I was very excited about the HotA damage buff but then I read this,
Skill Rune - The Devil's Anvil
Proc coefficient reduced from 1 to 0.08
Who else thinks this nerf was a bit heavy handed? I enjoy the Anvil build despite the superiority of the tronado build, to me nothing screams "Barbarian" more then being able to spam a giant hammer into the faces of your enermies.
From 1 down to 0.08 is too harsh imho, I would've been be ok with a 30% proc rate. Anyone else feels the same way?
Yeah, it's disappointing to see it go that low. My barb was enjoying that build aswell since it was essentially the poor-man's tornado spec. They also took crushing advance (aka the LoH machine) down to no proc, but increased damage reflect. I would assume (looking at all the proc changes in every class) they really want to get away from the passive LoH proc'ing and get players to take a more active approach to doing damage and healing themselves.
I'll wait and see how the patch notes shake into reality before I go decrying the loss too much. Right now I am much more concerned with trying new builds on all my characters than I am keeping old ones.
I really enjoyed the Anvil build though and was looking forward to trying it out with a 2h, now looks like I have to invest more into fury reduction gear to make it work.
yeah the nerf to Crushing Advance is also disappointing. Again they could've just tone down the proc rate to a reasonable number other then remove it all together. Now its kinda useless - again too heavy handed imho.
After check rest of proc chances changes it seems to me more a typo than the real change. Maybe is 1 ---> 0.8. Would be more similar with rest of changes.
I doubt its a type - and I really wonder why they didnt nerf the proc co on sprint tornadoes??? ... seem to nerf every other proc coh except for them. Seriously ...
I didnt care about all the dbl tornado peeps as long as I could play with my anvil build ... now this wont work ...
With the new Stone of Jordan, Skull ring and a shield with max HotA fury reduction, we can potential still pull off the Anvil build.
