They are server side hotfixes. There won’t be a patch; the things just change.
DH’s Smoke Screen is nerfed. Wiz’s Force Armor doesn’t work. Monk’s Quickening bug was fixed (as a result Quickening was nerfed quite a bit), and Boon of Protection is nerfed into oblivion (the devs said they are going to replace the rune completely in a later update). EDIT: From the tone of the devs on the Blizz forums, it is looking likely that Force Armor “not working” is not a bug, but a quick band-aid to fix an OP ability. I’m going to guess that they are going to completely replace this rune at the same time as Boon of Protection. There is a post that sounds like Blizz believes that Barb is the correct difficulty for Inferno, and now they are trying to bring everyone else in line with Barb.
One thing to note is that Blizzard is only nerfing the abilities that allow characters to solo Inferno (and fixing the bugs). Inferno is not meant to be solo’d, and Blizz is going to make sure that it isn’t completed alone (at least not easily). They buff when there is a mistake: they gave Monk and Barb their 30% damage reduction in Inferno, because it was accidentally removed.
The Act 2 “City of Blood” chest was hotfixed a couple hours ago. Now the Town Cellar has a lower chance to appear in-game, and when it does appear there is only a small chance that it will contain a Resplendent Chest (it is more likely to either contain no chest or a normal Chest).
The music in this game is very forgettable when compared to the previous games. It’s extremely disappointing… That act 2 desert theme just drones on and on. What happened to shit like this?
I farmed the eff out of that chest while I could for the last 20 hours. Could not find my 1000k+ dps bow…had 190%MF…Opened aroud 400-450 chests…Having a hard time trying to imagine fighting champions that many times for the loot I did get…with no MF…
i was gonna say, help me finish getting 60 first lmao…soooo close
That monk nerf SUCKS, now I have to redo my fucking rune
Oh, same here. I had that happen with something I bought earlier. Mind you, I just woke up, and my auction is still 100% empty, and I lost every single item I had up there
I now figure the best defense is a strong offense for Inferno.
Deadly Reach with Foresight
Conviction Aura with Overawe
Breath of Heaven with Blazing Wrath
Mystic Ally with Water Ally
Serenity with Peaceful Repose
Lashing Tail Kick with Vulture Claw Kick or Scorp Sting, depending on the situation
