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 😅

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

Overperforming skills got massive nerfs. Underperformers left unchanged.

Ailment threshold cut in half, heavy stun 3x longer… it like their brainstorming sessions start with “are there any other fun aspects we haven’t made worse yet?”

I don’t understand how this isn’t the top comment summarizes all I need to know about the state of the game

We don't need to overreact this soon, Mark said that for Spark for example they nerfed the busted interaction so it doesn't melt screens but in return they buffed the base damage.

What he meant is that most skills are changing and their damage is revised while nerfing the broken interaction so that the average player won't be hurt by the changes.

Being frozen twice as much and getting stunned for 3x the duration has nothing to do with skills, I don’t really find spark projectile count getting nerfed in the same discussion point from above

Yeah i agree it looks bad if we don't see the full picture but we don't know the full extent of the changes, and keep in mind per GGG balancing if they nerf of buff something like stun or armor break it also affects the enemies and vice versa.

Like when they made armor break last longer in previous patch it affected both the armor break ability of the user and the enemies. So i guess wait and see how it all comes together because one thing for sure 0.10 wasn't it.
