Diablo III - General Discussion Thread

[VindicatoR]

Bug Fixes
Elemental Arrow
Skill Rune – Nether Tentacles
Tentacles will now only hit each target once

Bosses
Siegebreaker
Overall damage has been reduced
No longer vulnerable to Confuse and Charm effects
Will now drop a health globe every 25% health mark (i.e. at 75%, 50%, and 25% health)
Now enrages after 4 minutes
In Inferno difficulty, Siegebreaker will now gain the Reflects Damage affix

It's going to be fun trying Siegebreaker later today. :P

Bug Fixes
-Players wearing +Life on Kill items should no longer receive a benefit from this affix when "killing" friendly monsters (e.g. when a witch doctor re-summons a Spider Queen while another Spider Queen is still active)
-Fixed a bug with linking items with socketed gems in chat

So they did actually fix the linking issues and lol @ the hydra bug being fixed now as well.

+ Attack Speed bonus values on weapons and armor have been reduced by 50%

Wow that is massive!

Fixed a position desync bug (aka "rubberbanding") that could happen when some movement skills (Strafe, Whirlwind, Tempest Rush) ended because the player ran out of the appropriate resource

I really really really hope that fixes my teleport wormhole bug, where I sometimes jump back halfway across the map 30 seconds after casting the spell.

Rank 7 - Square: 85 gold (down from 7500 gold)
Rank 8 - Flawless Square: 100 gold (down from 20,000 gold)

Lots of people are going to very pissed rightfully because of this enormous change.

Legendary items with the +Attack Speed bonus will now correctly provide a bonus to attack speed
Please note that this fix will only affect new Legendary drops. Existing Legendary items will be addressed in a future patch.

That is really stupid. It's a legitimate bug, they should fix it on all of the items, not just on the new ones.

Jeez I never noticed the Nether Tentacles Bug, with a DH you die so quickly. Tried many builds but still getting killed in inferno is pretty easy. Now I decided to stay on a high dps build as it is one in the same wether you try resistance or life you just get klapped by elites.

Yea there are a few people testing out tank DH builds, but the majority still reports you only increase it to being able to take 2 hits instead of 1.

They did mentioned fixing current Legendary IAS in 1.0.4(no ETA), which is good I guess.

Also loads of bugs popping up on US side after patch: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4916972036

Is this really THE Blizzard developing this game?

[Isengard]

The attack speed nerf has me rather worried. As a Monk my outright DPS isn't very high compared to Wizard or Barb so I rely heavily on doing more attacks per second to make up for the lower damage I do.

I guess I'll see how bad it is tonight, but I'm not really happy with the change.

Agreed it is basically useless trying a tank build on a DH, so I am trying to up my dps now sitting on 61k atm but need to farm a bit more and see if I can up that even further....

The Blizzard we know was slain by Activision and the Greed Prime. RIP Blizzard.

I made it to act 2 inferno last nigh. I'm so glad that they are nerfing act 2 though because even the normal mobs there hit crazy hard!

As for the patch, well I'm happy about the changes they are making. Luckily I haven't been concentrating on increased attack speed.
