Preview of Early-Game Monster Rebalance

Remember back when in each preview video we died? I member.

Also groundslam woot

So the Fairgraves fight now takes a minute? ... great

Back in 4.0

I will facetank them all anyway.

Well, the minibosses now have updated visuals except Hillock, which is still the same as before.
No telegraphing for all minibosses and same dmg as before, except Kuduku which may hit harder now.

Beeing Melee with a crapy Ping (500-1000ms)... I dont see here any other way than going on face tanking

No game in the world is intended to be played with half a second to a second delay. If your circumstances dictate these conditions, then I'm afraid you're just out of luck :/

I like the idea behind these changes. I only recently got into the game. I tried to do so 3 times before and I always quit before I even reached the mapping portion of the game, because it just felt too clunky, stiff and unresponsive to me. The campaign, specifically the first two acts, form that crucial first impression that might make a new player decide to stick with it long term. Making that part a smoother experience can only be a good thing, even though it does very little for veteran players who storm through these portions of the game within half an hour.

Hopefully later game content will get addressed in similar ways in the future, even though that might be difficult with the ludicrusly high speed and visual overkill the game tends to have lategame (two of my main dislikes about the game...)

Quality

I give this a 2/10 because the dodge skill looks cool.

Looks pretty good!
