seemed like a ladder reset on crack at first. then all of a sudden almost every skill in the game got 10% buffs and new synergies, all to make PVM builds no one asked for more viable, and it nuked pvp. who wanted an arctic blast druid to be viable? java zon was already s tier pvm char and they just randomly made it better for no reason. summon druid got dogs AND bear, which is ok i guess, but needs shockwave in pvp and skills that cause swirlies are banned lol. FOH is a legit build for pvm, like wtf.

What could go wrong with DAE going from "everything interrupts zons" to "zons are uninterruptible"? With +70% plague dps, -75% cd, no global cd with tele/fury/etc, valk 6->0.6, impale is now smite + decrep, and about 30% extra dps on bow side

Biden still trying to blame Putin for inflation, and now on top of pretending he's done everything he can to bring down oil prices (canceling drilling leases, canceling keystone XL pipeline, hmmm), he's vowing to "get 20 million tons of wheat out of ukraine". Except that wheat is behind a Russian blockade. From the war that Biden is trying to prolong. And a blockade he can't get around without investing the kind of military force that would cause world war 3. So the charitable case is that Biden is making an empty pledge he has no intention to fulfill. Or better yet, that he could avoid war with Russia and still get more wheat onto the global markets by.... Russia seizing it and profiting from it, a further humiliation of his already failed sanctions.

Thank god Jimmy Carter lived to see this man as president.


/e and if we do get dragged into a war, at least our war machine will be running on empty as he drains the strategic oil reserves lmao

what could go wrong in the context of pvp is something the d2r devs have never bothered to ask lol.

I mean its clear enough that they are aware it exists and is a big part of the game and that people were complaining about their changes and it needed attention, but they also didn't even have any of the metagame knowledge required to actually balance it. That's why we have autowsg to replace real wsg. If they didn't care at all, we'd still have assassins autowinning 80% of matchups 100-0

Us enters war
China enters war
EU enters war
India enters war

Then we can killing each other off at a really good rate.
