feedback for the feedback thread
it's been more than 8 months since i haven't played any Sigma, and more than a year since i've played a serious build from start to end because i did not like (and still don\t like) where this is all heading .
- i love eyecandy builds , but patch by patch i see the proc chances nerfed for the sake of "better performance" . just look at

really ? 2% ?
- the leveling part from clvl 130 onwards is (still) taking too much imo and gives me no real reason to play after hitting 135 and killing Deimoss and Samael . it's like there's no other challenge to do after that , so then i stop . it has a sower taste . you killed all that was there to kill and somewhat , it's not over . your character is still not maxed .
go in the labs and grind to reach max level ? no thanks , i no longer have that much time to spare on gaming . i like diversity and playing as many builds in the shortest amount of time . i can't get stuck to 1 build for 1 month and no , i won't respec from (example) caster to bow at level 130+ and pretend that so far nothing happened and my build is something else than the one i started and got so far . it's like preparing all your life to be a doctor , study for years , get your degree , get to practice for 30 years and when it's about time to retire you put on some electrician suit and change your job and say you're an electrician , then die in a few weeks . what will they write on your cross? "here lays our beloved electrician" ?
- the drop rates are a bit low , the really good stuff has a very small chance to drop and force more time to waste on grinding . but i guess this goes well for the economy where people invest real money (in mp) to buy some gear they could not find.
maybe it's me . maybe it's the lack of spare time ... dunno .
i'll be around here for about 1 week (then i think ill go back to the other games i play) , to get some taste of those updates that i haven't tested so far
amazons ...still waiting for that spear tree to appear in the changelog with something good
assassin ,necro and sorceress ...nothing important changed lately , so i guess i'll skip them
barbarians ... i already got one for a spin yesterday , i like the attacks on right click , but nothing else to mention
druids ... i have tried the (x) bow tree yesterday (and put on a crossbow for more flavour), but got annoyed by the bear small aura radius and ditched it before it got to the end of act 5 normal . it's similar to the Aegipan rw where your main skills depend on another skill . adjusting the bear could make it more appealing . maybe next patch
- the caster based on Hurricane looks interesting , but i haven't read too much positive feedback about it (here :
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57305&p=449392&hilit=hurricane#p449392 )
paladin - the unholy caster boost looks good . i'll give it a shot
