wait. if the purity the only one to remain at 40%, the only way to get permanent low life (for pain attunement) is to use purity on blood magic support?

Prism Guardian shield is a good alternative if you're using a shield wielding build.

+1 to Auras
25% Reduced Mana Reservation
Blood Magic with no mana cost multiplier

Hope you guys tried to buy some of them up once the nerf was announced. ;)

Sorry but the Blood Magic from that shield is keystone passive. Not possible at all without taking new nodes behind it.

edit: and yes i cant wear a shield in my setup

Will i be able to unlink my 3L 3S weapon? or should i do this before the patch hits?

Do it before

These coming changes are simply to describe as a "grand nerf".

Sorry, but: Why do you NERF everything instead of making the game harder????

Auras - nerf
Uniques - nerf
Skill gems - nerf

And that should be the big patch we all waited for?

Kaom's Heart: Increased Life has been reduced to 500. Increased Fire Damage has been added.

You could have added a maximum of 2 sockets or something to it as well. :-)

Why aren't the nerfs to items(uniques in particular) retroactive? This displeases me greatly, having old uniques being more powerful then their nerfed counterparts is just silly.

Why does this bother you? On new leagues, everyone will have new uniques. On standard and HC, some people will have legacy uniques but you are not playing AGAINST them, why does it bother you so much?

Yeah, the big patch should have been 'cold to fire bug has been applied to all skill gems. Now you do 4 billion damage with every skill'.

Congratulations to GGG but legacy items are going to mean mistakes from the past are going to haunt you forever.

You speak as if people are going to be playing in standard..

i wonder if that decision means that pvp and other competitions can only be accessed from one of the temporary leagues in the future.
because it doesn't make sense in legacy with all these uber items floating around.

Oh man, how will my facebreaker marauder ever run Determination/Grace/Hatred/Purity.... maybe ill have to go blood magic.... but fuck i only have liek shy of 3k HP.. I must see this tree b4 teh release so i can start mapping a new alternative build.
Other than that im fucken ready for tmrw,now question is do i keep playing my main and test all the new maps and boss fight on merciless or do i make a scion... and do i make the scion in the new leagues holy fuck my life im going insane right now.
Last question.... do i call into work sick with Mono so i get a month off at least. ;D

LEGACY UNIQUES.

WEAPON ELEMENTAL NERFS.

HIGH MANA NERF.

Concerning those "Aura-Nerf-Whiners":

Have You actually thought of diffent ways to really skill Your character other than stacking only that cookie-cutter-auras?

With just the smallest amount of imagination You would see that You actually do not need all those auras. But to whom am I talking?...

Before You start complaining, please give new ideas a real chance. Thanks

Using just two auras and having spare mana for skills will be quite difficult, maybe not even possible now.

Witches who rely on clarity even more so cos that's another large chunk of mana gone.

Why not make BM incompatible with auras and/or make chars have max 3 auras active at any time and keep the cost 40% and fix the real problem?

Yes, and I think some things should be more difficult now.

I am not the one who is blindly waggling the GGG-Banner, but I am convinced they have given their thoughts to all those decisions.

The thing is really You need to find new ways to make Your character as powerful as it was in the Beta. And without knowing how all those changes really accumulate, lets see and wait how they come out in the release. ;)
