Ouch Infernalist/Demonform butchered - dog taking 20% damage from hits gone, dash distance reduced, now you need to spend 4 points to get uncapped stacks, HP loss is now flat so reduce max life tech is done and so are big stacks. Means that you will now need to stack HP and use % regen rather than flat regen. Shame really, it was nice gear niche where you would want items without max hp and with HP regen.

Yup, imo the most fun build in the game is now useless. I loved my Hexblast Demon and between the Demon Form nerfs and making Hexblast so clunky that no one will ever use it I can confidently say I'm done until 1.0 (at least)

Temp chains hexblast demon form..... Everything got hit. No more low life and DMG from Ming's, less aura and curse effects, max hp and regen scaling instead of flat, hexblast can trigger of blasphemy anymore, hexblast worse in general.....it wasn't a good build but the only one I enjoyed playing.

Yeah definitely nuked my back burner thoughts of playing hexblast lich. Smith of Kitava with spears it is.

The fact that Hexblast got nerfed in a first place… lmao. Time to play chaos I guess!

You know, they also nerfed the chaos totem. Somehow they thought it was hitting too hard? Heh.

I saw that. I’ve been looking forward to seeing some chaos skills buffs. I was surprised to see dark effigy nerf. I was like, okay, maybe they did it to compensate further buffs from the list… the only other chaos change (except for withered +0.1s duration) was the Hexblast one. Not what I really expected lmao.

Gonna be real sad if there are not new chaos spells to compensate. Just gimme back my Soulrend kitties....
