I agree, fuck clear speed meta. You know how i deal with it? I don't play that way. But I'm also not obsessed with my position on the ladder. I have no interest in comparing my clear speed with someone else. I'm faster than many, and slower than many more. BUT IDGAF.

Your inability to think as clearly as I do is remarkable, maybe a skill of its own. I don't play clearspeed builds, but that doesn't mean the game isn't built around clear speed out of fucking nowhere. This game used to be about making a build good enough to survive, now it's "If my build can't clear Shaper's Realm in 30 seconds, it's trash!!!!" Ladder has nothing to do with this, I was just talking about the direction of the game lmao

As for pathfinder, all I said was she was the girlfriend class, and it's because of alarmingly powerful flasks, which require no real luck when rolling, and some of her Ascendant passives. Don't know why you brought Vigilant Strike into the argument, unless it was your way of trying to frame the argument...

Shaper should never be steamrolled, but not impossible to kill without being a meta-whore. That's the gist of what I was saying really.

Don't get me wrong, I like feeling powerful, and like my efforts to make a good character have paid off, but fuck. You want to feel overpowered, then go play D3. Just nerf the OP flasks and buff some old, useless ones like Rotgut or Sorrow of the Divine. Don't know why everyone's shitting their pants over flasks being nerfed, it's like when everyone thought block was being overnerfed lmao

Anyway that's all. I'm fucking tired, don't feel like arguing my point THAT much. I support the nerfs, none of you have to like it, blah blah.

Changes to various maps, mostly around addressing the current meta. We want to see different shaping strategies in use, and at the very least not the "shaped strand meta".
