If you're strapped for time and can't do a video with voice-over talking about the changes, a single image as in the Bestiary announcement or something as simple as just text is significantly more suited for comparison and reflection. GGG said (a few times) that this was a quick way to get the announcement out faster while they work on the actual 2d graphics etc for it as it was taking a while.

Cool to see every ascendancy gets its unique playstyle. Any ideas if the skill tree's getting an updates too? I kinda liked when it used to get changes every league, we used to theorycraft alot more back then, even thought we've alot more tools now(hi PoB!) Lost in the deep end.

Looks awesome. Hierophant tri/quad totem FINALLY looks good. Was about time! New assassin looks beautiful, 0% defensive options tho, but it's fine i guess because assassin is meant to have lots of damage and crit, ok! Guardian I couldn't see any big changes, but I'm happy he still almost the same. In my opinion is a solid class both for HC or SC. Doesn't hurt keep him the same. Again, very good job here. :) PS: Slayer isn't broken, the problem is leech is dead after vaal pact nerf. Maybe you should fix vaal pact ( triple life leech rate instead of double ) instead of nerfing slayer once again. You nerfed vaal pact so hard and placed it on duelist tree side, no wonder why there is only 1 single class in the game using vaal pact and he's slayer. My end, it justifies my means, All I ever do is delay, My every attempt to evade, The end of the road And my end....

Wait. Am I reading that correctly? Is GGG BUFFING weaker game elements to match stronger options instead of nerfing strong options into the ground??? Like this quote about potential Slayer rebalance: " An example is the Slayer, where his leech abilities are so strong relative to regular leech in the core game. We're discussing options like improving regular leech in the future so that his leech is not so powerful in comparison. I'm liking this GGG! I hope it sticks around!

Those are literally the 2 biggest killers for glass cannons. (bosses and reflect dmg)	Posted by KaseyM21#1589 on Feb 20, 2018, 10:05:34 PM Quote this Post

Noob question: Does my golem walking around with me broke the "only nearby enemy"? I'm always confused with this status. My golem is a allie.

No one said anything about nerfing slayer. they said buff normal leech to keep it more in line (buffing normal leech would only make vaal pact more powerful as well). But anyways. the reason why other classes don't go vaal pact is because there is a lot of life regen on life nodes they already plan on taking. your life regen almost equals that extra leech you'd get except you don't have to hit enemies to benefit which makes it a better option. it's just not worth it to go forgo life regen for vaal pact now.
