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


If it helps vs act bosses though. My mf/gf barb can clear baal easy, but then takes an eternity to kill baal (mostly because 90% miss, but still)

About throw barb.
Throw build is still crap because of low qantity, You'll have to go to town every 2 mins for repair. Quantity needs to be at least 500ish imo.

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?


I think it means you will block and still cast without it being interrupted, whereas now as a caster if you are about to cast and a block is triggered it can stop the cast from happening.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though

Has anyone calculated bone soear and bone spirit damage with the current pvp meta gear after these synergy buffs? Its just 1% per synergy pt for spear and 2% per pt for spirit, but I imagine it will stack up to alot?

On phone cba do the calculations myself!

Suprised to see they didnt let go of antiquated quantity mechanic alltogether.... ethereal ones can have durability so it still needs selfrepair to not become op.

Its as useless a mechanic as stamina

To anyone saying this is an underwhelming patch , those are the initial patch notes , expect things to change based on player feedback. My suggestion , wait and see before making any judgement.

Set item „rework“ is a big letdown.
Let‘s see how they respond to feedback…

I think spear is around 14% stronger, while spirit is around 33% stronger

After looking at numbers I'm hopeful the leap and leap attack numbers either dont reduce the minimum 15 frame interval or maybe make it 12-13 frames. Right now its 6 frames foreswing, 6+ frames in air, 3 frames landing animation. Might not wreck pvp if its 13 frames

holy fire auradins WILL wreck pvp, however

Just tested the new iron wolf fire merc setup with an auradin. Iron wolf wearing the new nef pul vex helm, dragon shield and armor, hand of justice eth cryptic sword. I simulated his enchant with a non-legit charm that casts while I am attacking.

It absolutely melts enemies. Haven't calculated the total elemental damage, but just from the feel alone, this is another new powerful and viable build. Might try this setup on bnet.


Does Merc aura add ele damage to your attacks?
