Aether Resistance of monsters changed in favor of the player to counter this. In my opinion, Aether builds are better now: Same RR, no need to cast corruption. But yes, the change is severe - but OK.
And I dont get why people get furious about teenie tiny 8% CDRā¦??
Oh, I donāt see that changelog. But still 5% RR deficit.
Also, seal of corruption become useless. Might as well remove it from the game.
Lol, itās not tiny at all.
Zantai add it probably for pet caster. However it will be abused by non pet too obviously.
Conduit of Night Whispers: replaced +1 Summon Limit modifier for Blade Spirit with a Fire themed modifier. Increased Fire damage modifier for Ring of Steel
Just Why?!? Blade spirit is already a lolskill, often only used to trigger devotionsā¦ And now a fire nightblade has 2 choices (Blade spirit & Ring of steel) when a classic cold or piercing Nightblade has none.
Stronghold Defender: removed +1 to All Skills
Oh come on

Yeah, but i only used the shield.
Not that it was overused before but stat-wise, no one can deny that it was overloaded with a lot of good resistances for one item with +1 to all skills on top. Same goes for Cataclysmās Eye (except this was used a ton in different builds and in the case of pet builds dominated the item slot quite a bit).
I donāt think anyone asked for Stronghold Defender to change unlike Cataclysmās Eye but ultimately do think both changes are pretty justified but thatās just me, feel free to disagree.

Thanks for the update Crate! Time to check out the new changes.
True. My lightining retaliation might be good for higher SR (higher for me. others wouldnāt call 70-75 sr as being 'higher ā 
) because of its tankiness. But when I need fast farm blossoms, treasure chests, nemesis , totemsā¦ i would never chose it for that. Because it is slow.
Besides only physical and acid retaliators are really shine in SR and against celestial bosses. Other types of retaliation damage in a much worse postion.
And still removing flat pierce damage from constellation (though i see the reasons behind it in view of coming Nocturnis builds etc) hurt faction-gear piercing newbie friendly builds. Building a pierce build for new players has gotten a harder task now.
Yeah thatās one of a few changes in the patch that can really hurt a build, and iām not too fond of them at this point in development cycle. i think itās because conduit are designed to support niche builds, and this bonus was a little too generic.
Nope, not like this one. It adds 8 new items but respecs far too many. Iām ok with optimizations but Z respecs same items again and again and again. Nerf, nerf, buff, nerf, buff, nerf etc. If some builds are underperforming just make some new items or affixes for them. If some builds are overperfoming but aināt broken just leave them be.

Except he didnāt make any point, just complained. well I suppose i wouldnāt bother anymore if only i could remember how to ignore a forum user 
So instead of fixing weaker items, just add new ones? Sounds like a fantastic way of diluting the loot pool with hordes of shit and creating a pointlessly inordinate amount of extra work for the devs.
