Vaal Pact no longer penalizes the amount of life Leeched, it will now apply 100% of life leeched instantly, while still not allowing Life Regeneration.

ACUITY??????????????????????

Not amended yet. Once we have tested Leech generally, we'll adjust Acuity.

The same way it got nerfed? regardless of the changes it would mess with corrupted acuities that cannot be updated.

GGG, spell rolls on staves will continue to be simply unwanted stats until they are made significantly stronger. Right now, a well rolled wand and shield, or two wands is simply better than one staff.

And again with the "early July"?

You cannot release unbalanced, brand new content the same week you put the game on live guys. Just stop saying early july. Just say mid july.

Wow a buff to already extremely OP and over-used Arc, and a nerf to an already under-used and under-powered ball lightning.

90% of all witches in arena are arc witches already. What the hell?

Malicious adds (47 to 72) - (98 to 123) Chaos Damage to the weapon's damage and can appear on One Handed Weapons (83)
Malicious adds (70 to 108) - (147 to 185) Chaos Damage to the weapon's damage and can appear on Two Handed Weapons (83)

Does that mean it's better to go dual wield for 246 flat chaos damage rather than 186 for 2hander?
I'm not sure about the maths here.

? People used ball lightning a lot in the beta.

So if I am reading this correctly, CI either just got a significant (but needed) buff by becoming immune to elemental status effects or fucked royally (since dmg would always exceed the equivalent of 100 percent life).

Can we get some clarification on this?

Is it how much damage is actually lost or damage as compared to life?

If around 1 july another patch with wipe I dont think so release is possible in early july. More like half or end of the month.
