SO....GGG said they weren't going to nerf specs till new league. Pushing Stealth Hotfixes??

I'm kinda amazed, but not amazed at the same time...These developers seemed too good to be true. Let's start with the fact that there are a bunch of specs that can one shot bosses. Look no further than the spark specs that run the no hit SEKA runs to get Temporalis and tons of other builds.

GGG said they weren't going to nerf builds until the new league in recent interviews. Based on this I decided to make a certain build. This build has been working awesome and I've been having a ton of fun with GGG's game...until about 2 hours ago....

There is only one explanation for what happened to my character, GGG pushed out a stealth hotfix nerf. Previous to whatever action was taken by GGG, my character had no issues the past month killing most bosses very fast. Today, about 2 hours ago I died to a map boss who just wouldn't die. I put this down as a bug and continued on mapping. I then noticed the mini bosses in maps weren't dying as fast either. I decided that killing t4 breach boss was the best test of whether i had been nerfed as I have been easily farming this guy like 10's of thousands of other players with strong builds of all kinds. I only got him to 85% in the 1st minute and logged before I died again as I'm now level 97 and didn't want to lose more XP.

How are we suppose to trust indie game developers who:

1. Say they aren't going to nerf builds until the next league, so players flock into overpowered builds....then....

2. stealth nerf builds without telling people resulting in bad feelings, mistrust, player deaths, XP loss, and currency loss.

My build is invoker bonecage/icewall cast on dodge.

Honestly just takes the wind out of my sails. how do i kill a boss now? i think i should just quit the game.

Not surprised. They can't help themselves. Just wait until they nerf everything into the ground, but don't buff all the useless trash.

They're just going to keep making each league harder and harder to progress until everyone quits.

What was the hot fix? Is it posted? How did it affect you?

Sorry for all the questions, ty.

What build are you running?

Im a little confused on my end, i did a xesht +4, ice strike monk, and the fight was like, 20 seconds longer than usual, and my dps looked alot lower, curious on what build youre running because ive a sneaky suspicion bell might have been nerfed

from the patch notes

Hitting inanimate objects, such as Ice Crystals, Tempest Bell or Vine Arrow plants, can no longer cause your trigger skills to generate energy.

ow dam that explains why my dps seems lower.

alot of builds use cast on shock / cast on dodge to retrigger the spells.
