I'm kinda mad about the aura thing. And I am never really mad about anything.

This change will nerf my melee duelist who can barely do maps with Determination + Grace(without IR) + Wrath + Purity.

I can't afford to remove any of those.

Without Determination I dont have enough armor.
Without Grace I dont have enough evasion.
Without Hatred I don't do enough DPS.
Without Purity any spellcaster group/shotgun kills me.

this is just fucking solo players like me in the ass, because I either lose damage now or survivability.

I already run reduced mana and have the duelist reduced aura cost passives. But have to put grace with bloodmagic on my life to run it with purity.

When grace becomes % then it is even less useless than before.


Evasion gets 0 love.


Triggergems = not good for evasion, because YOU HAVE TO GET HIT.

Aura Nerf = Grace becomes possible shit because it takes too much mana away for a bit evasion (rather use it with IR as usual).

One important question, I'd appreciate if anyone could answer it. Will the changes regarding boss runs, farming high end zones and IIQ be applied only to new leagues or will they also be active in Standard/HC?

In end-game there is almost zero difference between having 45, 100, or 300 mana left for skills. And to me, someone that went out there way to get 3000 mana should have some kind of benefit over someone that completely ignored the the stat.

Sorry, but that's not true, 100 to 300 mana is quite a huge difference, especially for characters that use mana leech. It takes time for mana to leech back. If your mana cost is 80, you can attack 3-4 times on your base mana, giving you plenty of time to leech. If you have 100 mana, you can get off 1 attack, and you will frequently not have enough mana due to the nature of mana leech.

Mana regeneration difference between 1k mana and 3k is massive.

By itself or with passives and/or equipment, probably all True, but if what mana you have left isn't enough to use your skill once in the first place, regen isn't going to help.

What skill combo are you using that the cost is only 80 mana? I have 4-link skill combos that use more than 100 mana. When you factor in casts per second, 300 mana is nothing, especially in terms of my example where you had to have 3000 mana to have 300 left.

To me, 100 or 300 mana left is irrelevant. Both values are too low and will require you to have some other means to sustain your mana.
