BV actually got buffed if you do the math. People are just whining at this point.

seemsgucci Kappa Prada. meta goes even strong than before. because B - Balance

Everytime people complain about the balance because it usually nerfs the op builds. But what I keep in mind is that while Breach patch ain't gonna change the game that much, the 3.0 expansion coming next year will be the real gamechanging patch and there I expect to see a better balance of the skills, monsters, ascendancy and all. I also believe there will be some greater balance to life x ES on 3.0 and I expect that these generic changes on 2.5 are intended to be smaller in order to focus on a greater rebalance on 3.0

Cast While Channeling sounds cool, but given the many nerfs to Cast on Crit, Cospri's Malice, Mjölner and so on, I wonder if adding it is wise. Will it be the next in line for nerf after nerf?

New Hellion model hype!

From a balance standpoint, this patch is a weird one. You found the time to buff golems and totems, but there were no changes to the Scion's ascendancy, no buffs to underused skills (especially melee) and in general I'm really not sure how much will change.

Maybe I'm just salty because I wanted to use Cospri's Malice for Breach league. :(

my floor is going wet right now. LOL

just let me guess 3.0 patch note: "blade vortex damage increased due to balance"

The actual nerf is that on flasks and on the way the skill works. Now BV is back to stack 50 casts which means duration nodes / gems and more time to clear the map. Also the OP PF flask sustainance has been significantly reduced, so Taste of Hate, Rumi's, Vessel of Vinktar, that sweet combo is not that available throug the entire bossfights anymore.

I believe it's a fair way to nerf that but don't think the limitation to recharge only one flask is that good, cause that really hurt a flask combo and anyone using surgeon flasks that were not Pathfinders. Also, with this PF remains strong since the node which grants immunity to elemental effects allows the use of Vinktar by itself, without the need of a grounding flask, which means that you won't split the charges generated by crits with other flasks. And other classes can't recover Vinktar's with crits so...yeah, it's a nerf for PF but it hurts other classes much more. I believe that flasks really need a rework at this point. Maybe on 3.0.

To those saying ES needs a nerf... hell no! Life should get buffed. The only thing ES has going for it is that it can tank the 1-shots, on everything else life is far superior.

None of this "far superior" things that life has matter, when you are dead to 1 normal melee hit from boss. Because you know, this game has to be hard, and what better way is there than overtuning monster damage!
