so it seems this will be target-nerfed in the upcoming patch:
Ascended affixes:
-Increased Aether damage modifiers for Devastation on Armor and Accessories to 30 and 60, respectively. Replaced its Projectile modifiers on weapons with Aether damage modifiers.
Arcanist:
-Devastation: now launches 2 projectiles per volley, damage reduced by 40%. Cooldown and Energy Cost reduced. (I guess this means our Conduit amulet loses a lot of efficiency?)
Wereraven not having the final damage modifier is quite bad as well, if I understand correctly:
Wereraven - Cold Snap: increased point-blank penalty to 30%
Glacial Talons: added % Chance on Attack to Refresh Cold Snap’s Cooldown (moved from Everwinter)
Everwinter: added % Crit damage scaling with rank. Removed % Chance to Refresh Cold Snap’s Cooldown.
Form of the Beast: % Damage Modified has been replaced by % All damage scaling with rank to 135% by rank 12, 210% by max ultimate rank
Sad that I was JUST building it, just hit lvl 100 and had most of the base items and was going to work on putting the ascended affixes in place
