Yeah I thought the same thing. They went from "wtf why would anyone use those" to "holy shit" :v:
wow that explains a lot, that's actually pretty good
I wonder how rare the resist crit amulets will be. At least it's going to be nice having league specific uniques again.
This looks like it has the potential to become bigger than Ambush or Perandus with how fun it is.
The fact that you can make your own breaches and farm them with Vaal Breach makes this league ten times better even

Vaal Breach gem breaches won't give XP or items. Only really useful for flask charges and on kill / on hit effects.
Perhaps you can use them to prolong the duration of a breach when you're fighting a breachlord, if the original breach is about to expire you can cast vaal breach and since the breachlord will still be inside a breach, you can keep fighting it for longer and reap more rewards?

More map mods that give pack size is nice, but I don't think armor/evasion/dodge are a big enough problem that they needed to get nerfed via map mods.
Does this mean no more curse immune mods for maps?

well it makes sense to have them for completeness. but yeah, that really just emphasises the dominance of large ehp pools over mitigation defences ie. making CI even better

Geez that complete map tiers challenge. Only need to complete a casual [i]666[/i] T15 maps :v: And the endgame grind challenge now has uber Atziri instead of regular.
The 10000 tier challenge is going to be fun. It's cool to have a new challenge.
RIP Blood Magic mod

rip flask generation lmao, but blade vortex will still be strong
Blade Vortex didn't get gutted, wow. Just won't work very well with Surgeon's/Pathfinder which is fair.
I'm tempted to rebuild my LL BV Occultist in Breach.

Graph showing current BV and 2.5 BV.. Even though it's a general nerf for BV, it's getting a damage buff at higher stacks.

Old BV clear speed was insane enough already, having a tad bit lower damage betwern 3 and 12 stacks won't hurt it too much. I'm surprised they buffed the damage at 20 stacks though, as if boss fights weren't easy enough already...
But the whole flask generation was nerfed quite badly? Isn't that what made Pathfinder BV almost unkillable?
And also on hit has been changed for BV too
[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;51449994]But the whole flask generation was nerfed quite badly? Isn't that what made Pathfinder BV almost unkillable?[/QUOTE]
What they did is going to impact survivability when it comes to dps checks, which means you have to output enough damage to kill a boss fast enough without using up too many portals. A change could be noticed around late yellow to the whole of the red tier, depending on how much dps you can make, the map mods, and their general lethality. It's still going to be very tanky but not as tanky as it used to be at higher tiers, not without the best possible gear.
As far as killing mob packs goes, I doubt much of a change will be seen when it comes to the playstyle of flasks refilling since the kills alone will be enough to keep them filled for the most part

Yeah, Surgeon's from any source was nerfed heavily. Though any BV build that's not flaskfinder BV relying on a ton of flasks will survive.
[quote]
Increased most totem damage, totem additional physical damage reduction and totem attack and cast speed skills in the passive tree by 20-25%. This doesn't apply to the Totemic Mastery notable passive.
Doubled all sources of totem elemental resistance in the passive skill tree
Totems and all other minions now have 40% elemental resistance and 20% chaos resistance.
[/quote]
nice
[quote]The Minion and Totem Elemental Resistance support gem now has a multiplicative minion and totem elemental damage stat on it, scaling from 10% at level 1 to 19% more elemental damage at gem level 20.[/quote]
also interesting, but still probably not worth using
[QUOTE=ejonkou;51450769]Yeah, Surgeon's from any source was nerfed heavily. Though any BV build that's not flaskfinder BV relying on a ton of flasks will survive.[/QUOTE]
really as things stand the mobs will still die very fast at comparable levels, it's just that it's going to be harder to maintain flask uptime when it comes to boss battles. Basically, if you're spamming flasks every encounter with a pack of mobs, you're going to have a rough time, possibly considering BV's hit detection change.
blade flurry still good?
[QUOTE=Kentz;51450796]blade flurry still good?[/QUOTE]
Bit of a nerf but should still be top tier, especially with Cospri and Mjöln nerf.
I don't understand why they nerfed mjolner and cospris so much though.
