Video games reviews and retrospective, mostly RPG because i love them and mmos if they are good. I talk about upcoming games, and mods, and sometimes lore about the Forgotten Realms, because why not.

Greetings, Folks, I come bearing good news and bad news. I’ll start with the good news: this is my first community post. And now onto the bad news: the next balance patch is in beta. It’s a lot of nerfs, and I mean a lot, AND it introduces diminishing returns with stat stacking; after 20 points it starts, then they get a lot worse after 40. So as you can imagine, if confirmed, several builds are now either bricked or no bueno entirely.


Furthermore, Gear also got sweeping nerfs across the field of crit chance; some items got spread, others, well, not so much. Now I have no idea when this patch will go live, and yes, I know a few people requested and suggested builds, but it will take me forever to fix this lol:



Death Knight V2 (Blackguard): OK, melee chads rise up!
Dual Wield Build: GIGA DEAD, probably not salvageable. Went from over 10k to 4k crit and 55% crit chance lol
Warrior V3 or V4: Heavy warrior, OK, a little crit loss, but will need an update at some point.
Wizard V2: Crucible Sorc Not OK; have to change chest, crit too low.
Warlock: OK, but crit loss + several spells now have negative crit chance (lol?).
Stealth Archer V2: Deadeye - DEAD needs changes.
Summoner V3: Necromancer Bomber OK (I love my exploding baby).
Arondight Build: More than OK (still a freaking monster)
BEASTMASTER: DEAD needs rework or bow change
DUAL SHIELDS: DEAD needs reworks, the magical version is not as strong as a pure physical now even more, so remake needed
Knight V2 (TANK): Not dead but desperately need an update now
Peasant's Wrath V2 – Reaper: Needs an update
Frost: needs update or rework
Monk v2 (flaming fist): Not dead, but needs an update
Berserker V2 (Titanium Tonic) DEAD, it’s really bad.
Wizard Slayer: Not dead but requires gear changes or rework
Daggers V2 - Rogue: DEAD requires a full rework. Crit is too low now.
Bleed fire bow—DEAD, needs rework

Spellblade v2 - Tidepiercer Needs update desperately
Battlemage V2 - Arcane blade Needs rework it's a little old

I hope you are all doing well, and i will see you in the next community nerf post!
