Yay exploits. Can't have a season without at least one. Funny how this one has existed since 2014, but it only became super obvious and out in the open after 2.4.1

Wizard is always the meta.

Random Question:
Is D3 really that much better than Torchlight II, Grim Dawn with mods? I've been playing those for my ARPG fix.
I might brave my poor internet connection to play again. I dc and rubberband like crazy tho :<
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2016-05-20
If you include mods then probably not.
EDIT:
tfw Tal'Rasha Archon is better than Firebird Archon at GR100+. When the hell did this happen?!

Quote:A bit of a bump, but an update I felt you all would want to see!
We've been preparing the changes for Firebird's Finery, and ultimately, we've settled on slightly redesigning the 4-piece and 6-piece bonuses. Here's how they currently read internally (though, as always, these details are subject to change):
(4) Set Bonus
Dealing Fire damage with one of your skills causes the enemy to take 1000% weapon damage as Fire for 3 seconds. This effect can be repeated a second and third time by different skills. If an enemy is burning due to three different skills simultaneously the enemy will Ignite, dealing 3000% weapon damage per second until they die
(6) Set Bonus
Your damage is increased by 100% for each nearby enemy that is Ignited up to a maximum bonus of 2000%. You always receive the maximum bonus whenever a nearby Elite monster is Ignited
As you can see, we've definitely gone the way of trying to preserve its play style while approaching it from a slightly different angle. You are still encouraged to light multiple targets on fire, and the more you light up, the more powerful you grow.
It should be noted this will impact some existing builds, like the Firebird's/Chantodo's interaction. We are definitely going to want plenty of player testing and experimentation with the revised set, so expect to see a dedicated Focused Feedback thread when we head to PTR.
We're really looking forward to see your thoughts and testing!
RIP Firebird Archon.

It seems to force external fire damage sources, such as Tal Rasha's Meteors, or other legendary equipment powers. I play a Disintegrate-only build with Chain Lightning (fire), so I can no longer do stacks easily since Familiar (fire) only hits 1 target each time...

Popular opinion is this kills the bird. Maybe we'll see some good supporting legendaries, but this isn't very good right now.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2016-06-12
Just realized this will hamper the Fire'Rasha Woh speed build quite a bit as well. Blizzard ruining everything!
Doesn't help that I'll now have to figure out how to play the Vyr'Rasha Archon build

2.5 never.
TORMENT XIII
Firebirds change, still the same numbers as they had announced
A Raiment of a Thousand Storms change too, pretty big buff relatively speaking
Akkhans buff, with some mitigation.
Neat changes to Spike Trap. Actually looks interesting, with some neat supporting legendaries. Could be strong for a Legacy of Nightmares, or even Natalya's/Shadow's build. Probably rolling a Demon Hunter next patch then.
Some gem wording was changed to be "hits" instead of "attacks" or whatever. Return of on hit instead of on cast effects, or just clarification that you actually need to hit something?
Forcing Seismic Slam onto Might of the Earth?
A new Fist of the Heavens supporting item finally. Seems too weak still.
A generic Lashing Tail Kick item. ew.
Spirit Barrage "channel" item. It's not a channeling skill.
A lightning ranged item?
And a dank memes item...
Anyways, I realise I haven't completed my stash tab this season yet... Still struggling to get to GR75 on Uliana's, probably just gonna do other conquests instead.

There's no fucking way this makes it to live.
Quote:Harness the power of fresh OC internet memes to greatly increase your damage.
Clearly the best legendary, ever!
Legendary drop rate must be insane in T13. I mean it's already over 450% increased rate for T10 Rifts.
I'm surprised they didn't go up to Torment 16 considering it was datamined a while back.

Gotta save some content for 2.4.3 mirite?
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - TugboatWilly - 2016-06-14
I hope the organs, 2x DB, etc. is 100% at T13 at least. Looks like it'll be another boring season though. Maybe I'll give Crusader a whirl again after taking a season off from it.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2016-06-14
They'll probably have X% to drop 3x DB / Keys / etc for T13.

So turns out the Twister Sword never had the 8 ET hard cap implemented lol. inb4 next season is still 3 Sup + 1 ET Wiz meta.
Current estimated T11 to T13 values

Another PTR datamine.
Might as well just enable all the runes for Spirit Barrage. I don't understand the nerfs to Scarbringer or Crusaders. Spike Trap is moving forward, but probably still not too great. Same with that Seismic Slam item. Would be great if there was a way to use it as a primary damage dealer, but it's just a buff you cast every 15s at this point. Still better than every 4 seconds or however long it took to Leap 3 times.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2016-06-21
Blizz trying really hard to make ranged Wizard a thing again. Haven't done a ranged build since Tal'Rasha Hydra.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - TugboatWilly - 2016-06-21
Was looking for Crusader buffs but instead they nerfed the belt. It really seems like they don't like Crusader at all.
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2016-06-21
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/20149714/patch-242-ptr-patch-notes-6-14-2016
Patch notes are up. Seems diablofans missed the ranges and only listed the minimum, so Crusader belt got a minor buff in that it can roll up to 170% instead of static 50%.
Unfortunately, they decided to double the damage but double the cooldown on Spike Traps, effectively making it a non-change that's unusable, despite the major complaint being charges suck.
Also, RIP to Archons apparently?
Fixed an issue that was causing stacks of Archon from a previous cast due to The Swami to stack multiplicatively instead of additively with a subsequent, overlapping cast of Archon
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2016-06-21
Jesus Christ.
Every form of Archon is dead (FB, Vyr, Tal'Rasha, Vyr'Rasha, ET, etc).
The only viable build now is DMO, unless the "Lightning Wizard" randomly top tier.
What pisses me off the most is there's people saying these changes are "good", because the ET meta is dead, but they're assuming Vyr is going to get super buffed to compensate.
http://diablo.3utilities.com/?
Wizard still pushing 80 / 90 GRs with FB Archon. I guess there's some hope, but RIP ever trying to do GR75 for the conquest ever again.

Quote:TL;DR
They don't want to change the meta just for the sake of changing the meta
Twisted sword is getting nerfed
They want to change cc with grouping to make grouping/ support harder
They want to reduce party damage buffs to try and change the 3 support 1 dps meta
They want to reduce healing to force player to be more active and less face tanky
Also some additional info:
Quote:The latency is a real concern but it is exacerbated by grouping monsters across multiple screens to a single spot.
Quote:If Area Damage combined with grouping monsters and latency continues to be an issue we're prepared to take additional steps.
Quote:This is the hope. We're prepared to take additional steps to disincentivize grouping 50+ monsters if needed.
