does it feel any different?

"HOTFIX 4 - August 15, 2024 - 1.5.0

GAME UPDATES
Aspect of Splintering Energy
Damage increased from 25-50% to 50-80%.
Splintering Energy will arc to additional enemies less frequently.
*NOTE: Tooltip descriptors for this will be changed in a upcoming update.
Developer Note: In rare instances, this aspect alongside Fractured Winterglass could cause detrimental server performance issues. To solve for this, we’re reducing the frequency of it arcing to additional enemies, and increasing its damage to compensate. Additionally, the amount of Frozen Orbs that can be launched from Conjurations while using Fractured Winterglass has been adjusted in these rare instances."


havent logged onto my sorc yet to try

I've been playing mine all day. I see very little difference. No performance issues though, and I'm ps4 still xD

Seems like a solid fix if you ask me.

It might've actually made the build stronger... I got 1100 aethers on a T8 Infernal Horde for the first time today. Previously, I'd only topped out at around 900-1000

Mekuna (the creator of this build that everyone’s using) is actively testing and mentioned it’s a 50%-60% damage nerf overall to the build based on running pits and comparing speed between pre-nerf and post-nerf.

did a t8 with no issues, still pumpin as lightning spear sorc

Creator of build? This game has builds? What are you talking about lol, its just one button click bugged character created by incompetent developers.

Being ignorant to the time investment that goes into planning and theory crafting for the paragon boards in concatenation with aspects just because you don’t like the build or game is wild.

Oh lol, let me guess how this process looks like:

1. Here is lightning spear.
2. Which aspect should we use for it? Fireball aspect maybe? Probably not, looks like we should use the one with damage for lightning spear.
3. What a surprise, all other skills are garbage compared to this (thank you blizzard) !
4. And this is THE BUILD. It was so hard to theory craft here, for many many hours.

Damn you sure sound mad
