Has it always been a thing? Because if it is then TIL.


Yes

Now while it's still 1.8 you can realise your char becoming abit slower while eating hp pot... Especially visible on chars without any skill provided MS bonuses (possibly wearing light armors that have no speed penalty).

Seems like there is no limitation to nagisins picking up infinite bloodbath passive. Would it work with HG cooldown reduction? Any concerns over it (except points expenditure)?

Jesus christ, i just remembered the launch of Sigma. The pure chaos and unability to play for at least first 2-3 hours. Client wouldn't even download. I hope patch will be available to download at least 2-3 hours before start of new season

Also website was lagging for few hours. Many new possible players gave up. I really hope we are prepared better this time.
Goodluck!

Indeed. You have to eliminate the cooldown for it to become usable, and stretching that out into a passive as if it's some kind of meaningful choice or upgrade is strange.

"Here's the skill, it doesn't work. Now here's the passive that makes it functional" is quite archaic design at this point...

I understand separating upgrades and synergies from the skills themselves for clarity, but some of these cases were just begging for the condition/limitation/whatever to be scrapped or rolled into the skill as a base effect.


I think exactly the same, but you managed to put it into words better than me.

There's also a good example for splitting up the skills in Idol of Scosglen. That's actually a meaningful choice. That's where you're not deciding on whether your skill stays garbage or beomes viable, you decide on which playstyle you prefer. That's what I meant when I said the whole system feels unfinished, as if they only managed to finish the basic design, which still needs work in the upcoming patches. I really hope they fix that in future patches and bring us meaningful choices.

Nothing wrong with padding the bra a little but I definitely notice a pattern. That being said, the major change here is the number of skill trees. If 2.0 is just the placeholder foundation for more substantive changes later, I won't complain. Keep developing each tree and give us meaningful changes and my patreon subscription will continue.
