Hi there...
Getting bored... the patch is just an easier Diablo2 game... no real thought in this at all.

My thoughts:
Amazon... what a waste of frigging time... there are 90% Immune fire monsters in the areas that people like doing
Assassin... wow... this helps... sarcasm
Barbarian... this is a good change... makes him better now that Iron Maiden is removed
Paladin... about time... great update
Druid... now this means more Werebears and Fire builds... could be interesting
Necromancer... WOW... just made this guy MORE of a BEAST for PvM
Sorceress... the fire skill additions are good... will re-introduce Fire-Wall builds again
... Now... the NERF is great... will lessen the Lightning dmg of the Infinity builds... but not enough in my opinion

i think that the barbarian update is excellent and long overdue.
Don't like how they nerfed the hdins yet again... nothing wrong with the way they are currently especially since high rune drop rates are still horrible.
Rest of changes are irrelevant really.

The above is no longer the most recent version.

Check Battle.net Forums.

Voted none of them out of princips; Every single modification is based on how competible each character is in PvM, not PvP.
Tweaking the weakest of the three sorcs, the lightsorc? Let me laugh.
fuck blizzard

I thought I did...
I got link off Arreat Summit just today... think they need to update link...

Oh well... need to go hunting again...

when is this new patch supposed to come out? any speculation or release date given?

Nebu is busy checking error reports. Meanwhile, keep youself updated:

Because PvP died when 1.10 came.

And how is Lightning sorceress the weakest?
Because there's a lot of lightning immunes? That doesn't make the sorceress weak.

Ahh... that is the one I went to...

The topic is only related to what character changes are in the wind... but ty for that... I will keep updated Faelwen ( could not help myself)
