Patch updates thoughts

Hey peeps

super happy about the barb belt been buffed again to boost rend damage. Also noticed that bazooka still works & they intend to fix this in future patches. What about the crusader 600% damage buff at the new 20 stacks maximum on the shield I wonder how that will perform now?

Let me know your thoughts peeps.

Have you heard the word about D4 basically downgrading the sets to upgrade the legendaries. That’ll be interesting, but they better not take away my Aincents full time 'til death. As for rend it’s pretty much for lesser guys, only used against bosses when 3 Avalanche & 3 Overpower still have’nt done the job.

Well, the Shield of Fury change isn’t a buff, it’s a cap and therefore a nerf which will make it questionable as dps in groups and going as high solo as before… but since you can’t or won’t play that build (as you’ve stated in another thread) it will not affect you.

The barb buff will probably suit you better as the class has long uptimes on some essential skills… you’ll still have to manage some cool downs and short lived skills though. So be careful out there!

Ohh hey cheeky cheeky Jazz. Regarding the shield yes it has been subject to a right and proper nerf: however; it still profers a buff capped at 20% opposed to infinite :slight_smile: stacks which means it max buff is now 600% ergo still a buff hence forth I was right to refer to an item that enhances a skill as a buff regardless of it now been limited. The only time it would of been an incorrect term would of been if the item in question no longer enhanced a skill however as we all know this is clearly (to most of us) not the case Jazz so mind how you go & stay off the caffeine lad eh :wink:
