No changes to minion gems at all :(. The only builds I play, reaper was so desperate for a big buff aswell to get her level with the rest.

Oh well look forward to the next league, give this one a skip

The game has over 270 different skills and you only play if yours gets buffed? thats very childish, if you only want to play 1 build, this may not be your game.

Well considering when the last minion buff skill buffs were and I’ve been playing for a decent amount of time, that’s obviously not true is it. I don’t play 1 build, I main 1 class and have many builds for that class.

Guess what? Minions are ruling since that buff, low budget all content and scales up to one shot anything in this game.Only build making blight with no much effort, others have to sweat the soul out to achieve the same.
Buff minions? No thanks.

Im guessing he didnt try skeletal mages for example, those were crazy last time.

No Infernal Cry update?

Why did Rolling Magma get nerfed from 350% damage effectiveness to 280%? Manifesto said it would be 350%, now it's only receiving a 22% more modifier instead of 50% more like everything else.

[personal opinion] Ok, so I tested few old chars to have a feeling for self cast. This game is very fast and the mobs are very often deadly. Self cast is well.... a lot of clicking, it interrupts the flow and exposes us to deadly mobs while casting. Buffing absolute numbers does not really cut it. I took my Ice Spear CoC Occultist for a (cyclone) spin and it's a blast. Trying to cast those ice spears manually feels like starting Act 1.

I think about at least league starter self casting character but I am hesitating.

CoC Ice Spear Occultist is nerfed?I see that coc damage is nerfed by 40% but the ice spear base damage is huge buffed.

Cobra lash any buff? Its realy bad in this huge buff for other skills.

Does the "Deals 12% of your maximum Life as base Chaos Damage" from Forbidden Rite be affected by the effectivenes of added damage?

I think it's hard to say without doing the math - if CoC/CWC weren't nerfed they would be insanely strong. If I were to hazard a guess, a 40% nerf to CoC and a 40% buff to Ice Spear and every other relevant skill means it's probably just fine.
