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 future patch.
Ridiculously annoying, would have been easy to fix considering they nerfed the IAS on these items (even if it doesn't work still)
Nether Tentacles nerf is also annoying. Ias on weapons was a bad bad move, doesn't affect me, but if it did I would be raging.
Existing Legendary items will be addressed in future patch.
They fixed NEW items, not the ones we have already. Good work on the reading.
Which means i don't have any understanding of time.
Derp?
I take back the question mark, you're pretty thick. A "future patch" means nothing, that could be in 6 months. They said the bugged items would be fixed in this patch and they lied, nowhere did they say the fix wouldn't be retroactive until today. This issue could have been hotfixed weeks ago.
One of Blizzard's biggest fault's is that they often over communicate. They talk about thing's before they have had a chance to fully understand the scope or impact. I would imagine it's a way to deal with the mostly craptastic vocal community. Regardless though, they open mouth and insert foot all the time. They tell us things will happen then realize there is a technical limitation or other issue and then things don't happen. Shame on them for continuing this trend but equally shame on everyone who keeps being surprised, angry, disappointed when it continues to happen.
Anyway...i will ask a real question to everywhere, the qq'ers, the fanboys, and the neutral-guys.
The whole point in the Diablo 3 franchise was doing certain builds work under certain conditions...(Infinity sorc come to mind in d2).....why they didn't make the other stats more appealing rather than nerfing ias to the ground ?. I don't want to "Balance" everything in my character, i want to make the build i want. Be it 50%+ crit, 500%+ crit dmg, insane IAS, etc. Why i can't have my little sandbox of stats to play with ?
FFS
IAS is still REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
its like you guys cannot think at all.
Again, IAS is STILL A REALLY GOOD STAT.
Just not a completely broken must have.
.
it's still a must have for almost every class, especially for monks/barbs with life on hit which means their goal of IAS not being a mandatory stat failed right on its face.
"Must have"?
Thats funny.
I get by just fine with just Frenzy and + crits, and this was pre damage nerf. (aka, now monsters do LESS damage)
Revenge and Dred give me health boosts, I have some life on hit, but exactly 0 IAS.
Your determination of "must have" seems kinda sketchy here......
If you can honestly say you think this is a quality game for the year that we live in, you are delusional.
Forgive me for expressing an opinion I feel I have a right to, not only as a consumer but a long time Blizz gamer.
Am I the only one who finds those two sentences back to back amazingly hypocritical? In one sentence you generalize all people who disagree with you by saying if you like D3 you are "delusional" and in the second sentence you attempt to garner sympathy for your opinion by being insincerely apologetic about your opinion. You aren't sorry you think the game is crap. If you are genuinely sorry about anything it's that people don't mindlessly pander to your specific point of view. You don't like something while other people do. Except your opinion is "right" and deserves to be heard while anyone who disagrees is "delusional" Well played, Troll. Well played.
I didn't state that if you liked the game you are delusional. I said if you think this is a quality game, considering Blizz track record, the time they had for development, the resources in man-power, $$ and blueprints from other successful games, then you are delusional. Hope that clarifies.
Also, if you understand that it's a personal opinion there is no need to get so bent out of shape.
Right, I do understand it's a matter of personal opinion. It certainly would not be considered factual for one person to say that they think a game is quality. So to clarify what you said, twice now, if a person has an opinion about the game other than what you believe, they are delusional.
Got it. Thanks for clarifying kiddo
No, I honestly don't think you got it. If their opinion is specifically about the quality of the game and that it is up to Blizz standards then they are delusional. What's so hard to understand?
I take back the question mark - I have no patience or understanding of time, so i will perpetually whine like a under-developed child screaming for ice cream until this matter is fixed!
Patience? Are you serious? I've been patient for a month - And now i have to learn the harsh truth of that not everything that is promised is set in stone! This is an outrage! And you call me an underdeveloped child when you can't even be bothered to make an effort to make a counter-argument to my perpetual whining!
Stop embarrassing yourself. And reported for trolling.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.
-seigebreaker now has reflect? there goes the best farming spot....
SB was never the best farming spot, Cydea/Azmo is. If you can't kill SB now because he has reflect then you shouldn't have been able to in the first place.
Your point? Blizz has said all along that they will nerf abilities/stats that they deem to be OP. IAS in its current state was OP and was far more valuable than many other stats, that's why it was nerfed. I guess you may need to buy some gear that has a bit of survivability now, so sad.
Again, your point? They're trying to discourage death zergs, don't you see how many of these changes are tied together? They don't want glass cannon builds that get one shot by anything to predominate.

The fact that you are now trying to qualify your statement in an attempt to change it's context notwithstanding, you are still saying the exact same thing I have pointed out thrice now. Let's make this stupidly simple. I, Mutilate24 think that this is a quality game. By any standards; Blizzard, day and age, it being a Tuesday, etc. You, HSdaGosu, disagree with that opinion and in doing so would call me delusional. So, by the power of the transverse property, Grayskull, and what has been vested in me by the state in which I live, you are still saying that anyone who disagrees with you is delusional!
Not really sure how else I can explain it. Enough derail though. Let's let this thread get back on topic.

Food for thought - You want someone to take you seriously? Post constructively - Don't swear, don't cry - Just state the fact of the problem. Just observe the facts that everything will be alright - that this is not the end of the world. Then we'll talk.
My original post had no swearing in it, and I wasn't crying, yet you started to troll me anyway.
Honestly, yes, this patch is pretty terrible. The game hasn't been super fun the last few days and this might just be the nail in the coffin for me. I can't believe they didn't fix the legendary/set items that have had broken IAS for forever.
What was wrong with my post exactly? And what makes you think you had the right to start trolling me?

No, I honestly don't think you got it. I tried to troll you - But you somehow disproved my point - So now i must go at it again - Because i failed the first time.

You should take your own advice. Going around calling people trolls, quoting and changing the words to poke fun at others yet offering up nothing when people do post something constructive that you don't agree with.
DH still have ball lightning rune which functions like former NT (even better I think as the radius is a bit bigger as far as I remember) except for the healing part. So what's the big deal with NT nerf?
Ball Lightning does 77.5% damage per hit wich makes it on par on the new NT on Elites/Whites
(Ball can still hit 3 times or more on "some" bosses wich will make it better than new NT on bosses)
Don't know about actual numbers - tooltip says it does 155% damage which is the same as NT.
As barb, I went from 20k DPS to 15k. Thankfully I stacked a bit of crit in addition to IAS.
I facerolled an Asmodan run. I didn't die one, nor get close to dying after killing 5 elites, then Cydaea and Asmodan. After hunting and killing 6 additional rare packs in Keep Depths 1-3, I still didn't get close to dying. I fight 2 champ packs at the same time at one point.
I can tank and stand in plague and molten patches, and fire chains as long as I am attacking and getting LoH. I didn't even worry about being dinged by arcane beams, only if the source balls spawned directly beneath me.
I'll kind of miss the challenge, but at the same time, I can now begin to experiment with different builds and gear stat configurations now that I can afford to be more offensive. I've already swapped out 2 of my vit gems for strength.
Fighting additional packs after Azmodan runs makes things a bit more interesting, and a bit more rewarding as well. It also makes things more adjustible in terms of how long I want to play for a session.
IAS truly was overpowered; now it is on a par with crit stacking and feels right. After browing the AH and getting a modest upgrade for my previous IAS weapon, weapons seem a whole lot more balanced, and with more variety. In particular, weapons with more interesting affixes like damage bonus to elites and chance to immobilize are mixed in with others among the top items in various price tiers.
Here's a link to the weapon I picked up: http://i.imgur.com/qvWBV.jpg Has a whole lot of character to it in my opinion. The increased elite damage makes it behave like a 950 DPS weapon against such enemies, while the immobilize chance gives an interesting ability. Can't beat the name "Silver Standard" either
The increased repairs suck. I don't mind Inferno being hard (Witch Doc) and I don't have the stomach to grave yard zerg, but when I am trying to honestly make an attempt at progress, I am chewing through my gold like crazy. The dying is frustrating enough - and I can handle that part - but I really dislike that I have to farm even more of the previous acts just so that I can attempt progression.
I can handle all the other changes, but this one, I hate.
The hardcore players and the gold farmers destroyed this game, now it became unplayable for me and other casual players because it takes forever to find good playable stuff, and this nonsense farming is just plain stupid. This game will lost 99% of it population in one year or even more
Let's see... DHs have been overpowered as all fuck since day 1 and now they finally get hit pretty hard by the nerf bat. Of course, DHs are whining all over the forums about they do "NO DAMANGE AT ALL" when in reality, they're just being brought back into line with all the other 4 classes in D3.
Oh god most overpowered class brought in line with the rest; I must create a QQ post. Maybe you'll actually have to learn to play the game a bit now instead of just rolling your face on the keyboard on Siegebreaker with Nether Tentacles.

Of course you do.
Of course you do.
No, it's not. They smoothed out the damage which helps *all* classes, not just your OP stupidly geared DH.
