So was this not a NERF over All?
|
not a nerf
the skill enchantments are now more deterministic those lab runners and parties got hurt though, but who cares about them right? |

some builds got nerfed, some got buffed
overall it won't matter because we'll have a lot of new builds " an extra chain on arc isn't exactly 15% more damage. that more damage per chain multiplier is additive with the gem's own 15% more damage multiplier. and we already had a helmet enchant that gave +1 chain anyway. we lost the extra chain from the helmet enchant, lost the shock effect, lost chaining range from anomalous quality. this isn't really a buff and transfigured gems aren't meant to be "upgrades" to the original gems. they just introduce different ways to play with the skill. by no means they're stronger or weaker, they're just completely different skills Last edited by auspexa#1404 on Dec 3, 2023, 8:42:23 AM

It's interesting to see that they more or less buffed META skills like Lightning Arrow and Tornado Shot, while gutted Cyclone's AoE.
I like to understand things. This, I do not understand and it bothers me. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz#3529 on Dec 3, 2023, 9:23:27 AM

" Maybe they just look at the death counts and don't really play that much themselve... Legolas"TasteofHateNotThatGood"CTJuicer: 1337 deaths, lvl 100 CarnFanboyBonezoneSlayerBetterThanJugg: 13 Deaths, lvl 100 => melee op, TS needs some help |

Some of the builds I use got nerfed... sooooo just might figure out a new build to play this upcoming league. Probably something tanky

" Something tells me that Legolas' death count was intentional :) |

Ashes nerf was maybe based on the charms we can get, as the hiero has it as an ascendancy. (MRE)

Nope, Ashes nerf was because they changed quality of gems to be way stronger. Because of that Ashes becomes much stronger amulet than it was. So it needed nerf.

" An "additive" more modifier is still miles above normal additive increased damage. Also it's +1 chain at 20% quality, with enhance and ashes you could likely hit +3 chains. It's a pretty dang huge buff. You keep saying that about transfigured gems but this was directly addressed in the QA and answered by Mark. Transfigured gems are meant to be upgrades with added complexity. They are more niche in most cases but allow you to get more overall out of them if you build around that niche. |

Phrazz are we sure they didn't just bake the radius in? My feeling was that stages were just removed and it got set to the final stage by default to remove the unnecessary windup time it had.
I gotta say I wouldn't put it past them to nerf cyclone but my expectation is that its slightly buffed (10% radius per instead of 8 and slightly faster) |
