Rogue had their main sustain turned into a lucky hit :'(

before any crit would heal you for % health now only crits on lucky hits

Siphoning Strikes now also requires a Lucky Hit chance of 75%.


But lets be real here 75% - when your blades are out you will get those healing procs pretty easily.
Sure a nerf but not that super hard.

Doesn't that 75% only work on the lucky hit itself? So you need to get a lucky hit AND THEN also get the 75% with the original crit?

(tbh my rogue scaled lucky hit so it wont be a huge deal when i get going but early sustain got a lot harder)

Edit: What have you played with in your build which rely on lucky hit in the pre nerf state?


I never went a trap build I did concealment with poison tb, i used lucky hit for the poison pools aspect and some crowd control aspects like shared misery. I had a 100% crit chance so with some lucky hit my opening could 4/5 times spawn my poison pool to refresh my poison imbue while also knocking down and sometimes spreading my cc to the group. I also used Temerity for a short while(1k health on 5% lucky hit) so i got more healing on lucky hit on my gloves giving me a near 100% uptime on my barrier for a damage aspect while shielded. I ended up dropping temerity because it made me get 1 shot when i was doing nm dungs 25 levels above me but cc and poison aspect that needed lucky hit

Oh sure you have a point here. So you need to add lucky hit on those rings and gloves instead of rolling damage(rings) ias (gloves)
So another damage nerf on Rogue on top :D

TL;DR: Sorcs and barbs are not really viable. The rest are somewhat viable.

Jeez the patch notes didn't mention the initial dmg being nerfed too. Guess it's a secret nerf?

Either way, sorcs are the real ones that got crapped on.


It's because they fixed the way splintering aspects was initially meant to work. Now instead of applying vulnerable to the first hit, it will just apply to everything after that. From what I've seen it only really applies to the shards because it has to hit every enemy once before the vuln van be applied.
