Echo strike warlock is doing great, but don't think I want to stick with it after the huge nerfs to it.

Is fire the move over magic for clearing p8? No enigma still and haven't found a single sunder charm even with mosaic sin, but I know the updates will fix the drop rate.

So thinking I go fire and farm for a sunder and fire gem from the ancients

Thoughts?

Take a break. Ladder reset 22 May confirmed.

I mean after the reset and the nerf. I'm playing offline

just don’t update your game ezpz

Ya do it and keep us posted

play mosaic

fire is stronger than magic but both are a huge step down from what ES is now

edit: I play magic anyway because fire playstyle is annoying imo... apocalypse looks awesome but is clunky AF and I end up spamming fire wave mostly

Sc doesn’t matter. Nerf to fire is the least imo..

The book requirement sucks for HC, but a good Diablo book will noticeably increase your Apoc damage, which is untouched.

The flame wave nerf is minimal. It’s application will remain unchanged minus the 15% overall nerf to the skill.

Losing free conviction hurts to the tune of a loss 16-17 minus enemy fire res, but they still are good tanks, although not immortal.

The demon hard points requirement nerf still works pretty well with the 3-skill synergy fire tree. Can get a tank and a consume. The other two build options will be limited to a single consume, imo.

You’ll struggle with fire though, without proper gear and a sunder.
