well this will basically fuck solo grifts up..
but i also think, that this will be a retarded high dps push for lighning dh in coop (with wd)
so.. coop 60+ grifts inc?
How is the dps gonna be higher if your sentries will shoot a lot slower than they used to? I don't think you can get to a breakpoint on your dh similar to 4.15 of the sentries. Even though they are making sentries deal double damage in relation to you, i'm pretty sure they sustained damage will be lower overall. Burst damage is higher sure but sustained damage will be alot lower. I don't think we will ever get to something that gets close to 5x 4.15 BL.Maybe next expansion or something.
Also, the new Hydra changes make it look like you will be able to spawn more than just 1 hydra now... Maybe 2 by default and double that with serpent sparker making it 4 in total? I hope they just make it 5 or whatever.
That'd actually make sense, they were saying they wanted more weapon choices than furnace. With this change serpent sparker might become a decent choice aswell (although it'd still need more than just this I think).
If it's true though, i can see many people raging because blizz takes away a functionality from sentries and puts them on hydras? doesn't make much sense. So my logical assumption is that hydras will now behave kind of like sentries i.e having a few charges that you can place almost all at once and having the cd on the charges. 2 hydra charges + 2 more from serpent sparker makes sense. But still, that damage nerf is too extreme... i mean wtf? I guess they only want it to be viable with firebird? I guess it will be worth a try with a zdps wd in group... 4x hydras all applying the dot etc...
On the topic of "clueless devs" not directly related to DH...
I really hope that this:
P2_ItemPassive_Unique_Ring_008 - Frenzy gains the effect of every rune.
Is not a legendary affix on one of the new belts because it might make Bastion's revered more useful but giving up on Pride of cassius (Or Chilanik's for speedruns) is just not going to work in anything serious (high gr). Pride is too good...
