Did they just nerf IB in 1.0.2b with the Melee Splash change?

I'm unsure about it, the change is probably for the new dots. Seems lots of people are asking the question though, let's hope GGG makes it more clear.

Hey,

I've been using the build and it's been going well so far. I'm starting to struggle now and I'm only doing lvl 68-69 maps. I'm lvl 80 and my build is the same as your lvl 80 build.

This is my gear:


Could you give some advice please as to what I should replace next? I know my belt is bad but I don't think it would make that much difference? I've been saving for the shield and boots but thinking I might spend some on a better weapon first.

Thanks for any help.

I think your weapon is fine. Your hp must be quite low I think. I'm also running this build I never really had some big issues. Where are you struggling? As long as you dont have an aegis aurora id recommend to go for high armor on your shield, since it scales really nice.

If you ask me id say, upgrade your shield for higher armor, if you are not close to aegis. I'd definitly upgrade the belt, aswell as the boots. There is also the option, that you could try to get some intelligence on your gear, like you have it on your helmet, so you can level your enfeeble to a higher level for dangerous situations. The weapon, armor, vortex band, gloves, helmet and amulet are good right now.

Maybe you can leave some numbers in here like resists, if dps, hs dps(you should try to get a 4L for it, melee phys really skyrockets the dmg), hp and armor.

cya

edit: my gear if you want to compare it, since i dont run aegis aurora atm

How do you feel about fire pen rather than melee physical? It scales up the explosion, and although my tooltip DPS seems lower, I feel like I've been doing about the same damage on-hit.
When I finally get a 5l I'm considering just adding weapon ele and completely ignoring melee.
