but thats essentially bullshit, people are being forced to play in parties.

i have a lvl 88 mara and i play solo all day long, and now since this nerf i dont even know if my char will be viable anymore, so basically just wasted many many hours lol.

lets just wait and see. despite not being able to run many auras, they are going to buff the auras.

to be honest, i personally feel that it's not GGG's intention to allow a single player to run 6/10 of its auras. most games i've played lets your run 1-3 auras and thats it (some only 1 freaking aura)

definitely going to wait and see haha, ill be severely dissapointed if i cant play my mara with current build after patch, after the whole covenant patch its costing me almost triple life to sustain my auras, so ive given up alot to keep them.

it seems to be trending that each major patch 90% of builds get nerfed to uselessness and tree gets a reset and you need to start all over again >.<

i will save most my bitching until i try it, but i wont be upgrading my donor pack if this patch ruins my main :).

anyone else notice determination's cost has been increased, but effectiveness of it has not? way to kill armor based builds

wow this is bullshit. I want to play alone. what about the people whose computers cant handle groups? why do you go full retarded full group mode on this game? oh my god

Does anyone who actually plays the game instead of RMT have that kind of Exalt Stash sitting around?

Play new leagues like a man and you wont have this problem.. Why would you want to stay in standard and that shitttttt economy anyways???? Especially with all of this shit thats going to be in the trade chat starting tomorrow??? Leave this crap behind and play new leagues, you WILL NOT regret it. Trust!

1.) Because the new "shrines" do not interest me one bit in the least. Anarchy interested me, even if the Exile loot ended up being a major disappointment, and I don't play Hardcore.
2.) Because I'm sort of attached to my characters that ended up in standard from Anarchy.
3.) Because I play primarily solo.
4.) Because I have spent all of open beta amssasing the finite amount of gear that I do have, and I'm hoping to progress past level 69 maps.
5.) Because I play primarily self found, and don't have tons of currency, not the desire to slog through trade chat.
6.) Because I actually want to hit level 100 on a character, and I certainly don't play enough to do it in 4 months.
7.) Because I dont' actually stare at Trade Chat, and I was asking purely from the PoV that since OB started, i've found 3 Exalts.
8.) Because When it comes right down to it, I can.
9.) Because You can't make me not.
10.) Because I'm man enough not to come on the forums and blast someone elses choices on what league they want to play in.

oh yeah you are so high and mighty lol, getting a boner for pixels

from 40 ex to 1k ex ... listen to what you are saying, man you need to get your head checked asap

plus if the prices really reach that high ggg will just definitely wipe all that shit away like wiping real turds with toilet paper.

i dont care that much tho, its just leagues from now on, assuming the facebreaker nerf isnt too stupid else i will quit ... so yeah, stick to your trashcan league lol ^^

so if all the unbotteled water on the planet were to suddenly disappear, you would still expect the price of a bottle of water to be reasonable??!
learn supply and demand.

About Ungil:

Ungil gives no other bonuses and only the global crit is useful.
It will literally do less dps or equal dps to any 1 hand + shield combo still.

Why? Because simply you alternate weapons or only use the mainhand. In the case of cleave (which got nerfed big time it seems) and dual strike you look at no increased or even decreased damage effectiveness of the skill in use.

It is very hard to dual wield and actually pull off more damage than just using a shield, despite the 10% more ats. So the block favors this one rare claw, with a lack of armour, life or resists, let alone spell block. I would say shield carrying heroes got the advantage still. In fact it seems shield heroes are being pulled down to the dual wield level, instead of doing something about dual wield and the lack of skills to complement it both styles get the long end of the stick.

Ungil's is a good dagger in PVE. It probably didn't need a buff there. In LLD, it's fucking amazing. DW it gives 180% global crit, which is about all you can get on the tree for LLD (I think 240% exactly from mara tree). The DW block is also an amazing feature as it stands without a buff. With a buff, of any reasonable amount really, with 3 passives in duelist tree you can have 59% block. The same 3 passives and perandus you'd only have 48% block because there's no shield nodes that give 10% block.

The only shield that gives spell block is daresso, which no one uses for it's spell block potential so just like perandus, DW ungil users can use stone of lazhwar.

With elemental damage on gear doubling when used for dual strike they can have potentially high DPS without the weapons being the main source of damage. My only solace is DS mana cost is going up, WED is being nerfed and auras are being nerfed. But my friend made this build famous and he only used wrath so auras being nerfed isn't a big deal to him.

I'm talking only from a perspective of LLD btw. Ungil's will have higher crit chance than any other build, only at a mild disadvantage to other DW builds when it comes to overall damage and have higher block potential than a shield build, also generally higher DPS than a S&B build.

It's a terrible move. The only one I'm not really looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Well, I'll just add my doubts about creating legacy unqiques with this patch. Especially agreeing with the Kaom's heart issues.. By buffing the % based life nodes again in value, base life gets even more important again. I would have loved to see these nodes simply adding some base life instead. Well, whatever..

Good patch in total.

One question though: What's gonna happen to Tempest Shield? Not an aura technically, but I can't believe anyone will be using it now, since it simply doesn't add up.. Two aruas with 45% reservation won't leave space for this already underused gap filler..
