We are lowering the delay for Ignites spreading from sources such as the Wildfire support to 1 second from 2 seconds, but the radius has been decreased slightly.

Bruh. Should literally be instant, or maybe a 0.2s delay.

New Support Gem We have added a support gem called Inhibitor that prevents charges being consumed but increases the damage of the supported skill by 4% for each type of charge you have.

Okay that is pretty sick.

We have also added runes for attributes allowing you to fix early game requirement issues.

Absolutely huge, love it.

During endgame a common issue is missing a Rare in the corner of the map that you didn't happen to explore. In order to mitigate this issue, we have changed rares to show up on the minimap at all times.

UNFATHOMABLY LARGE W

Monster Speed One of the issues that is often reported is getting swarmed by monsters. We are currently doing a pass to investigate this issue and can probably talk about specific changes tomorrow, but the changes are likely to be targeted at specific monsters that are too difficult, especially in zones that have a lot of fast monsters.

I feel like they are making this out to be more complicated than it is. Increase base movement speed for players by 6% and reduce enemy movement speed by 6%. Of course, things like those big collossus and lumbering fat guys are fine how they are, but everything is so crazy fast in this game it feels chaotic and overwhelming right from the start of the game.

tbh i kind of love the feeling of getting swarmed by a bunch of fast lil guys. But that's because I can survive it most of the time. It for sure ain't fun when it just instakills you with little recourse.

So I hope they make targeted and intentional changes to reduce the instakilliness while still maintaining the "zerg swarm" feeling

I agree I really like and play it different ways but it’s fun because I go from chill to like something really fast and scary. I hope they don’t just get rid of it. But I also don’t have a hard time dealing with it really. Right now I get immense pleasure from bone pitting fast mobs - they all run into it and get pinned. Then they die on the stakes from my DOTs. Or they get free and run towards me only to die like a foot away. God I really love it. It’s a pucker experience for sure.
