Maintenance for the week of May 11:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – May 11
We will be performing maintenance for patch 12.0.4 on the PTS on Monday at 12:00AM EDT (4:00 UTC).

Well, how do you like update 8.0.2? Disappointed me personally.

Congratulations to all whiners.

Oakensoul - has become garbage. Now it just doesn't justify 1 panel builds. You should have damage, mobility and healing on your bar. Is it possible to put everything in 5 slots??? The maximum that is left is the sorc has become a little weaker in pve. Hm. Dispelled this myth. If only they were whining at the release, so that it would be enough for at least a couple of weeks. Who needs it now??

Hehe I've been playing a necromancer for a year. And I see a bunch of sorc nb and dk on bg. Ha, if you see a necromancer on the bg you are lucky. They've been nerfed so badly that no one wants to play them anymore. Or they just can't.

The necromancer is so severe that when you enter the BG out of 12 people, 11 are only necromancers. He is so cool that out of 15 abilities, he only has two attacks. You can face roll on the clave and destroy the enemy. haha..just kidding.

Previously, weapon sets did not depend on spell power and I diluted pvp builds with them. Heh, you just need to be patient, maybe in a couple of chapters this class will be fixed. But who am I kidding?)

Sorka was strengthened. Well, yes, the most popular class. It needs to be strengthened in order for the crystal to work from the stamina of abilities. This class is just ferocious to destroy players. They die incredibly rarely. Maximum ranged damage. And with the update, you will be able to combine it with other powerful abilities from Ability Stamina. Twice I see a decent buff for this class. Although I did not consider this class weak. Flashes without cooldown. It's so unfair that someone else whines that this class is weak. I'm tired of running after him. At the same time, this class has the strongest ranged damage and almost never loses to DK. Despite the fact that he is a long-range fighter.

As for the other classes. Changes in order to write something... We nerfed something, buffed something. A little. Class development. Hm. With the addition of new sets, the "Stop Time" or "Necromancer Totem" skills have become useless. After all, there is a plague and DC. Sets have become more useful than abilities. If earlier only the night blade and the necromancer blew up the crowd. Now it is done by everyone and sundry. Do you know? Necromancers are wizards too. Give me a blink.

What did you like about this update or the previous one?

    No change to Arctic Blast means this update is a complete disappointment. They took a skill that was very nearly useless offensively but capable defensively, and made it completely useless both offensively and defensively. It makes absolutely no sense. I'm not sure anyone has ever, since the current Arctic mechanic was implemented, successfully used it to burst me down. More often than not I get stunned while they're on the defense, simply buying themselves another second to heal up or run away. Now you can't even use it for that. I just don't get it. This has to be one of the most baffling nerfs in the history of the game. And now it's almost certainly going live.

    Meanwhile my magdk has fossilize, talons, leap, along with basically unlimited sustain and self healing. Why would I ever play my magden over my magdk in their current states? We tried. We tried to get them to see how silly and damaging this nerf was for magden. But they didn't listen.

    I mean Warden has been waiting for 5 years, and there has been some updates, but it's no closer to having a good class identity from when it launched, but who know maybe Zos likes Necros more

    I have never been afraid of Warden. The variety in abilities is the same as that of the necromancer. To be honest, I was disappointed by the fact that the value of the ability of the ice ult has dropped significantly. The damage is funny.

    When you have 40 thousand life and Arctic Blast heals 3-4k)) well, okay

    I was expecting them to tone down DK and Templar a bit more, but no changes there. It’s just week 3 though. Plenty of time to test and provide feedback, which is the best players can do :)

    We’re a ways off from June 6th - having just rolled into May. I expect there’ll be a week-long code freeze right before go-live, so that gives us about 3 more passes. Do I expect major changes? No. Doesn’t hurt to be hopeful though :)

    After having my hopes crushed 4 times a year for the last 5 or so years, it most certainly does hurt to be hopeful.

    I mean they pretty much never do anything after week 4 which you know .... is just one week away.

    Kinda sad how we are losing cool things before they even go live now due to whining.

    Was really looking forward to the ring, and to stam sorc having a great sustain spammable.

    Oh well.

    The Oakensoul change was perfect.

    They removed the need to slot many buff skills or “While Slotted”-type skills which is great considering the lack of bar space. It also maintained a lot of the same power, but without becoming over the top like it previously was.

    Very good way to approach a nerf to Oakensoul.

    Nothing about occult overload saddens me.

    Shapeshifter Chains is probably the most positive change in the notes. 15% is actually big. IDK if I'll justify running it over Gaze of Sithis on tankWW build, but it might be something to be able to build more aggressive WW.

    Trash. Oakensoul overnerfed to the point of awfulness. People saying it was nerfed because of Werewolf are clearly unaware, even with the ring Werewolves were getting demolished by MagDKs and Bow Sorcs on PTS. It was nerfed because of PvE parsing absurd numbers with a one bar setup. It merely only needed a nerf to the stats it was giving because it was quite clearly overstated.

    Amazingly MagDK remained untouched and the other mythics & set items are just boring and not interesting.

    As a rare shapeshifter user I welcome any straight buffs, but this particular one kinda missed the mark for me personally, as I took this mythic very literally and made a build with Goliath on one side and Werewolf on another and alternate between them. It's not a good build, but it is a fun build.
    I'd rather have it unlock ultigen while transformed, or something else related to ult cost/generation to further reinforce the idea of being shapeshifter.
