Level requirement isnt the same a lvl of a gem.
CwDt has a lvl req of 31, wich makes it relatively simple to align the supported gems, most spells and especially the most used enduring cry (lvl 5 EC gem has the lvl req 31) wont be as hard to adabt as most ppl expect.
CwDt is OP, we all know it.

I understand this, and I also understand that most lvl 5 gems are crappy for end game content.
Personally, I do not use codt anymore.

Did the power of my build change? Nope.
Did the playstyle change? Yes. I cast more spells now. It is more tedious, but also gives more control, and is safer.

The gem was never OP, it was just a good convenience gem. I still think the devs rushed this change. I will keep my gems around in case the devs buff the gem again.

^This^.

It was really convenient gem. No need to click or push buttons ever few seconds, take care about mana which seem to be insufficient now with yet another nerf - to auras, didn't think it was OP but morelike making casual playing more comfortable. THAT is why so many ppl whine, give them comfortable play for a few weeks, then take it away... stupid decision imo.

I was really happy about how the game progresses, but the lately changes make me quite sad.

1. Taking all auras to % and upping them to 60%... big mistake. Even just taking them all to % but letting them at 40% would do its case, cause ppl aren't able to run them on hps effectively. Now its quite hard to even run 2 for usual ppl who dont specialize on them, cause you miss mana. At low levels, its even hard to run one.

2.When you took ppl way to build their chars defensively by auras, you gave them CoDT gem, which pretty much took auras place in defensive play. Now, you break it too. No wonder ppl are pissed. There were better ways to fix it without overnerfing it - like, having it proc only once per second, or even longer...or, making the dmg for proc reasonable (not like 3k dmg per at high lvls... even 1.5k is alot!!) but this, this is just garbage solution.

3.Purity aura and those new useless auras instead - another step in wrong direction. And another nail in the coffin of solo play.
(Yes, of course with the release and big influx of new ppl, more ppl will be playing solo AT THIS MOMENT, cause they have yet to make their friends and groupies here, but - take a look at the endgame, where most ppl will eventually get to - ppl play just in groups, cause playing solo isnt neither effective not rewarding. And quite dangerous.)

4.Map fix isnt good enough imo. Ok, you fixxed top lvl maps maybe - but still one got to get there.. and it seems to be the problem still. Maybe im wrong about it, i'll try hard to test it and see. But if it was fixxed the way the exp gain in nonmap areas was (eg. for lvls 95+ only) then i consider it not fixed. There were many good ideas on the maps discussion... just pick one.

Please, do not spoil this wonderful game, by constant overnerfs.
Good luck.
