I think these patch notes are great. The idea is balance, not to preserve your precious ES.

Gotta love how all these supporters think their opinion matters more than that of a regular Joe. For your information, some people choose not to display their supporter tags (since they dont feel the need to show off and act like their opinion is the end-all-be-all cause they spent money on the game. That's not my case, but just thought I should let you know.

As for the actual patch notes:
Ranger rework (buff) - great. Now do the same for other classes. Notables with more than one thing, hybrid defences, offensive+defensive nodes, yes to all of that.
ES nerf - as mentioned, completely wrong. You can see from this thread that people struggle with CI with mediocre gear. It is only once you get end-game gear with 1000 ES that CI becomes OP. Nerf that and be done with it. If you do not have the balls for that then nerf the modifiers for the next ladder (same as no Kaom in this ladder).
You still need to buff Armor. It sucks. Stacking a defense only to see it be useless against hits where it is needed the most simply sucks.
Evasion buff - good but does nothing against OHKO. Boolean defense is not compatible with hardcore with damage spikes and crits.

good time to quit. i am actually not even mad, i didnt like the game from the first time, i really dont know why i was even playing it....

what other classes have single-dimensional passives/notables? i think that ranger was the last one

hybrid defences? somehow i can find any 2 part combination, my fav is the nullification notable and its contents. these were already present. with sole exception of ranger area.

CI struggling? if CI is 'struggling' how is HP at this time? maybe it is that HP users take 20 life passives and CI take 10 and they are struggling? CI users never really had to try. they took the liberty of using many fancy nodes life base builds had to ignore because life is so important to them (btw - i think that GGG overdone the nerf to HP, that nerf made this game simply not fun for many..)

armor is ok for most builds and encounters. for OSKO there is immortal call that works wonders (if not desynced by brutus..) traps and totems. not that i like that.. but if i die in this game it is to desync not OSKO. mult-proj-desync voidbear from docks is 100x more dangerous than flicker-strike-spider-map-boss with crazy mods.

evasion buff (if works as advertised, big if!) does wonders against bosses - already blind+enfeeble is a strong combo. people are stacking dps to such ridiculous proportions that killing a boss before it is able to even hit one should be possible. evasion granting more time between hits == profit. but - who cares as there are probably like 10 people that did NOT use iron reflexes.. (and now their world is ending because they've lost that mini-bonus.. or abused absurdly powerful grace/determination/granite/IR combo)


after all that whining in this thread i know why ggg does not and will not nerf sporkers. the cheeziest build in existence. probably the most popular build in existence. and played mainly by whiners

IR needs to be nerfed, but you're really nerfing it for DEX users and not for non-dex users?! That seems ass backwards and terrible design.

it's on top of all completely stupid, this is a "rangers-need-some-love" patch to buff them and make them starting area more attractive ...
IR Needed a nerf probably, but it's nerfing dext users, AKA = RANGERS.

I love the changes. The points i save from not taking IR will go to Acrobatics. Finally my dex characters can be dex characters instead of being marauders in a disguise.

Nothing stopped you from doing that before. If that's how you wanted to play it then why didn't you?

They have just as valid of an opinion as people who have been around for a while. Perhaps you disagree but the fact they didn't purchase a Beta Key doesn't mean they are wrong.

It's too early to see if I agree with the changes. I like to experience them before I provide feedback.

"Added a very short delay to Lightning Warp"
How short is very short? Lightning Warp fails a lot, will be nice if this fixes it. Thanks.

Never wanted to pick the weaker option especially in hardcore.

As GGG works their way up to Blizzard level they will care less and less of the gamers opinion. I am so happy that I've not supported them and dont come here and tell me that if I've given them 10000 dollar that they would not make stupid decisions...
