Σ 1.5.3 Patch Notes

[Ywinel]

I know it's good to make mod more beginner friendly but I'm a bit worried about Cows nerf. I loved this level because of these tons of cows rushing at you at from all the sides. I wish it would be only slight reduction in movement speed and density, otherwise cow level may become boring :c

Novas were genuinely annoying tho so i am happy they nerfed em a bit.

first thought about the notes
1. bear stance available for ranged and caster barbs
2. ghal on weapons goes from 15 EF to 45 per rune (x12 for 2x6 socket weapons)
3. bunch of spell oskills buffed

I'm guessing that adds up to you playing a caster barb this season? So... will there be a TL;DR caster barb guide?

Btw Shame they can't find a way to put stances on LMB (something to do with core game engine mechanics iirc?).

What are the chances gorestrike (drunk) or whatever it’s called will be worthwhile? Lower hits per second but +180% dmg..

Given that procs have been nerfed to shit, it doesn’t seem like too much of a loss.

I think the issue with auras on left button is problem with opening door?
As for barb, I don't know, I try play different characters each season, thers whole cycle before you can go back to barb, need play all other classes first.

Don't forget that the next delay was lowered, too. That means that in previous versions you couldn't stack it that well. But now it's likely that attacking with gorefest more than once will increase the damage output considerably, improving the overall damage output more than "only" the 180%. Maybe the next delay reduction will make you end up with the same amount of hits per second, if not more. You just need to attack a few times to make it worth it. I think it'll be a pretty good attack for a small-medium area.

Stupid question. Will SP characters, gear and skills convert to 1.5 once its out?

Looks like patch 1.4.5 to be honest. But hey better than nothing. Lots of good games to play at the moment
Changes to early endgame content are nice.

What I would LOVE to see is some rebalance in sacred armor strength requirements. Currently this is a huge hurdle for characters that are moving away from T4/lowRW gear into crafts, sets, early SUs. They replace their strength required 100-200 gear with something that requires 500, even the lightest armor types. This sometimes happens before they get any charms, even beginner ones. This means you need to put in most if not all of your points into an unused attribute (for casters str or dex doesn't do anything).

I would expand the range of sacred armor requirements. Currently they start out at about 450-500 and finish on 650-700 for the heaviest armortypes.
I would lower the entry barrier, make the lower end armors require 200-250 points, whereas the higher end (full plate, ancient plate) require something closer to 1000 points. This means that equipping heaviest armor types would mandate some sort of investment even from endgame level 135 characters.

It's really stupid that we go from being unable to invest in primary attribute (as casters) to "wear everything with 0 strength" at endgame...

Jewels with -10% to requirements are your friends
