has anyone tested the new fhr for pvp? im down to enter a game and see if i can get out of mb or leap, or have a sin and barb join and see how bad it is to get leaped + mindblasted. if its not good like wsg then zero chance getting out, with wsg, you have a very good chance of surviving that.


its better wsg cracked and no hk spamming

Anyone doing Ubers? There is a keyset..


I just did ubers, typically i use my kicksin and when lifetap procs on any of the 6 bosses any hit that lands insta-heals me to 100%.

That said i used the smite pally (azurewrath, gface, treachery, upped HOZ, gores, dracs, raven, BK, highlords, string, all of the allres small charms.) When fighting lilith i noticed hitting her when she had lifetap on didnt insta-heal me to 100%, rather it kinda healed maybe 5-10%. I think the other ubers insta-healed when hit with smite.

I also noticed duriel took a really long time to die, maybe he had same issue that diablo has with really high HP or dmg resistance?

Lets consolidate this into a thread

Some updates so far:
  • Unknown issue with bosses like hell diablo. Appears FAR tankier / more resistant than normal, unknown what is causing it, doesn't fold to static or dragon tail for starter
  • Act 3 enchant merc has VERY high level casts. At level 98, he has level 37 base enchant, compared to 30 fireball / 32 firebolt (which now synergizies his fireball). Static field is only level 22
  • Blaze indeed adds %EFRW, not %FRW like items, meaning its one of the biggest movespeed boosts in the entire game now, no diminishing returns like other EFRW skills. It still can't be cast in town, but the %EFRW remains in effect in town, letting you run around at nutty speeds and making it obligatory on ALL sorcs
  • Holy fire indeed was buffed out the ass just like it said and is ridiculous
  • Battle cry on A5 merc is level 23 when maxed, which is -47% damage / -94% defense, making it even more effective than conviction or blessed aim merc for AR albeit unreliable and low aoe


Still need to test out lots more stuff, like grim ward. Post here if you've tested anything not in the patch notes, or that was ambiguously worded or still hard to believe.
Unresolved issue: Does act 1 merc ACTUALLY benefit from exploding arrow affix on weapons like kuko shakuko, or is it purely a visual glitch still? Its clear her exploding arrows from the skill itself DO carry enchant damage. Its not clear if normal attacks are being replaced by exploding arrows that actually deal aoe damage, or just have the same visual with no aoe.



How much AR does their enchant raise? Also I’m unsure as the mechanic but if blade skills require AR does enchant stack on blade skills damage or just the AR?

is that with or without lower resist / conviction? He has 50% fire resist, so he should lose 12.5% of his hp per cast
but dragon tail is barely scratching him


also wondering how melee chars work with the new fhr diminishing returns.

will chars get in block lock now? can you just tele out of tri-wws now? hmmmmm

someone reading this go make melee char and gm melee it up and let us know xP

a firewall with 40k damage per second took about 15 seconds to kill andariel in hell P1, who is supposed to have 60k hp and -50% fire resist, and firewall does 100-167% dps to her depending on overlaps
static field removes about 1-2% of her hp a most, like 1 pixels worth
a 12000 damage -200% resist blizzard removed like 3-4%
50000 meteor did like 10%

so yeah act bosses aren't just pimped up, they're comparable to ubers.
