Capping Raging Spirit at 20 is a significant damage reduction, even if individual spirits have slightly increased damage.

Capped Raging Spirits = significantly fewer minions delivering multiple damage auras.

In the past, it was very difficult to get more than 25 spirits out at a time even with vaal haste up. If the spirits do enough dmg, then it shouldn't be a problem. Stun lock enemies is cool too. Hatred aura is the dmg aura most players use to buff SRS, so that shouldnt be an issue as well. At least our frame rates wont spike that badly.

My 2 cents.

What version was this? I'm not exactly a competent player but even I easily hit the 50 spirit cap in the last 5ish leagues.

I found the challenge to be keeping 30+ spirits up whilst running around dodging mechanics and/or adds that those spirits decided to ignore.

I'm allowed to spend more than 2 minutes per map? Na, your joking...
Hard to accept, right?

Can't spend more than 2 minutes a map if you're going to hit the 10K map tiers challenge. If GGG doesn't want to emphasize extremely high speed, they maybe shouldn't build the challenge and leveling system around that. :-)

For MTX purposes you are allowed to skip 4 of these challenges, if you lack sufficient time, skip the drawn out grind's. People leveled just fine prior to this 'clear speed meta' people seem to think is necessary. If they were emphasizing high speed the challenge would be time based, not quantity. Your reasoning is not accepted I'm afraid.

If you understood anything at all about game design, you would understand that some things need to be implemented, such as that challenge, to give the (excuse the term) 'no-lifers' something to aim for. No-one playing a few hours every few days (most of the player base) would even achieve that at 2mins per map. 667 t15maps + currency farming time etc, no.
However, people playing 12h+ hours a day, of which the challenge is aimed at, will have no problem completing 7-8 t15 equivalent maps per day of the league, even if they took 1 hour each.

Again, nothing more than unjustified, illogical reasoning for your point of view.

GGG WHY YOU NO FIX DOMINATING BLOW :(

All that shitstorm... Patch is good, lots of new stuff, and nerfs aren't really that big of a deal. It's not like it ruins the build, it just makes it slightly less good (except wormblaster, which got fucked, but deserved it ^^).

To all saying the "fun" of the game is facerolling the content, consider that it's fun because you've previously played builds that didn't, and that gave you a sense of accomplishment ("i could've never done that with my old build") but if the game is just balanced around letting players do whatever and facerolling anything forever, you'd be just bored of it and looking for a new game. The meta changes are what's keeping the interest. What's going to be the next great thing?

Also, not to be an ass but the game is mostly designed around temp leagues. That's just a fact (and number wise, they have more people playing the game and engaging with the content in temp leagues). That's why they do those big number and mechanics tweaks between those leagues. You have to expect it.

I was curious as to the 4 second cooldown on decoy totem. That is a really long cooldown. Is there a way to bypass, or reduce this at all?

How can you buff Raider and not Scioin Raider ascendency ? o0

No-one here is quitting. You don't have the mental restraint to stop yourself spouting drivel. Therefore, you can't stop yourself logging on to get that fix of psuedo-accomplishment your pathetic lives so desperately need.

Quit crying on a forum about nerfs to abilities that trivialize content.

No, you're right, no one is quitting. And they should not : they should log and play every day, not spending a penny on the game anymore, ever, just putting server stress on the game so that in the end GGG gets even more problems maintaining them in an acceptable condition, that would make them feel good to know they can contribute improving the game experience for elite members of the community, like you.

You cannot turn off shadows in the graphics settings in 64bit!(((
On older graphics cards with the shadows is difficult to understand how 64bit client better
