I think its pvp only

I tested necro mage skeletons with their items and 6 skillers and infinity on merc. I still think they are pretty weak and not usefull.

What about UT guys? Does smiter do it same easy or harder, with new player vs boss damage reduction?

afaik crushing blow is unaffected and therefore smiters can still do UT reasonably
I just did ubers with a very basic hydra sorc and it was sure a toughy at uber baal, the rest easy enough

Crushing blow still works right, so it should be mostly the same.

IF they wanted to buff shapers they should lift the 75eias break to 200 on the shapers. And keep the old formulas. Should not be hard:
IF
'player' Animation
(OR)
Werewolf
Werewbear
UndeadFetish
Vampire
THEN
Raise 'EIAS CAP' from '75' to '200'
blabla bla xD No idea how diablo code is, but should be an easy fix...

Instead they nerfed it to the ground lol xD

It seems like they failed to understand core features of the game since day 1...
It used to be active gameplay, u got stunned, u had to wsg and time ur tele out. Most of the successfactor was put in the players hand, and then items had good impact as well. YOu where constantly active playing.
Now u put on all the holy fire items and just walk around, not even targeting anything and all dies lol xD

There is much cool stuff going on in this patch ofc, and rebalance is highly needed for this patch, but first they need to understand what core values kept this game great for 20 years...

Anyway, thanks for this topic ghoomshill Hopefully we can keep track of all the new stuff in this one topic Also thanks for testing

How much damage does thorns do now? I want to know if edge bow will be better or worse for my garbage zon playthrough.

When i read the notes i thought they were going to do it the other way. Human attacking as fast as wolf, instead they made the wolf attack as slow as the human

can u further elaborate on Ur gear choice? Like Infy? Or lower resist wand?

LR wand would have been a good idea, didn't show anything really
just did:

flickering flame, eschutas, enigma, phoenix, maras, 2x soj, arach, magefist, 9x skiller, cta/spirit swap, infinity merc
its definitely borderline at being able to do ubers, no way to get around unbreakable fire immunes, need to kite the bosses to not die horrible deaths, and hung up on uber baal with his telestomp patterns
