In der vergangenen Nacht hat sich Community Manager Kauza in den offiziellen Battle.Net Foren von Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls zu Wort gemeldet und dort in einem Bluepost eine kurze Vorschau auf den für diesen Titel kommenden Patch 2.4.1 veröffentlicht. Dieses neue Update für Blizzards Action-Rollenspiel soll bereits in nächster Zeit auf den öffentlichen Testserver von Diablo 3 aufgespielt werden, weshalb die Entwickler die Spielerschaft bereits im Vorfeld über einige geplante Anpassungen informieren wollten. Folgende Liste fasst alle von Community Manager Kauza aufgelisteten Änderungen aus Patch 2.4.1 kurz zusammen.

 

Einige Inhalte von Patch 2.4.1:

  • Die Rune „Einer für alle“ der Fähigkeit „Schmerzen unterdrücken“ des Barbaren soll in Zukunft allen Mitspielern nur noch eine Verringerung des Schadens von 25% gewähren.
  • Monster in höheren großen Nephalemportalen sollen etwas weniger Schaden verursachen. Somit könne Gruppen dann auch auf einen Barbaren mit „Einer für alle“ verzichten und neue Gruppen bilden.
  • Der legendäre Edelstein „Taeguk“ soll angepasst werden.
  • Einige andere legendäre Edelsteine werden ebenfalls überarbeitet.
  • Das legendäre Schwert „Das verdorbene Schwert“ wird eine Grenze von 5 Wirbeln erhalten.
  • Der legendäre Streitkolben „Solanium“ soll eine interne Abklingzeit von 8 Sekunden erhalten.

 

We’ve been hard at work on our next patch, which is going to bump us up to version 2.4.1. We’ll have our official PTR patch notes available soon, but we’d like to call out a few specific changes and talk about the philosophy that went into making them.

First, we’ve been looking at the prevalence of Barbarians in group play beyond Greater Rift 80 and how they’re being used. While many classes bring party-based buffs, the damage reduction of Ignore Pain – Mob Rule combined with Pride of Cassius is currently a clear outlier. As a result, we’re reducing the party benefit of Ignore Pain – Mob Rule from 50% to 25%. To ensure this doesn’t harm the overall viability of group play, we’re also reducing the damage of monsters at high Greater Rifts. This allows not only groups with Barbarians to remain near the same levels in terms of incoming damage, but it affords alternative group compositions greater survivability.

Next up, Wyatt had recently posted a bit about Taeguk. We are making some significant changes to Taeguk, as well as some other Legendary Gems.

First up, for Taeguk:

  • Taeguk will now only work for channeled powers
  • Taeguk will now stack more quickly, but also drop off more quickly. The maximum is now ten stacks, and you’ll now lose the stack after 1.5 seconds instead of 3 seconds
  • The Armor % component of Taeguk has been changed to 2% per stack

 

The idea here is that Taeguk will complement those moments when you’re channeling and need an extra boost. You probably won’t have Taeguk up all the time, but it won’t hurt as much when your stacks fall off as you’ll build them up much more quickly. And while the Armor % reduction will affect survivability, the reduced monster damage at higher Greater Rifts will help to balance this out. We’ll have much more to share soon on changes to other gems, which will help to make as many gems as possible work as reasonable substitutes for Taeguk.

Finally, we are changing both Twisted Sword and Solanium. What we’ve seen from group compositions is a playstyle based around Wizards spamming Energy Twister, while the group spams Health Globe generation. We’ve received a ton of feedback on these, and we agree completely that manipulation of the generation of health globes is not good for the game. Here’s what we’re changing:

  • Solanium is getting an internal cooldown (ICD) of 8 seconds
  • Twisted Sword is getting a cap at 5 Energy Twisters

 

This means a couple of things for users of these items. For Solanium users, you’ll still be able to generate additional health globes, but this removes any possibility of the current health globe spamming mechanics moving forward. For Twisted Sword users, Wizards who use the skill in the course of their normal playstyle shouldn’t see much of a change. However, the exponential scaling made possible by Energy Twister spamming won’t be possible anymore.

In short, you should be able to play support builds, and your Wizard should feel powerful. What we found with both of the above cases, though, is a negative effect on group dynamics and class playstyle. We’ll be taking all of your feedback during PTR to ensure we’ve hit our goals here. And, of course, thanks for all of your feedback on Patch 2.4.0.

  1. Bye bye Support Barb, verpiss dich und komm nie wieder du lahme Ente!

    • Da der Monsterschaden ebenfalls angepasst wird, könnte es diese Rolle zumindest in einigen Gruppen auch weiterhin geben.

      • Ich find hald kacke dass immer eine grp-kombi viel weiter is als alle anderen, so wirds hoffentlich etwas durchgemischt
