More like you swing your weapon too hard and it slipped out from your grips, becoming a projectile (weapon throw class confirmed!).
[Saluting Intensifies]
Nerfs in general seem rough. I don’t have enough experience in this game to actually comment on this patch, but it’s hard to imagine having put 100’s of hours into a build only to have it be “ruined” by nerfs.
My overall experience and knowledge with RPG-heavy games like this is minimal, so I’m really ignorant about nerfs, to be honest. Is it something that happens regularly, and comes with the territory/genre?
It happens when it needs to happen. If something is usually overpowered, it will get nerfed.
Crate is still balancing out the different skills, devotions, etc from players and do what they need to do.
Lots of nerfs 
I don’t have any end game chars yet but it makes me worried to put the effort into one knowing they could be ruined by some future changes.
Can’t find any notes regarding the cunning requirement. All swords’ cunning requirement increased?
<- couldn’t check, struck in office.
RIP
No idea, friend just sent me a pic of the new Stormheart. Can’t play GD either at the moment.
[s]Edit: Also reports of Blast Shield nerfs.
Patchnote game is on point. :^)[/s]
This is exactly why I haven’t bothered with Flavor of the Month super-builds. Just pick something you like that works reasonably well and is probably ranged, and stick with it til the patch-frenzy dies down.
I played without Crimson Spike for a while and cleared all content. I play with it now just for lifesteal off the item and not the recastable buff. I hardly cast the buff.
what happened to blast shield?
As a blind person, I approve of this. 
Apparently duration has been cut down.
Agrivix’s Malice get a nerf? it needs one.
If you have enough armor, you wont need the lifesteal. Trust me lol I was the biggest advocate of crimson spike.
hmm… tooltip didn’t change…
Apparently my friend was unaware of the old duration. 
Deleting that post.
I can not launch the game now…
Tried verifying game integrity and no deal.
Edit: Nevermind, ran the repair utility now I’m good to go.
I want to let you all know you are amazing company. You listen to players and what can be improved upon.
Keep up the good work. (need to find a way to toss more money at you.) I missed out on kickstarter.
