Nyt om næste patch - 2.4.1

Første spæde indblik i patch 2.4.1 er nu tilgængeligt.

Det er ikke meget, men lidt har også ret. Informationen om næste patch drejer sig hovedsageligt om, hvordan Blizzard tilpasser Barbarians og Wizard i group-play, og hvordan der laves ændringer for Legendary Gem Taeguk.

We’ve been hard at work on our next patch, which is going to bump us up to version 2.4.1. We’ll have our official PTR patch notes available soon, but we’d like to call out a few specific changes and talk about the philosophy that went into making them.

First, we’ve been looking at the prevalence of Barbarians in group play beyond Greater Rift 80 and how they’re being used. While many classes bring party-based buffs, the damage reduction of Ignore Pain – Mob Rule combined with Pride of Cassius is currently a clear outlier. As a result, we’re reducing the party benefit of Ignore Pain – Mob Rule from 50% to 25%. To ensure this doesn’t harm the overall viability of group play, we’re also reducing the damage of monsters at high Greater Rifts. This allows not only groups with Barbarians to remain near the same levels in terms of incoming damage, but it affords alternative group compositions greater survivability.

Next up, Wyatt had recently posted a bit about Taeguk. We are making some significant changes to Taeguk, as well as some other Legendary Gems.

First up, for Taeguk:

Taeguk will now only work for channeled powers
Taeguk will now stack more quickly, but also drop off more quickly. The maximum is now ten stacks, and you’ll now lose the stack after 1.5 seconds instead of 3 seconds
The Armor % component of Taeguk has been changed to 2% per stack

The idea here is that Taeguk will complement those moments when you’re channeling and need an extra boost. You probably won’t have Taeguk up all the time, but it won’t hurt as much when your stacks fall off as you’ll build them up much more quickly. And while the Armor % reduction will affect survivability, the reduced monster damage at higher Greater Rifts will help to balance this out. We’ll have much more to share soon on changes to other gems, which will help to make as many gems as possible work as reasonable substitutes for Taeguk.

Finally, we are changing both Twisted Sword and Solanium. What we’ve seen from group compositions is a playstyle based around Wizards spamming Energy Twister, while the group spams Health Globe generation. We’ve received a ton of feedback on these, and we agree completely that manipulation of the generation of health globes is not good for the game. Here’s what we’re changing:

Solanium is getting an internal cooldown (ICD) of 8 seconds
Twisted Sword is getting a cap at 5 Energy Twisters

This means a couple of things for users of these items. For Solanium users, you’ll still be able to generate additional health globes, but this removes any possibility of the current health globe spamming mechanics moving forward. For Twisted Sword users, Wizards who use the skill in the course of their normal playstyle shouldn’t see much of a change. However, the exponential scaling made possible by Energy Twister spamming won’t be possible anymore.

In short, you should be able to play support builds, and your Wizard should feel powerful. What we found with both of the above cases, though, is a negative effect on group dynamics and class playstyle. We’ll be taking all of your feedback during PTR to ensure we’ve hit our goals here. And, of course, thanks for all of your feedback on Patch 2.4.0.

>> KildeOg så tyder alt på, som det plejer at være tilfældet, at patchen kommer på PTR snart - mens Season 5 kører på sine sidste uger. Den endelige patch kommer dog ikke, før Season 5 er overstået. Dvs. at vi, som det plejer at være, får den nye patch umiddelbart nogle dage før den næste season.

We won't be dropping the live 2.4.1 patch mid-season. The PTR patch will most likely be happening while Season 5 is still active, but that of course won't affect any of your Season 5 heroes.

Ændringen af Teaguk er fuldstænding som jeg forventede, men jeg er i tvivl om hvordan de har rent praktisk ændrer den.

Pt forøger rank hvor mange stacks den gem kan få, og hver rank giver 0.5% damage. Antaget at den fremover kun kan stacke 10 gange, kan man vel antage at den istedet kommer til at øge damage per stack med 0,05% per rank (0,5% samlet efter 10 stacks).

Dertil kommer at den idag også stacker armor op, og det bliver ændret til 2% med max 10 stacks. Men her er lidt af en kicker - i dag stacker armor lige så højt som damage, og ved rank 25 hvor det unlockes stacker den til 22,5% samlet svarende til de 20% som de 10 stacks vil give ca. De 2% lader nemlig til at blive det eneste defensive boost, og dermed afhænger meget af nedskaleringen af monster damage igen, igen for at gøre op for tabet af den defensive stat - eller vil vi måske se at den får 0,05% per stack til begge dele fortsat?

Det er en farlig vej at gå, da det igen betyder at vi ender i en GR-grænse der hedder at man ikke klarer den fordi monstre slår dig ihjel grundet 1-shots, hvis vi får så meget damage igen. Flere af de andre defensive skills er også blevet reduceret med 50% især i teams.

Jeg er ret meget i tvivl om hvor det ender med at ligge team sammensætningerne når det kommer til de høje grifts.

Første PTR notes er kommet op, og PTR'en åbnede for et par timer siden:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/20057106/patch-241-ptr-patch-notes-3-8-2016

gode ting at se der laangt om længe bliver ændret, så som Mahgda's skjold i über, og salvering af potions samt problemet med bonus bounty i akt 3 og 4.
