Seriously though, I can only assume this change is one of two possibilities.

1) This is coming from one person who makes a blanket decision which ruins it for everyone else

2) This is a server cost calculation savings.

For every person trying to activate a skill on left click, while it is in use or on cooldown, probably requires a server action in of itself. That takes time to calculate "hey, I can't do this yet"

Given that the fact of "moving" with left click generally sends like 4 ticks per second, that's roughly once every 250ms.

Multiply that by say, 85% of the player base, and you get a very large number.


Yet the argument comes into play, this was fine for how many years?

Why is this change being made now, with no explanation whatsoever?

I'm feeling like I might be the only player who benefited from this change (or figured out how to benefit). Now I have both Steelskin and Blood Rage automatically activated. I had the links free and I am happy...so there is one of us who is happy.

Steelskin was usually bound to CWDT which itself costs a gem slot. Blood rage was usually a one-and-done manual cast by itself as a standalone gem.

So now you have steelskin linked to call to arms instead of CWDT and the change to blood rage is net zero for you.

I guess the call to arms method lets you use a max steelskin instead of gimping its level down to work with a low level CWDT.

Anyways, for many builds, you now need both call to arms linkages in one place and CWDT linkages in another, so the socket pressure increases.

Everything is fine in this change as long as you don't play melee, which I assume is intended at this point.
