already happened - Necro Aegis has been moved so it is not available from Templar tree without SOLID detour. this leaves witch that has issues going hybrid and as such is less versatile. i hate that change but oh well..

Actually, that is less of a problem in my opinion. Necro Aegis is not used by all summoner builds. If we look at the extremist MF-lover, he may need the shield slot to account for the res loss from double Andv....ahem! A certain ring. But that's my opinion.

Spork seems strong now Kappa

Nice news, so life gets a serious buff...

If you're say level 81 with +250% life, then this represents 560 life or so?

Teasing at how the new tree will be, eh?
+250% life is crazy by current tree standards.

200% life means using 80% of entire tree currently. this leaves like 20 25 points for all other stuff.

i like that +2 base but life needs much more. esp +% life mods on amulets and armor. without it nothing really chamges. path of nodes and like 10nodes for dmg 10 for atmor and you are leff with with some spares for auras resists etc..

but i hope that spike dmg is reduced because this is what really makes life shit compared to ci.

^This right there.

He wasn't serious when he said "250% life nodes would = 561 more life", was he? Even 200% is ridiculous like you said, it's like 80% of the entire tree. This buff isn't even a band-aid, it's a dabbing from a paper towel.

Yes life based characters use 80% of life passive nodes to get a decent life pool (4-4.5k). But they have armor = reduce phys damage , life pots , ALSO they can use es aswell for more life pool.

I have a friend who went full of path of life and he has 6k life without kaoms.

CI characters use 100% of es nodes to get a decent es pool. But CI users can be stunned almost on every hit cause of their 1 life. They loose one gear piece to get Eye of Chayula if they dont want to get stunned. Also they dont have armor (means no phys damage reduction) and life pots.

Most of you want hyper dps , less life and you get one shot by reflect.. and then you end up with " This game is unplayble! "

Survivability comes 1st , dps 2nd.. you know why? Because you cant dps dead!!

Edit: And yes +2 life on lvl with 250% is crazy life you can get. You could spend the time you used to write this thread on theorycraft instead , and do a build that is solid.

they must have saw me post in global for more base life per lvl... I take full credit. great work GGG keep reading my global posts I have great ideas :)

To me the +500 life is nothing to be excited about. But I digress, if the percentage on some of the life nodes is bumped then cool. Otherwise at least there is more content to grind to higher levels to get to more life nodes.

I see it like this: These guys put up so much for 1.0.0, while still not forgetting about some of the major balancing problems. +2 HP / level is, as mentioned before easily 500HP.
Now, if you have 5k HP, which realyl is a lot: Thats a 10% HP - Buff. Well, you still dont get 8k HP, but thats not the intention. ES-user need ES on their gear, which means they lose all the armour. Thats balancing from GGG. And its clever. And a lot of people like it.

Amen , glad to know that i am not the only one with brain.

Wow 6 unique only.... this will really be just a Big patch
they just gathered stuff they didnt release over the last month and a half of doing no patch and throw it in release to make it look bigger

you are an idiot, if i were GGG i would have never introduced any uniques to the game. The size of the patch is depending on the new content, eg new class, new zones, new maps, redesigned talent tree etc, this is actually a content patch, uniques means nothing.

if you are not satisfied by their job, why are you a divine supporter? why do you care about this game anyways? Seems the same sample applies to you aswell $$$>IQ?

I'm also a person who think uniques kind of limit a game. I never understood why people all want the same piece of loot, I like to be different not a clone. Ah well something for everyone I guess. I'd like to design some that a lot of morons would definately want to look exactly like everyone else so I could laugh about their lack of imagination :p Designing one is alot more fun that wearing one.

Saying unique limit the game is completely flawed... it actually increases the build variety (*If the unique is not a dumb unique, unique items are meant to be unique in what they give, and with that i mean special mod that no other items can have which enables builds arround it)
If it was only a game with rare items... everybody would be clones ... max es-life-res armors... wow thats not limited
