current patch yes, next patch presume they go through with the patch note. it will make it worst then fire warlock. just take out the eth weapon out of the equation already kind of nerf it by 50%, never mind the other nerf

This is the most concerning if they don’t also enable things like itd, cb, ctc.

Not saying raising ar will be that big of a shift in builds, but if it’s being rolled as a melee skill essentially then at bare minimum cb should be applied.

If you trust that character screen after what we have seen for the past 20 years, you aint gonna need crack.

1 concern is how fast the durability loss will be for es. It can be annoying to keep having to repair

Making ES as Smite but from distance

Exactly, until we see what ends up as the reset version we can’t know.

It could actually wind up improved if ds/cb/ow all now come into play.

Eth insight cv + book. Still really cheap, if it breaks you just make another

you need to work on your math lol

over exaggerate it by little, but if you do the entire math. es warlcok will be doing about 15-20% the total damage they currently pump if they go through with that patch note.

the most painful nerf is amp from demon + the es dmg calculation

gotta wait for ptr drop before u can try anything
