1.2.0 Patch Notes - Forsaken Masters

Is the Brazilian server in this patch? I haven't seen any news on it for a while.
For those who do not yet see this:

Herald of Fire: Needs physical, Ignites enemies killed by attacks for overkill damage (does this apply to spells or is the wording correct?), higher the single hit damage, higher the overkill burning damage. Slight encouragement to Single target heavy damage skills instead of splashing all the time.

Herald of Ice: Needs a spell or attack, Explodes frozen enemies like infernal blow (sorta, no info on the explosion damage). Glacial Hammer explosions now possible, as well as all cold skills for massive damage increase from builds that like to freeze mobs.

Skills these gank on:

95% of attacks excluding elemental hit builds
Ethereal Knives
Shockwave totem
Possibly Bear trap because its a spell but the damage is a "secondary" effect. we shall see

You no longer gain benefit from items or gems that are not currently equipped.


Better late than never. Now people won't be able to cheese the game by using positive item effects and completely disregarding negative effects.

No more stupid stuff like full gear-swap snapshotted minions.

Viper Strike: This skill now adds 10% of physical damage as Chaos Damage and has a 50% chance to deal 175% of the attack's damage as chaos damage over seven seconds. The effect duration won't be refreshed by new attacks, but there is no limit to how many Viper Strike debuffs an enemy can have.


Crit Viper strike - the new best way to kill bosses? Also, will the new VS work fully with melee splash?

"Cast on Critical Strike: The chance to cast has been reduced by a flat 20% at all levels."
thank you <3
Really dont like the changes in the skill tree. Now instead of using few points I need to use more for the same effect for life, mana and elRes. The most important ones and I wont have any points left for damage output.
Can't wait to see those chickens in Forest Encampment :) best update ever.
"All cases of "snapshotting" have been fixed. If you change your items or support gems, then any persistent effects of skills (for example, minions or auras) will update to reflect the changes. You no longer gain benefit from items or gems that are not currently equipped."

this means: bye bye low life using Malachai's Simula Iron Mask???????

OMG Noooo!!!!

GGG, you fucked my char!!!!

really a good sign


Two things, one, a surprising amount of people come read them late, which scales the views later on.

Second, you missed out on a boatload during the live preparation of the notes.

Total views between both threads atm: 181651

And actually, third thing: how about less cynicism?

Yahoo !! (extreme sarcasm)

I was lead to believe 1.2.0 would help bow users finally, and since I only play archers in any game, I was very excited.

My bow is getting an 11% boost to its base damage - big deal

Lesser used skills are getting buffed. I have never in 11 months met another player using Split Arrow as their main attack skill, but did it get a buff? nooo. I guess un-used skills don't count as lesser used skills.

So I am a bow user with 2 versions of split arrow, first is my main damage skill and the second is curse on hit with projectile weakness and vulnerability. It took me many hours of grinding/alching/corrupting to create the rare ammy for dual curses. Now those curses are totally nerfed... I'm not convinced the improvement to curse on hit will make up for the nerf.

Well I only have 1300 hours (54 days) playing time into my char, so what do I care if he is destroyed and unplayable.


Same here!

I dedicated hours and hours to up my char....
and finally when i was happy with him, this expansion came to fuck my char!!

GGG, you destroyed bow users.
