is bad. The one real good thing that many classes had going for them in positive way, was the ability to stack curses. I am not sure who said that they need to be nerfed / toned down, but it is terrible decision that been made.

I'd say your post belongs more-so in the beta thread, not here. I complained about this in the alpha forum, and new that people would have issues with it. I think it could overall be a good idea, but it should be limited to [per monster] per player, as opposed to just per monster. Fresh cakes for all occasions.

While I'd prefer to discuss this in the Beta forum, I'm pretty confidant that the improvements to the Marauder in this patch will make up for having to rely on the (initially unintended) stacking of curses! Having said that, the point of the Beta is to get feedback, so I am very keen for you to test your character in 0.9.4 and let me know what it's like now. Lead Developer.

You were supposed to get stats on off-stats gear ,like ranger dex equipment to get STR stat from it in order to wear some gems/gear. Tell me what for STR/DEX/INT gear character need more STR/DEX/INT respectively ,its mostly useless for them. This change is just fail. " Prevented projectile speed mods from spawning on anything except ranged weapons and quivers. Just remove the mod ,its useless in current state of game. There is many other mods that didnt need change and reduce the whole point of "random" mods and variety of builds you can make on your character.

Amazing patch! Can't wait to try the new passives, they seem a really interesting add to the passive tree. Must say that when I got invited to the beta in late september I found it quite a flat game. With the changes over the last month the quality of the gameplay has improved substancially, so congratulations and keep up the good work! Just a couple of questions. You recently tonned down the corpse explosion like effects a bit, so I guess you felt they were too powerful, and now you introduce a passive dealing 200% damage? Don't get me wrong, I really like it and think could help single target toons greatly, just seems a bit overpowered in theory. Regarding Armour Master, could you explain what kind of penalties come with armour? Sorry if this doesn't belong here I'll understand. Hope the Avatar of Fire is near the Templar nodes or another elemental avatar is added in the future there!	Posted by Peppers#0581 on Dec 2, 2011, 6:37:20 AM Quote this Post
