Σ 2.1.6 Patch Notes

BUCKSHOT IS BACK! HELL YEAH!
Early lvling with it is so much fun

Reaper:
New level 25 upgrade, replaces Voracity
Parasite missile gains Area of Effect

Sounds quite interesting too.

Overall the patches have been great for quite a while now.
The team is doing amazing work imo.

Now that clawsin is getting famous again... I think its time to change Noctule's sound effect. It caused enough frontal lobotomies over the years.

It gets better - AoD now has great synergy with parasite, Chuck can revive his Jumping Jack build, and it will actually become good.

Necros carnage is like breaking frozen glass all the time. No more playing with sound on.

I have to say, I'm overly disappointed with the new Javazon tree. It's rare that I complain about anything in this game, especially on the forum, but I feel like it needs to be said.

There are only two active skills in the entire tree, Eviscerate and Impale, making this one of the most boring builds I've ever played. And Impale is a single-target melee skill with no range, no AOE, no multi-hit and no projectiles. It's literally just a single jab. Sure it applies a strong debuff, but only for two seconds and with a ridiculously low application chance (1% + 1%/blvl). This basically means the only way you can make use of the debuff is to keep hitting with the same shitty skill after wasting 25 points into it. So you end up only using Eviscerate. It actually feels like a Javazon skill which is nice, but its mediocre at clearing and I suppose okay at bossing if you can get all main projectiles to hit.

I will admit, the shieldmaiden buffs are cool, I like new skill synergies like that. But it came at way too much off a loss from an offensive standpoint. I'm hoping something changes with this soon.

EDIT: to be fair, I have not tried the poison variant of this build, which seems to be the only other option. Has anyone out there given this a try? It makes Impale a bit more useful, but I don't think the new poison buffs were big enough to make it endgame viable.

impale does multihit a few times, its just not visible really

My only problem with javazon is the insane mana cost on impale. I maxed it at lvl 100 and it costs almost 100 mana. It is gonna skyrocket even further with all the +skills from charms, and maybe items.

Sorry not find 2.1 bug&feedback so I just post here.
One of my SP character was created before 2.1. After I kill Izual in Nightmare difficulty i didn't get Catalyst of Jewelcrafting, and i try another character which also created before 2.1 and still not drop this item. If this is a bug, please fix that would be better. thank you.

I started Javazon .... but i was very disappoint too .... and in my opinion its also a strange optical mix with javalin and shurikens

Good to know. I think the skill just needs something more. For one, I think it should be a throwing skill. It feels so non-javelin as a point blank melee skill. Sure cLoD had some of those, but it was also a javelin AND spear tree. And then maybe a small multi hitting AoE on impact? Idk.

I couldn't agree more lol.
