We have been hit from every possible direction, here's a quick recap:
- All auras except clarity to 60% mana reserved (mana reservation passives added, which will be required and will take skill points away, thus reducing other stats)
- Reduced area coverage of Sparks, reducing effectiveness
- 30% less damage multiplier on RF (HUGE NURF!!11!1)
- 10% less damage from totems (but again, totem damage nodes added so even more skill points needed to keep up status quo)
- Shock stacks nerfed to 30%
- Curse effectiveness on Piety (and other Act bosses) highly reduced
- More base life per level (more burning damage from RF)
- Less max res bonus from Purity aura
- Shavronne total ES nerfed (if you don't happen to have a legacy one)
- Shavronne won't drop outside maps anymore (so either buy it or no maps ever)
- IIQ and IIR diminishing return slightly increased
- Magic find effectiveness biased toward parties instead of solo (i don't understand this one)
- Wondertrap movement speed reduced

And i'm sure i'm leaving something behind.

The only thing i could read on the patch notes which could benefit us is the notable passive that makes Light Radius based on ES instead of life.

Really, i liked this build as long as i could, but the odds are it has come to an end.

Or, at very least, there will be no way to get it on par to what it's now

Bye

Of course you can survive this. It's fairly easy to run this build again with just two auras and two certain unique items that are absolutely required now (shavs ring + chayula) as well as some easy to figure out changes to the passive tree.

Why would you, however? Without IIQ you need less focus on MF stats on items and can go full dps route, something this build is horrible at. 4k dps or 6k with this build is nothing compared to 100k+ of others.

I know exactly what I'll do in the new league and can see myself getting filthy rich. :) Doing some final theorycrafting in the next 24 hours and should be good to go. Gl!

Are those changes true or is that just a joke? If yes this mf build makes no more sense to play :/
