I think that everything that has happened with the IAS "bug" pre-2.3 and this PTR serves as solid evidence that the developer teams Blizz has on board right now are very unfamiliar with wereform builds. If this isn't good evidence, I don't know what is. I think they came into the D2R project with a very poor or limited understanding of their mechanics and, to be honest, it seems like they are just winging it with these changes to see if something sticks. In my mind, this explains why they haven't addressed mobility... it's a glaring and significant issue that wereform players have long been familiar with, but continues to go unmentioned by anyone at Blizzard because they don't even know the issue exists. I don't trust the developers to make the right decision when it comes to improving wereform classes at this point. I think it's very much a wait-and-see type of thing where a number of things can happen...will they implement another change they feel is a buff, but is in reality a nerf? Will they implement small and insignificant buffs (i.e., this AR buff) that still don't make us remotely competitive with other melee classes, but stop there because they think it's enough? Will they actually introduce serious buffs that would level the playing field? It's honestly too hard to tell.

It is the epitome of lazyness lol, they won’t even remove the old useless code so they just add a MAX at the end to get whatever is faster, seriously just wow.

At least they admit they still need to give us actual buffs, and they even said next PTR will have more balance changes

Would be fun if they over buffs us and make us OP, now that would be interesting for a change lol

On a related note, is cyclone armor absorb any significant maxed but without synergies?, I guess it will help but not much…

They don't know what they are doing. They are trying to balance low level pvm play, which literally no one gives a flying fuck about. It's a complete waste of their time and proves they dont and have not ever even played diablo 2 and they dont care enough to consult real players, rather than trashbag streamers. (why anyone would watch someone else play a video game is beyond me, zoomers are going to collapse society)

BUT they fixed their fuck up, and said they will keep trying. Thats good enough for me, for now.

I mean it is something, at least class is playable again

Is it just the old speed or did some weapons get buffed?

I think the slowest weapons in the game might be a little faster, but still slow

So tomb is back to 4? Grief PB?

Yeah same as before, no change
