Hey guys, today I discuss when I believe patch 2.3 and Season 4 will launch. Based on blue posts and previous history, the absolute earliest for S4 will be August 14th and we'll know by July 27th if that's the case, but I think we're looking at the beginning of September. Enjoy & discuss!
I know this whole discussion is pointless, because it will be released when "it's done". This usually means waiting a lot of time, but I am in your boat right now. Everything doing right now seems totally pointless and pales in comparison to what you could do in 2.3. So:
Although I figured it would be august 14th, with the new ptr patch upcoming I dont see blizzard ready before the estimate. Unless they wanne rush ptr to live with only few weeks to test. I know blizzard aknowledged that this duration is too long and that they stated minimal 4 months, however i doubt due above mentioned the release date is the 14th
Eh, I dunno. This PTR patch the major item changes are in. Yea Monk weapon is busted, Wizard set is really weird (no damage multiplers, but scales crazy with some things, and if we ignore the busted Barb WW snapshot, I believe it has the highest PTR solo GR clear - 68).
Bane of the Stricken needs to have something changed.
Reflect damage is the new Jailer, definitely needs to have something done about it (in high GR you basically have to skip RD now).
We'll see, I have faith. Just depends on how these new sets work out. Change to sader belt makes it garbage unless you put Judgment on your bar, but Falling Sword good a higher damage multiplier so it might be used. Might.
I have to admit I'm amazed that Reflect is still a serious problem (if not more so) than it already is in 2.2. To be honest, from what I had read I thought it was going to be 'fixed" to reflect back elemental damage of the same type that was being done to it, implying an immunity amulet would offer a viable solution to reflect damage -is this not the case?!?
Also, just a random question in case anyone knows (since I'm on Console so am getting all my information second hand) has something been done with (1) Voracity (2) Cold Snap => two absolutely awful bosses when you are pushing 60+ Grifts, (without full lock down and/or immunity).
Nice video. Although I hope for a August 14th-28th release date. I would love to play it than, but would be awesome if it came in September. Mainly because I could take some time off to nerd out.

Reflect is the new jailer. It does more damage but is 'only' on one target at a time. However, successful grift clears are predicated on AoE damage, which hits everything. So RD is a LOT worse now. I've tested Fire UE DH and Archon Wiz pretty extensively on PTR so far, and both absolutely have to skip RD altogether. Easier for Archon Wiz. DH can sometimes waste time just popping SS and doing damage while it's up, but that's pretty much it. RD is busted. Looks like Stricken gem is being nerfed, but RD and Conduit need to be scaled down, and grifts in general need another tuning pass on the scaling. Actually they might be OK the way they are if they just nerf conduit. You won't be seeing the high clears you do now, even with the cube. As it stands though, currently conduit gives you 20-25% progress in a moderate rift on trash mobs and even elites. You won't use it on RG, but RG is super easy now anyway.
