Thanks for the hard work, very interesting changes. Poison meta incoming?

Hype!!

Interesting Ice Elementals nerf, wonder whether you'll still go Cold for Ice Queen or if the other elements now have competitive defenses. Especially for Melee Sorc where all you care about is the utility.

more variety for sorc overall, keeps it less bland for every build

Variety =/= better (at least, not always). Yeah, Fire and Poison Sorcs got some love, but RIP all other Sorcs. Tweaks to Force Blast look nice, though.

Edit:
@snowman41
IE nerf won't affect Melee Sorc end-game, but it will make everything up to that point harder (gl hf with Toraja). They were already squishy af without heavy investments since they don't get Life bonuses from Sorc passives. Now, they're pointless for anything other than J-Day spamming.

Do the ice elementals from

"REBOUND: will no longer waste axes on targets outside of line of sight"
I never played rebounder seriously so I might be wrong but isn't that a huge nerf? I mean when they target enemies out of sight it means more axes in the faces of mobs between.

And how do you make poison clouds stack? I thought the highest poison dps always overrides.

DRAGON WYRMS: duration & damage reduced by 20%, mana cost increased by 20%

Lmao is this meme skill actually strong few ladders ago so it needs a nerf?
