I think it's a lie. edit: and my DPS is down by a little north of 30%. maybe if hydra really works with crit now I can get it back though, I already switched to Arcane orb so maybe I can get it back. Hydra was already affected by crit before the patch. The patch addressed crit affecting dots like the wd's haunt to my understanding. | ||

42k -> 32k. Luckily IAS wasnt loaded into my weapon, so I still have a 1300 dps 1200-1600 weapon. On June 20 2012 02:07 Skyro wrote: Hydra was already affected by crit before the patch.

I had thought this would happen from the beginning, I think we will find that any nerfs to inferno are more psychological than realized. and that to me, is what they set out to do. | ||

So instead of fixing the actual problem they punish all players, yep, that sounds about right. Hey, bots are farming gold in NM, so we need to remove gold from monsters ASAP. Bots are also farming elites for items, it's unfortunate, but i'll guess they have to go too, right? On a side note, i lol'ed hard when i saw the 3 minute enrage on belial, the entire community hates enrage timers and what Blizzard do? ''we double it'', just pathetic. | ||

This would be nice. I think it means the 4th and 5th stacks were the two rares. Now the first rare isn't guaranteed anymore. Doing a Kulle run to see what happens. So far, I've noticed ~30-40% damage reduction from typical trash mobs (A2 Inferno Kulle) 5kish down from 8kish. | ||

Right now, that idiot is you. But I'm sure you could do it right? I heard Blizz is hiring right now, why don't you go show them how to do it. | ||

Arcane orb only gets 1/4th the LoH bonus, so it really doesn't work out as nicely as it does in theory. My saving grace with reflect damage mobs is to burn them down fast enough to get their health globes. + diamond skin. 35k hp, 42k dps, 500 resists, 5000 armor, so I am at least adequate for my A2 farming. A3 more or less goes back to lol 1-3 shotting =\ Just buy some cheap life regen gear. Chest can have over 550 life regen and I believe amulets can also have a lot. Not sure if reflect damage is mitigated by armor/resists but I have slightly over 1k life regen on my life regen set (just swap into your life regen gear when you meet reflect mobs) and reflect mobs are no problem. This is with me going to town with hydra + blizzard + MM. Life regen is so underrated for wizards atm. LoH is pretty bad for wizards (most wizard skills only gain a small % of LoH) but life regen scales so well with how wizards currently gear with low vit but high mitigation. It is useful in many areas of the game, not just vs reflect mobs (i.e. on certain phases in boss fights where you aren't dps'ing and just running around you can swap in life regen gear). Relatively speaking wizards shouldn't be complaining because LoH items are sooooo much more expensive than life regen gear. | ||

Arcane hydra crit, what about he non projectile hydras? Pretty sure venom hydra never crit. Yes I tested it and it has been tested by others. It doesn't show yellow numbers because venom hydra damage is "continuous." The damage you see on screen is just an "update" of how much damage it did in that .5 second interval, in which many crits occured mixed in with many non-crits. The same applys to Blizzard and other continual damage spells like the beam-type spells. edit: It's kinda of funny that my early tests of Blizzard (whose damage I found was not affected by IAS) is what led me to stacking crit intead of IAS. I had no idea the hit on IAS was going to be this hard though. | ||

However, I doubt I could ever recoup 34k repairs every couple kulle runs due to retarded mob affixes that pop up every now and then (lol imp and brood spiders with fire chains and crap) | ||
