Recap of BotW/HotW Episodes and 1.3.0 Skill Tree Teaser

Revamping the tree again...sigh, better go screenshot all my shit! Leave the damn tree alone already, fuck!

Wait there are people playing PoE who think theorycrafting and build mapping every 6-9 months is a burdensome chore? I think you guys are in the wrong place; you were looking g for vanilla D3.

I've complained in the past that they made balance changes to frequently, but at that point they were mucking around with balance in-league. Usually that wasn't tree so much as gem balancing if I remember right, but this seems perfect to me. Let the league play out, add the next round of meta adaptations, and let it all play out over again.

I play standard because I just don't have the playtime to get a character up in the short leagues (my new character in std started this season only just hit 70 maps), and I love their current timeline for balancing adjustments.

I like the thaumaturgic symbolism. ⎊

i really hope they add staff and sceptre nodes to templar area...sceptres are just as good as daggers if they had the passives behind them.

new Keystone for templar plz!!!

When weilding a staff, increased spell damage and increased physical damage apply for eachother

Ever heard of ethereal knives? Are you asking for a free double up just because or something?

Not even worth it to think of any other problems with that sort of stat.

pls

I am interested in both trees, i plan to go marauder with slight visit to both trees, i hope the points spent will be somehow more effective than transition between Shadow and Witch.

Thank you so much for that great game. I enjoyed 1.2 very much. Did the lvl65 Achievement and have to say, that the Marauder was the most pain in the ass. I died 4 times at lvl64. No Joy whatever i tried. Nevertheless i found myself 2 week before the end of the league Maroi Erqi and played an Slammer up to 65. Was a bit boring. The most fun builds have been the Arc-Witch, my Lightning Scion with Tendrils, based on the arc-witch Build (died at lvl72 of stupid freeze from those blue frogs jumpin out of nowhere @Tropical Island), the Diarreha-Duellist (Molten Strike) and the Searing Bond Templar. Arround lvl 60 the tornadoshot Ranger starts to get funky, but i stopped at 65, before it was bit dull. The lack of a movement skill for bow skills is awkward. The Ethereal Knives Shadow was ok, the Flametotem Marauder died also at lvl63. Icewitch was extremely bad (in my case, maybe i missed something), Incinerate was good fun, but did not last long enough. The Lightning patch (1.2.4) has been the most fun for me ever. Looking forward to next hardcore season. Maybe i will get into the 80s for the first time. Skill to play next: Flameblast! Learnt this season: Surviving Cruel easily, getting into Merciless with whatever build i want to, planed and played my first own build and survived! So long! Thank you for many good hours and also for those moments when my bloodpressure has gone through the roof!

omg

I remember GGG saying something along the lines of "once the game goes to open beta there will be one character wipe and then that's it" ... whatever happened to that?

I've had to scrap numerous characters due to GGG wiping my passive trees, and to be honest it's getting old already.

Stop making such drastic changes to the tree, I can't take much more.

:(

It's fine with me.

The changes are generally not that drastic and allow for the game to evolve in ways it couldn't with a static tree. I'm curious, what builds were so drastically changed that you had to 'scrap' them?
