Now that it's a few weeks into the new season, are you finding any of your classes that you enjoyed playing before significantly changed?

Or is it just warios echo striking and teleing everywhere amping everything with their fat boys?

Hdin gets a good dmg boost and can now theoretically deal with magic immunes - like really deal with em, not like when it was sunder only -.
Good ol Hdin :thumbsup:

The renewed sunders and new unique jewels are, by themselves, a very good buff to all other classes. This is the only major change for other classes.

Gheed's wager is nice on zerk barb and hdin
Sling ring has its place on magic dmg builds
Opalvein is decent on non-fire/light sorcs

horazon glove + boot combo is decent, but LoH still exist... could see it on some particular builds that would need this extra 10 ias/frw
hellwarden's will is decent but can pretty much always be outclassed by other options on any build -> I had fun with it on a bone + CE nec, benefiting from both -magic/fire res (but this is a p1-3 build)

enthropy locket and dreadfang are kinda always bad, even if they look nice on paper
void is not really worth using, except maybe on abyss lock

You could say all classes and builds got buffed by the new Sunders and the new Jewels - but you could also say they all got nerfed because of the Warlock.

Also a valid point could be that a similar buff for all classes, isnt really a buff.

My demondin got 63% more DPS and was able to go from 20fcr to 75fcr without weapon swap.

Biggest buff out of all my character builds.

Dreadfang can enable a wind Dudu amp for cheap while a reaper toll is better if you wanna use a2 Merc aura

hammerdin and bone necro definitely received huge buff this patch, those unique uber jewel/warden/sling rings etc give them huge buff. - magic resist is king you couldn't get in LOD
