Still no changes to Echoing Resolve?

Ask any high rated player, the trinket is way too broken and should at least be nerfed, if not removed entirely.

I do like the rest of the patch notes, even though I am also missing some tuning. Chaosbolt for example, at least the instant ones.

But- but-but Assa Rogue is the worst rogue spec, why are they nerfing it??? Do you guys not know how to trade CD’s properly???

This.

Generally really positive about these changes but there is still some heavy outlier like Resolve trinket which nobody wants in the game.

i hope you’re trolling or am i getting baited here :frowning:

I’m trolling Shadenox who is no doubt lurking in the post after his persistent defence of Assa Rogue.

these arent very good changes

hpriest is most capable spec for the meta, nerfing it will just make even less people play.

The healer buffs are to cacoon thats basically power world shield

and hpala/rsham casted heals, that they dont actually use often as they cant.

No destro changes

No frost mage deathbourne changes

no looking at dps 4pcs in general, could probably do a lazy blanket 50% nerf to these.

No resolve change… MAKE IT DISPELABLE

Assa rog is for start its okay but:

But the truth is, it doesnt matter.

The problem is with the Shiv+Sepsis, and the SHIV + 40%bleed dmg. (every 25 sec)
That 50% is good, but it still an OP thing, cause of the legendary can allow you to FULL BURST every 40-45 sec :slight_smile:

It will change the playstyle but nothing gonna happen :slight_smile:
