Patch Notes - 1.3.0 Patch Notes - Forum

Awesome Job. Now that Shield Charge no longer requires a melee weapon equipped, can we have it's damage scale with the defensive values on the shield? It seems like the skill is in a bad spot, having issues with desync, and suffering from the block chance nerf. However, i am looking forward to running a facebreaker shield charge build this upcoming league.

Ok, but you have to literally remove every other source of multiplier from the game for this to really make sense. Increased Critical Damage was a bottom tier damage support to begin with. " Increased Critical Strikes now starts at 90% critical strike chance, increasing to 147% at gem level 20. It now provides 1% critical strike chance per 1% of quality. Ok, but this is buffing the root source of the problem and making a support gem that's slightly weaker than Increased Critical Damage was. 90% of the game is hitting white monsters, ergo chance is more powerful than multiplier. More multiplier doesn't make things die faster in a vacuum, since you can't kill something in less than one hit. I was really surprised by the Crit multi nerf considering it was already heavily nerfed in the (1.2?) patch's passive tree. I honestly see this as a pure balance move for PvP, since most people would complain about possibly getting 1-shotted.	Posted by Korvay#0105 on Dec 11, 2014, 11:45:14 PM Quote this Post

Some nice changes all around. I'm a little concerned with the excessive attention PvP got this patch, I hope enough people are interested in it to make it worth the while! I was hoping for more attention to PvE personally.	Posted by Hrishi on Dec 11, 2014, 11:46:12 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

Since then, it basically became Path of Critanything and this game went from difficult to a glorified picnic. Now it's going to be challenging again. I'm damn excited.

I was super excited for this league, but now I'm not anymore :(	Posted by Dravox#4643 on Dec 11, 2014, 11:46:43 PM Quote this Post
Dem nerfs. Trying to balance the entirety of the game around pvp is just not attractive. I literally skipped reading any notes that had to do with pvp.	Posted by highwind123#5988 on Dec 11, 2014, 11:47:10 PM Quote this Post
