My main argument against it is... it's clunky to use. But let's see how it plays out live first.

Something tells me it doesn’t break immunes but I could be wrong. Let’s wait and see what the -physical resist is first.

Okay, leave and don't come back.

I'm sure people will miss you.

oh I'm sure so many people will miss you if you leave.

The buff to blade fury is stupid. They have NEVER played the game, they have not played blade fury.
This skill has two GREAT problems:
-the retarded delay to cast the first attack
-it needs attack rating to hit and it doesn't have any AR bonus

But of course, they don't have any fucking idea about how this works.

Seems we are still going to use Act 2 Merc and maybe abit of act 5 merc , act 1-3 mercenaries are still weak!

Any info about fixing merc AI ?

1.Character hit block will no longer apply while your character is playing a skill pre-cast animation (Block will still trigger for the skill's post-cast animation).
2.Changed how attack speed is determined while dual-wielding weapons. Swapping weapons between hands should no longer result in dramatically different attack speeds.
3.Character hit recovery will now have diminishing returns when being hit by another player.

These ones are huge imo, you can now walk out of the mb+wof lock much more easily I assume
But I do have a question, does the first one mean when you are in pre-cast animation, you will have 0 block now?

Very underwhelming patch changes for my poor barb, not very much for mercs which I really hoped they would fix but I guess there are some juicy and fun stuff for other players atleast.
