I guess good job on fixing heist gems! Now when the summary of impactful changes to 40 old skills will release ? I wonder what changes GGG prepared for something like skeleton mages (which they themselves mentioned yesterday as good alternative to nerfed spectres/phys golems)....

Summoned Skeleton Mages (from Dead Reckoning unique jewel or Vaal Summon Skeletons) now deal 50% more damage, and their projectile speed has been doubled. So I guess they did something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, most gem and ascendancy changes are more than disappointing, but everything else is pretty neat.

Could not have said it better myself, thats the only letdown it seems. Still looking forward to play 3.13, but I wish the Acsendancy and Gem changes were more impactful.

Any chance izaro Instant Phase skipping is going to be fixed?

Pretty disappointed with these changes ... Where are the 40 skills rework that change the meta ?

Woot no Nemesis, you will mostly find me in Burial chambers, with full Delerium juice running an unnerfed Skill... Now where to find one :P

GGG team I hope your reading the comments and see all the people unhappy with what your doing.
It's time to listen to the people who play your game and give you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
To keep it going.

Summary of the Spectremancer nerfs:

•20% decreased damage from Ascendancy nerfs (assuming four allocated lesser Ascendancy points, as should be the case for all real builds).
On an average 420% -> 400% increased minion damage Necromancer this comes out to a simple multiplier of 500/520 = 96.15%.
•Spectres are 4 levels lower (76 -> 72) at maximum gem level. Assuming the gem level progression remains the same past 20 (1 additional level per gem level), that equals a DPS multiplier of a whopping 82.42%.
•Assuming Syndicate Operatives, which I ran in Heist, they can no longer Spell Echo Support their knives, so we'll take the next best thing in terms of DPS (Predator or Awakened Elemental Focus, about the same for my build): 1.75/(0.9*2*1.7) = 57.19%.

Summary of the Spectremancer buffs:

We combine the nerfs with the buffs for an effective before-after multiplier of... *drumroll* 45.32% of pre-Ritual DPS. A little less than half of what it was.
Good job, George.

The new league and atlas content are all awesome, but the balance changes are pure disappointment. I don't mind the nerfs, but where are the promised bufs? What hurts the most is how you lie..

I hope someone will make a redit meme with the Spanish guy laughing, how they promise stuff and then f** as over.. This would be the only good thing to come from these patch notes :D

New Atlas mechanics and Ritual have to carry 3.13 because this "meta shake up" ain't it.
