Won’t be able to hop on for a few days and I’m dying to know how the PTR changes affect Blood Boil. How does it currently feel? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Haven't tied but the 4 max radius is freaking small. So must really be crappy now.

S/S quality went through a blender but this is the best I could grab.



Hits from the minion to the two on the edge. Maybe a hair further but that's about it.

KK, so as expected - the "user friendliness" is gone, gotta kill mobs in small batches increasing runs by at least a few factors longer... RIP BB.. this is game not chore..

The damage is still there at least, Infinity on the merc, FF, and Diabolos instead of Phoenix. But the Amp procs are rough and the AoE is as you said down to small batches. Its doable but it feels awful.

Sure... but damage alone is not how you kill things - getting the damage to the monster, the delivery part, is how you kill things. They've nerfed the latter so it take x times longer... yea "awful" is how I'd imagine it to be without yet being able to test ptr. Thanks for the sharing the test though, really appreciate it.

how is mana managment without insight now?

Fine, 34~ Syphon with the synergy from Engorge, plus the 14 LAEK from Enigma and 10~ MAEK from Diabolos. Stack 1k mana and you'll be fine.



Definitely need to work on whatever is butchering my s/s quality but heres another that might help show the new range better.




Edit: Got my demon killed on p8 Diablo. Much more fragile and you have to find an Engorge somewhere mid fight. Maybe more than once.

There's also a lot more watching health because less range means more casts means more health loss. I'm sure you could get into a rotation with a little practice but yeah, feels worse on that aspect too.
