RIP nado wizz for real this time
I'm a wizard player and I welcome this fix to the Energy Twister. Good job, Blizz.
Now, let's just also buff Vyr, so it actually becomes the best set to play Archon with, as it should be and make Etched Sigil able to proc Tal Rasha and Firebird and you can call it a day for the wiz. I don't think you would have any wiz player complaining about anything by doing these small changes, as they would open a world of possibilities.
Talking about other classes....crusader and barb need whole lotta love, bitch doctor needs caster builds buffs and/or at least some AI fix for pets or maybe a small cooldown for recasting the pets...or at least give Jade set some dmg reduction mechanic so it's playable at the highest level and all the bitch doctor players would love you as well.
Monks have been hit hard with the latest changes to several of their runes, you should try and compensate that as well.
That Tornado nerf is pretty hardcore, but probably needed.
Since the patch I'm having random kicks off the game,and I'm also getting stuck in the loading screen.
So they didn't change the monk belt, loool, monk again are crap
I am telling about one thing, another clases can make over gr90+, without caldrisian thing, monks with all gear ancient and things like that can make 86 (ATM on leaderboards).... So what i mean is, the diferences of clases are wizzards and DH solo can make much better and thats why a lot of people have been changing clases, thats no mean they are not playing with monk, but the main toon is now another not the monk and the reason is that monks are not competitives with other clases right now....
