woot

The tooltip is incorrect. What I mean is that in practice, 4 yards seems not far off from what I actually experience on my screen.

new radius is 4 yards per blizz PTR notes today, RIP homie


pretty much killed warlock for all builds


ring of fire = frost nova now (literally from devs)
ES = nerfed into ground
BB = nerfed into ground
Bind demon = pretty much nerfed into ground (amp reduced from 75% on curse affix to 5% LOL), and they removed HF, holy lite, and conv from pool to give to your demon

I feel like you can still bind a demon that has a conv aura though...


pure demonolists can still crush, but not sure where the extra points will go

does this kill the build or is 4 yards workable?

especially if I dont have enigma

A typical blood boil build before this change would have ~10.3 radius when maxed out (20.6 displayed)
This either just set the radius to 4, or more likely (i'll test son) its probably set to 2 yards because it was already listing diameter not radius
It would make the build entirely unplayable and removed from the game, that's less range than melee attacks

Anyway just to list the various ways this would neuter the build;

• point blank range radius means boil won't hit anything unless its rubbing up against them
  
• 5% chance to cast amp means only holy freeze + cursed can even proc at all and only in big groups, and is now gimped horribly
  
• can't get conviction anyway so totally reliant on merc again
  
• sigil lethargy straight up fucking removed from the game because it no longer gives -% dr at all
  
• 20 hard points mastery needed to use defiler + consume + bound demon, meaning you can't max bind demon
  
• 15 hard points bind demon needed to get a unique, meaning you need to hit level 89 without hex siphon until 92 and won't max bind until 97

I want to see just how nerfed ES is when you run all those numbers, but there's no way its as unplayable as blood boil will be now
Meanwhile for some inexplicable reason they made Tainted deal the full 36000 fire damage per attack in the same patch


So yeah I think you'll have to respec into a tainted summoner and now we'll have to see whether its worth going 3x tainted and not using a bound demon at all

what are unique monster options and is super uniques needed at all?

Crimson Desert is a pretty good and huge game, otherwise Path of Exile 2 for scratching that multiplayer grind itch

I believe you still can get a Conviction demon like ~Hephasto if he already comes with Conviction
just cant roll conviction on Bind 20 anymore

however this also means that you cant have Urdar + Conviction anymore..

"When these roll they are now replaced with Fanatiscm, Vigor, Thorns, Concentration. Holy Freeze can still roll on a bound demon."


Sounds to me like even if he has Conviction it'll get replaced with one of these.
