Rangers are still broken so i can't play them. My witch is nerfed as hell and i cant respec to fire/frost/summoner cuz respec are not in the patch. Man...:)

Just for your information - look at this screenshot: http://www.grindinggear.com/sept4hc.png
It's a result of 3 hour hardcore ladder race. Good players even on hardcore, without any prearranged equipment could reach 27 lvl in 3 hours.
So i don't see it's a big problem to level up new character, at least up to 30 lvl.

Nice changes! Good job :D

Looking forward for next patches.

I agree that nova's damage nerf is harsh, even the damage nerf for bow monsters is big.

Maybe I missed it, but I wish that bosses, special monsters will drop better equipment. :)

Maybe you've never played a marauder .. or a duelist.. Shock Nova was too sick imbalanced and it it a very welcome change to nerf it down. Its not normal and not developed to kill the whole screen with 1-2 shock novas within 1-2 sec, while a marauder needs for the same amount of mobs 1-2 min of hard kiting work.

And, btw., a lightning witch does still enough dmg. At least mine does.

@Chris & Devs: Guys, I forgot to thank you all for the amazing work and to motivate you to keep it on. I will pay you money if you gief me content to buy :)

Now it's patch 9.2. Rangers are still broken so i can't play them. My witch is nerfed as hell and i cant respec to fire/frost/summoner cuz respec are not in the patch. Man...:)

I will agree, the ranger issue is still there.

However, as far as your witch issue: Shock Nova could be nerfed FURTHER and still be significantly more damage than your "fire/frost/summoner." I'm sorry you feel incredibly nerfed, but the truth is even with the nerf that single skill is significantly stronger than any other skill. Heck, the Ice Nova was *buffed* and is *still* lower damage and smaller range than Shock Nova.

Anybody can rightly be disheartened by nerfs, but lightning witches don't have anything to worry about. They are still playing an extremely powerful character.

That "great".

Been playing ranger as my main, finally stopped cuz that was a terrible experience.

Made a witch to chill and try someting else, been playing fire in all games, but since fire wasn't really working and nova was a way to go, i went for that, just to be viable in chaos and gather some orbs for my ranger when it's balanced.

Now it's patch 9.2. Rangers are still broken so i can't play them. My witch is nerfed as hell and i cant respec to fire/frost/summoner cuz respec are not in the patch. Man...:)

Are you playing a melee ranger? Bow rangers are amazing. They've been pretty amazing for all 67 lvls I've played. Evasion sucks, yes, and you get punished for laziness or lag pretty hard, but otherwise it's fantastic. Your DPS is 2nd only to nova witches (and after the huge nerf....maybe the best in the game?)

This. Although Nova's probably still king IMO.

These curses sound very interesting, but something I am wondering is do the monsters have access to these new attacks added in 0.9.2 as well?
