Bear Claw should be replaced with Hawk Talons, imo. If the latter gets increased duration (having a spell timer, of course) with each hard point, I assume this skill can even outclass Rebound and Overkill endgame.

@Stealth

I can get on board with that idea.

lvl1. Stampede (if it gets a relative buff, either by removing skill timer, or increasing width, range, and # of axes.
lvl6. Hawk Talons.

If Stampede gets too strong (doubt it), just lower the WDM or something. There's always ways to nerf without ruining the fun of the skill.

That kind of proves my point further about the viability of Bear Claw and Stampede though.

There should be one extra skill for each character in the forthcoming version, 90lvl with BR challenge as a condition.

As marco has said multiple times in the past, making new skills is extremely hard bcz u end up having to balance every other skill along with it to make it a part of the system. He already gave all the chars a full new skill tree so go experiment with that if u really want to but please stop asking for it over and over and over. He already said this is not a content patch but a major balancing patch, i.e. there might be a few new things but it will mostly just making the whole stuff a bit better for overall exp of the game, unless i m mistaken....

if he really wants to balance all charms and overall difficulty this patch will be extremely difficult anyway. Lets just hope marco doesnt forget about churel and splitfire !

Either OP at low level or UP for uber.


I really hope more "casualization" of median which smoothing early part of median (hatred, lower elite dmg and remove immunity) so people can properly reach baal without needing to read documentation until preparing for level challenge / ennead challenge.

I will make thread for it, considered I already died multiple times when playing the game blindly (not refering to document) on couple part of the game (mainly elite "nuke" dmg).

*Yes, im starting to play median again, but for the sake for documentation. Not that Im gonna farm all uber non-stop though.
