no, I’m asking if there are any significant changes, because I have no idea
I ask this from time to time, usually after a major update.
Unlike end game builds, beginner builds aren’t that affected by patch changes. Something like devotion route might be optimised, but it’s not gonna make huge difference. For instance in previous patch Turtle was the hot commodity, but it was slightly nerfed, so it’s no longer mandatory pick, especially for builds without cool down reduction. Devotion wise your best option is always to take early on Assassin’s mark and Kraken for any 2H builds, that never changes.
Skills wise, Blade Arc was actually buffed this patch and that’s good news, since the skill lost some traction.
Thanks! It’s good to hear from experienced players. I was agreeing with @Adexrekt about the “asking about serious changes”. I have this build nearly to level 100 (lvl68), it’s been a lot of fun so far. I usually ask if the build is 1.1.7 or older, as much has changed since then.
