2.0.0g Patch Notes

[li]Stygian Revenants now fire three lightning projectiles (down from five), and deal 30% less damage with them. Their revived minions now explode for 20% less damage. These monsters were extremely efficient at killing players. This purpose of this change is to prevent mass extinction of exiles, rather than to nerf them as spectres.[/li]

In this thread: People jumping on the OP Revenant spectre bandwagon butthurt when the obvious and inevitable nerf comes.

The truth is they were doing just too much damage as they scaled in mob level into maps, not that they specifically did too much damage in a4m (though they STILL did damage that was out of order compared to other mobs, and even some bosses).

Changes to revenants are a joke, I'm sorry. One part of the patch says 'We want to leave Merc real hard because it is optional, another part says 'This is not a nerf to spectres,' and yet, that is exactly what it is. Why not leave them the same in merc? The ones people are grabbing for spectres are part of that ultra hard optional content you mentioned a few lines up. It's frustrating as hell to invest a couple of weeks into something only to have it broken, you should have done a better job balancing in beta, rather than waiting until after many people had invested a significant amount of time.

It is your game, and if you think it is what is best for it, so be it. That said, since it is literally the only thing you changed in Merciless difficulty, I don't think it is asking too much for you to be honest about the intention.

Well said. I was gonna grab another supporter pack but I think I'll now pass as I don't see myself starting a new character. I knew I was going to regret not going SRS :/

The lightning beam on the first stage of the fight no longer shocks on Cruel difficulty.
