Ok, it's been up for 5 minutes. Someone tell me how I should feel.

Edit:

Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.

Without knowing what these numbers are we really can't tell what's good until they release the 20/20 gem info.

Massive nerfs across the board 😅

u/XelaTuobdog 2d ago

Surely they've buffed underperforming skills just as much as they've nerfed, right?

u/Chaos_Logic 2d ago

Overperforming skills got massive nerfs. Underperformers left unchanged.

u/Monke_With_Stick 2d ago

Well that's just not true. Loads of underperformers got buffed.

u/Namarot 2d ago

Underperformers such as Hexblast were nerfed so hard that literally nobody will play them until they're buffed tenfold.

u/Monke_With_Stick 2d ago

Yeah. I didn't say all

u/XelaTuobdog 2d ago

In meaningful ways on par with nerfs, right?

As someone who only played spark archmage stormweaver, I doubt any skills needed a buff equivalent to the nerf that build needed.

u/ryo3000 2d ago

Elemental Conflux could've done with a significant buff/rework

It's supposed to be an alternative to Archmage and it's just a sad skill

They said they wanted to reduce player power overall this patch.

u/Monke_With_Stick 2d ago

Yeah, not for all, but alot of them have pretty good buffs man.

u/XelaTuobdog 2d ago

Nice, can't wait to try

u/narc040 2d ago

like what? the bone skills? every curse is nerfed. and i dont count a tiny aoe increase as a real buff.

u/PaladinWiz 2d ago

Yeah but like, Bonestorm got buffed buffed lol

Pretty brutal changes overall though. Chaos just got better in comparison since enemies have less chaos resistance than elemental resistance typically.

u/Namarot 2d ago

The only chaos spell that did any single target damage whatsoever, Hexblast, has been functionally removed from the game. I don't see how that can be considered to be a buff.

u/Chaos_Logic 2d ago

I wouldn't say loads, there are some that will be better for sure though.

Poisonous Concoction is one that was already good and looks like it got a decent buff here.
