" Slider13 wrote: Nerfing ES passives is horrible and shouldn't be done. The problem as always, and you don't get it, is that a piece of ES gear shouldn't be able to have 1000 ES on it. This is the exact same problem with Kaoms Heart. You have passives that are % based and you allow single hp/es stats to be ridiculously high, making any nerf to %s bigger for those that don't have best in slot gear and just a mere nuisance to those with the best gear. If you want to fix ES, lower the % bonus that gear can roll or the flat additional, don't nerf the stats that everyone relies on. This is especially disappointing to anyone who either is or was thinking of playing a CI melee build with hybrid gear. it's that much harder to get the right amount of ES and armor now to survive, but for those that run and hide after they cast their totems, no big deal right? Bridge the game between gear, don't screw people with passives "fixes". I agree. The problem isn't the passive tree percentages, it's the ridiculously high energy shield values on the equipment itself. You keep reducing the passive tree percentages, the more we need to find equipment with the ridiculously high energy shield values to make the passive nodes worth anything.

Overall great changes, but losing 100% increased crit chance makes me a sad puppy.	Posted by Dregos#5814 on Jul 15, 2013, 1:24:35 PM Quote this Post

GR w/o CI is fine however, so a GR nerf should be more thought about maybe. GR could be "Your life leeched is split between ES and Life". This would make hp/ES a lot more viable, and it would be a 50% nerf to vaal pact + lowlife/CI users. Buff CI accordingly. Really good patch overall, although the IR change is a weird way to nerf it, unless there's a Dex buff in sight.	Posted by Pwere#1874 on Jul 15, 2013, 1:26:04 PM Quote this Post
" Rhalph wrote: And as usual, players who can't spend more than 15 hours a week on the game and get/buy gear which value several exalted are fucked. Great. Thats like saying you wanna earn the same amount of money of someone who studied maths(phd), when you didnt spend as much time and studied history or something. lol No change will make you as strong as dedicated people with lots of time. Get over it.	Posted by sintflut2012#1326 on Jul 15, 2013, 1:26:46 PM Quote this Post
Patch overall looks good but the ES changes where just another mistake. It was clear you broke the balance between hp and es with the nerf to life nodes but the answer was to buff life to even itself with es not nerf es. Melee builds still needed a small buff defensive wise and instead of giving it to them you nerfed ES.... so now ci and health melee are worse thanks. Not only that but most CI players end game aim for a Shav armour with a low life build, you made it even more clear this is the choice to go with the nodes behind CI being a lot worse.

"Melee Splash now has a line of sight check. You will not be able to Splash past walls or other objects that block line of sight from the target point of the attack." Hmmm so, line of sight checks exist. Now what else could those be used for .. hmmm not enough time for gaming!	Posted by zinger#5527 on Jul 15, 2013, 1:32:01 PM Quote this Post

Unnecessary CI nerfs. It's like you just can't leave well enough alone. The reason people go CI is because your chaos damage design is so flawed. You see people going CI and just keep nerfing it. If you want fewer people CI, then try unclusterfucking chaos damage so builds with 800 hp and 3000 ES can survive for more than .5s in a poison arrow cloud. Meanwhile, my 100 hp/sec regen duelist just did merc western forest with -50% chaos resist and never dipped under 75% hp.	Posted by Zaanus#7185 on Jul 15, 2013, 1:41:00 PM Quote this Post

Rather than life or es, it's Kaoms build or Shavs build. CI will just be pre-Shavs spec. Shavs build is best because you get the IIR/IIQ bonus.
