Snorkle I think you are wrong. The new 'tier 1' say for ammy, is going to be like 38% * 1.5 (or whatever the new value is) when divined, or from a drop. Mirrored/corrupted are bricked, so say a legacy crit multi of 70% stays as it is.

"

All sources of increased Critical Strike Multiplier have been changed to additional Critical Strike Multiplier. This change brings the functionality in line with how most players think it works.

Because of this, all items, passives and some skills/support gems that used to have increased Critical Strike Multiplier are now 33% less effective on players, despite having the same value. A number of these have been adjusted in value to maintain similar effectiveness.

The following have all been increased by approximately 50% for cases when they are on players, and 30% on monsters. For some cases, manual rounding has occurred: All values on the passive skill tree, Increased Critical Damage Support Gem, the Enfeeble Skill Gem and all uses of Enfeeble from monsters and other sources, all monsters with Powerful Crits, the Deadly map mod and the Corrupted jewel mod.

"

The following were not updated to new values: Maligaro's Virtuosity, all craftable item mods (non-jewel) and master-crafted mods.

"

Vessel of Vinktar has been reduced to 20% Life and Mana leech. It no longer grants "Leech applies instantly during Flask effect". It also consumes more charges when used, so you cannot use the flask twice per fill any more.

what makes you think the values on rare items are being increased by 50% to make up for the nerf?

so they say that ALL multi is getting nerfed. Then they say the following things are increased to make up for it, they list the passive tree values, crit damage support gem, enfeeble, powerful crits, deadly map mod and they corrupted jewel mod. I dont see them saying they are going to change the crit multi roll on rare items to be 50% more effective to make up for the nerf.

this is a bit eyebrow raising as to what exactly it means, but is this essentially listing everything that is not being increased and hence suffers the nerf?

"all non jewel craftable item mods" well every mod on a rare is craftable, so does that not mean every rare mod outside of jewels is not being updated to a +50% value, and is hence getting the nerf?

What were you thinking in the first place?

Creating a pretty much mandatory flask, then not outright nerfing it but waiting until end of the league.. ?!

I collected Agnerod staves which I wanted to trade in for the map in Standard after merge. Guess I can forget that, because the FUCKING FLASK has been utterly nerfhammered so only flippers can afford it now. (Not gonna pay 25ex for one now goddammit)

This legacy flask is mandatory and cannot drop in its form anymore. I see why Standard is not important balance-whise, but this is just sloppy. You should have been able to see, that this one stat is too useful to not have in the first place.

AND NERF IT RIGHT AWAY, in-midst of league, before a lot of people acquire that legacy flask.

This is the first time, I am really annoyed by some item going legacy. Never bothered before, but this is getting stupid..

Basically the new values for other items not specifically named, will be TBA as some put it, but it's a safe guess to assume ~50%.

Bladefall had a bug that caused its damage per volley reduction to apply too early, reducing the damage of the first four stages. This has been fixed, which has raised its damage. To compensate, Bladefall's damage has been reduced by 25% at all levels
So if i get this right,it did less damage that what you designed it to do due to a bug and when you fixed the bug you nerfed the skill cause it did the damage you designed it to do at the first place?
