This is why you don't invest all your currency into one build. :D Can't wait.
I didn't, invested it into 2. Both get nerfed. So yeah, great work GGG /s.
Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

They nerfed arctic breath back into vendor trash (-20%), but buffed ice spear to do nearly double damage. Probably isn't even worth using on cast on crit builds anymore, which is probably the only use it had to begin with.
If they aren't going to allow the spell to do any useful damage, and is inferior to ice spear in every way then they should just trash it.

You missed that cast time went from 1 sec to 0.8, it's the same treatment EK got: Lower damage, faster casting. Making it worse for CoC, not much change for self casters.
+1 damage every 5 casts compared to 4 casts now, seems odd to take away the only case where it was usable.

No, it's not odd to make self casting spells be on par with CoC.
It has nothing to do with lacking damage of Arctic Breath that it isn't used much, more with the ground travelling mechanic that makes it explode at every obstacle. Nevertheless it is far from being unusable now, and after the patch as well. Compared to Ice Spear it still has higher base dps, a small AoE, and ground ice.

Actually has someone checked higher levels of Arctic Breath? Like Frost Nova it might have gotten higher damage at higher levels, because most of the frost-spells are fairly potent early on already.

Why there's no Critical weakness on Garena wiki? Just wonder how much it has been nerfed.

TW Wiki states for level 20 the damage 374-561 with cast speed 0.8sec, that would be ~584.4 dps. Currently we have 467-701 with cast speed 1sec, which makes exactly 584 dps.

Rumor is it is renamed to Assassin's Mark, see e.g. this thread.

warlords mark: gives endurance charges on kill, leech and maybe will give something else next patch
assasins mark: ( http://i.imgur.com/au5R7LT.jpg) gives power charges on kill, life/mana on kill and crit
poachers mark: I am predicting will give frenzy charges on kill, life/mana on hit and some sort of ranged bonus?

Oh wow. My first two PoE chars were Ice Spear self-casters. And they both sucked majorly. If these buffs are true, I might just come back to play this game again.

Any change to Incinerate, other than the (presumed) reduced mana cost?

Other than mana cost no change, on level 20 it's 9 mana/cast, currently we have 11 mana/cast. About 18% reduced mana cost.

No change except mana cost, at level 20 from 15 mana/attack to 12 mana/attack, 20% reduced mana cost.
Both values taken from that PoETW site. No guarantee for accuracy. ;)
