0.11.6 Patch Notes

The minimum value on the highest tier of the various hybrid defences mods has been changed from 100% to 101%. It no longer overlaps with the maximum of the second highest hybrid defence modifiers. This will only affect new rolls of the modifier, either on new equipment or rerolled with Divine Orbs.

What does it mean exactly??

Maybe +% hybrid defences mods does not apply on both stats??

lol.

Care to share your expertise?

"The damage wave of Ground Slam is no longer connected to attack speed, so no matter how fast you attack, the damage wave will still move at the same speed. This does not prevent you from repeat attacking."

Anyone from the staff can elaborate this a bit more?
how can u have repeat attacking without attack speed?
is this turning a normally balanced ground slammer into rheumatoid infected grandma?

Voidbearer nerf ofc

Why the hell each patch makes the game easier?

Not hard at all to understand

Actually, GS creates a wave of damage that goes as fast as you attack; es: 2 attack per second = wave total time travelled = 0.5 sec, 4 attack per second = 0.25 time travelled

Now, even with 4 attack per second, the wave will travel at the same time, BUT IT WILL ANYWAY BE CREATED AFTER EACH ATTACK so not really a big nerf imo, you have instead of 1 wave of damage, 4 waves overlapped

so u are basically saying that g.slammers will experience things like temporal chains curse?

if they slow down waves it will force us to stay in spot until we actually See that mob is being hit and dead..
come on this sounds ridiculous.. and i can bet that is has to do with all the bullshit with that new unique 2h speed

When i think a bit more..this is total disaster..
They are making melee skills like range skills.
Except that melee doesn't have projectile speed..

WHY isn't this shit being done to Freeze pulse ,and bowman?rather then to already crippled 2h mace's?
Why not LA do that?or Freaking cleavers?
I BET it will be a linch party if the 12 as cleaver has to go for coffie untill his skill reaches target...

curious to see how this will look&feel, just a taller passage around the pool? Only "important" for the fullclear record in races, I'd thought...

Reave is now not replaced with a Default attack when you are out of mana. This is to prevent losing Area of Effect stacks when using the skill.

probably risky/problematic - no words against this from the alpha testers?
