if the summoner skills regen part doesnt count as an aura and is scalable... its useless loot filler.

i need it for movement only. there are already tons of minion healing sources and yet another is not really needed

Rhoa charges, Blackguard shield charges and Fire Fury's Firestorm can no longer crit in Normal difficulty. This is a way of reducing the variance of the difficulty of these encounters, without just outright nerfing them.

I disagree with this. Strongly. This, combined with a new Hailrake fight which I'm worried will be much easier, really takes away from the early message of "this is a hardcore game." It's an important message to deliver early, because it allows the entire game to feel as a thematic whole. Call it foreshadowing, if you will.

Seriously. Do. Not. Like.

I need a better dagger skill.

Something like reave but without the stacking AoE, that's annoying and doesn't work for me. Maybe it will get better when the skill is higher level or with incr AoE...

Im now using Lightningstrike with fork and likely will try out elemental hit with multistrike

U just need a nice APS weapon, if u get to 4 or more attacks per second u wont even notice the stacks

If side areas = corrupted areas, does that mean our instances are gonna be 120% more likely to be convoluted as fuck for certain zones?

If you notice is says in Normal only.
I dont see this as taking away from Hardcore mode at all.

The character creation process has been streamlined so that you have to select a character class before you can type in a character name. Some new players were struggling to understand the flow of this UI before.

lol I was here, read this and laughed about it.

You can argue that, but you can also argue that for people who don't know, all they see is themselves getting one-shot.
You see how many wimpy "hardcore" players are complaining about Invasion? (after they complained that Onslaught/Nemesis was "too easy", and that scrubcore was for noobs (without playing against pre-nerf exiles in anarchy which is basically the same thing))

Now let's pull these two ideas together, and the end result isn't that this game is hardcore, but rather that: "this is bs why do I want to play this ****ing ***t".

:( The character creation process has been streamlined so that you have to select a character class before you can type in a character name. Some new players were struggling to understand the flow of this UI before.:(

This makes me sad because I hate listening to the Scion yammering on and on and I would enter the name before selecting her. Oh well, I will live.

Ah no please, that would be pay2win if we need mtx to see our mouse cursor better :)

You're right. A little grinning skull cursor for my summoner would be full of win! =^[.]^=
