That is disappointing, this rlly looks like something half done, something made in last month or so.
This content don't offer real balance, no real fixes, no new maps from content, what is this 3 month league to paly again 1-60 again and again to enjoy new mobs/bosses?
No tnx, will wait till something more polished.
Wildstar I comming you back.

This release was about adding SIX NEW ACTS and making it a COMPLETE single play-through game up until maps start. I can understand why balancing and new mechanics aren't as polished as we'd like. Now that we have achieved Ten Acts, I'm sure much of future expansions will concentrate on adding end-game content and further balancing / steering the meta in a good direction (the optimistic view).

am i missing something or is barrage actually untouched?

and fuck path of strand, im gonna run fkn spider forest and stuff before i die of boredom :D

Hand of Wisdom And Action: No longer adds 1-6 Lightning damage to Attacks per 10 Intelligence. Now grants 1-10 lightning damage added to attacks with this weapon per 10 Intelligence.


is this a buff or a nerff? this lightning damage scales like before or not?

It's time to uninstall this shit from your computer.

Well it's called now "WITH THIS WEAPON"... it sounds very different to plain "to attacks"

"The average experience per monster has been slightly reduced at high levels."

I am very much against this one. It has already been very tedious to map after level 90+ and it has only become more boring. I was actually expecting an increase on XP at T12+ maps for more incentive.

Don't take this out of context, mob density has also been reviewed on maps, I'd say most red maps will have buffed density, this would cause a spike in XP/h

My favorite was - Porcupine Goliaths 70% chance to release spikes instead of 100. Love it :)

Let's hope you are right. What I read is "Further balanced the monster density of end-game maps. Some have been lowered and some have been raised."

My guess they raised maze-like maps monster density and lowered more open maps. A flat density buff will be much appreciated though. Will increase the tempo and feel more rewarding.

GGG said "Further balanced the monster density of end-game maps. Some have been lowered and some have been raised."
We don't know if it is a nerf or a buff.
We don't know which maps will benefit of higher density

Wow GGG completely killed "Soulthirst" unique belt in the process without counter buffing it at all :D

I agree that Soul Eater would be OP for general mapping with the new MoM changes - seems like a sneaky hotfix.


After reading the patch nodes... I guess shaped strand meta again... hmm

I'm wondering what will happen to existing prophecies.

Let's say I have a sealed "Severed Limbs" Prophecy on Standard, which requires me to kill a Hammerstorm with Limbsplit. Assuming the monster required to fulfil this prophecy is going to change, will I still be able to fulfil this Prophecy by killing Hammerstorm in 3.0 (basically a legacy prophecy) OR is it going to get updated automatically OR will it become completely unusable?

Got a bunch of seales Prophecies lying around and I just wanna know if there's any risk I won't be able to complete them post-3.0.

It is a pity that there are no new maps based on tilesets from A5, but I understand that this will require atlas changes as well. Hope GGG will add new maps in future.
