Σ 1.7.0 Announced

[OnlyForFun]

That Druid 2.0 genuinely has me excited!
Now the question would be if the items has been adjusted for his abilities ^^

Lets hope not only for druid ))

[Mr_Ali]

Lets hope the new bow druid tree has a viable single target skill

No more cancerous Barb stances on RMB ? I can't get so erect

Well , stances rework makes it playable for new players and less fun for experienced ones , now you basically just attacks mobs , no skill swaping , braindead gameplay, i dont blame the change but for some players its not the best change.. sometimes you have to use more than 1 stance for example samael fight or Labs , when you run back to regain your hp you swap from Bear to eagle , or wolf to eagle against sam and casting while fighting aint an option.

And how does this change make this any different? You still would have to swap and recast for eagle.. so it's even more skill switching than before.

#logic.

The difference is that you can't just swap stances via Hotkeys but have to cast in addition - that does make stance swapping much slower than before and is not really an option in special encounters like Samael or Deimoss - as morphed already said.

on topic:

I still don't know how I will like the Druid changes. The "redemption" like passive turns me off to be honest. It takes away the control of the player and now you have to pray that it triggers in the right moment to keep you alive.
That Lifeshield is now available at lvl 18 will make lvling even smoother and easier as it already was but will def lack scaling in super endgame setups and/or will eat 11 more skill points to smax at least.
That caster tree is now a devotion might reduce flexibility in fun/niche builds.
I hope that the new caster reward skill will turn out badass
Bow Druid changes sound exciting but I never was a ranged wdm player

Where is SpearZon 2.0? Fully unplayable build :/

You would have to stop and cast the stances while fighting imagine how much time you loose overall if you cast the stances 200-300 times per fight and you could also die while doing stance change , often you change them for 1 or 2 seconds then revert back to wolf (thats how i played it to be more effective and makr the fight easier), waste half a second everytime is not great , when your window to deal dmg is very small, it will make no sense to do stance change at all coz it will make the fight longer and without eagle you will be in more danger of dying as a melee char.

Am I the only one who actually got used to playing barbarian with stances on RMB ? I feel that damage conversion (Stormblast, Iceburst and Ancient Hand) on boss killing skills have been way more of an issue since stacking enough elemental pierce while maintaining decent melee stats is tedious.

Druid remakes sounds promising, poison is kind of boring and too straightforward in its current state.

[Berkabus1]

If i cast for example wolf stance and wear some item granting me another stance, Will they stack ? Or cast crane from barb crafts(runewords) and use wolf.. seems op but not sure this is going to be possible ? Stance only allows user to have it or does it effect minions with new changes?

[blatkill]

One stance cancel others I guess.
