Σ 1.7.0 Announced

[ParticuLarry]

So, the only mercenary that uses a shield gets a class that doesn't have class specific shields?

Well, that's only a minor downside to a huge gearing improvement. I'm looking forward to the next patch. I'm stunned as always with how much work is put into this game. The hype train is real!

[Jesuitman01]

Hey awesome! Super excited! Is there any way for you fix blizzard making act 3 complete and total garbage?

[ApEEmPeROR]

Sounds awesome. Keep up the good work.

[ocaliptus]

at last for barb. melee thanks...

[MUS01]

Yessss I can finally play barb!

Well I have some time playing with barb. It's true that using certain skillz like Purify can be frustrating with barb using stances. But I don't think that the mechanic was soo problematic.

Edit: Finally runemaster was reworked. We will see in th future a rework of Spirit Guide?

[ChuckNoRis]

finally a patch worth coming back for . congrats

[Crosby4HyG]

Looks fantastic guys! Time to pick up Dudu again with this patch I think. Merc changes sound really interesting as well.

Thank you very much for mentioning NL and SP in these notes. Even though it sounds like our chars will be much stronger than before, it's nice to be given a heads up rather than be surprised.

Thank you for the continuous development. Can't wait for the ladder start
