Σ 1.6.2 Patch Notes

[Ruubel]

Three was already a hint -this new Cotw is not so rare as umo-s

[Wasp]

Well that update sounds good, but I damn hope I can finally kill diablo with my lvl 62 Necro with 14k def and 75% fire res with 200% minion dmg

UNINTERRUPTIBLE ATTACK:
The stat was removed from all items and skills as it never worked

You've got to be kidding me lol, i always valued that stat super high when crafting jewels

[Demonlord]

"BER RUNE: now makes item Indestructible"

Me likey

Question, what situation would it make sense to socket an item with a BER rune for that rather than just using a jewel with the indestructible attribute and getting anything else that may come on that jewel as gravy. I feel like I must be missing something here

An Ethereal Item on a class like Barb running Runemaster comes to mind. Niche i know but im sure there are other situations where it becomes a better option. Also acts as an easy way to get Indestructible on an item early on before you have AC to burn on Jewel Crafting.

The Awakening: max stamina bonus is now 25, down from 50

Omg that nerf !

[Splargh]

so summon thunder bear is only available on the new relic now? Cause I don't see the old druid runeword that used to give the skill

Seems like you are right, there is no way to get that summon the bear except relics.
I hope they bring it back to Tier Spirit Mask like before

ah you're right, it was the TU spirit mask. I misremembered it as a runeword

[whine_start/]
If Blizzard supported Diablo 2 like this since the beginning, whole mankind would play it infinitely. But they bothered more about gay presence in their games instead of really important changes/gameplay improvements.

I believe the only skill it worked for was Hammer of Zerae.

Is necro really bad or something? Does it not clear end game content? I just started at the end of this last season and i didn't push my necro too hard because I'm new and the season is resetting, but I don't want to invest a bunch of time into something that's going to struggle a lot. Any advice? What have your experiences been like?

[aguni]

Necro this patch should have a lot of endgame potential with Relics. Totem nec with Elemental Totem, +Extra totems and stronger Jinn aura will be bonkers, summon nec with Barb spirit bloodlust and stronger blood skeleton aura etc. 1.6 is gonna be nuts.
