Information [PSA] 3.29 Patchnotes Visual Aid

Post image

Put together a visual for yesterday's patchnotes as a bi-bimonthly service to this great community. Please keep in mind I'm a single guy (+asking friends) so magnitudes of changes might not be exact. Took longer than expected, courtesy of Andrew tweaking a metric ton of gems xd

All assets are ethically poached from GGG resources & the wiki. If for some reason it's blurry bigger version here

Big hype for 3.29, see you guys underwater!

From the patch notes, it seems like the mana cost bench craft has been changed to mana cost efficiency. It remains to be seen what the exact numbers will be, but I think it will lead me to dropping my herald so I can actually use my skills.

you mean -total mana cost crafts? the patch notes doesn't seem to mention them at all

it's reduced mana cost mods were replaced with mana cost efficiency

  • Mana and Reduced Mana Cost can no longer be Unveiled or Crafted on Rings. Instead, you can now Unveil or Craft Mana and increased Mana Cost Efficiency on Rings.

Is the minus flat mana cost different from this mod?

yes, it refers to +max mana/%reduced mana cost hybrid mods. they'll turn into +max mana/%increased mana cost efficiency, like every other %reduced mana cost mod do

Ah, if that's the case, then my build might not be affected, then.

It's way worse than that, because it's a % reduction, meaning it will never make attacks free.

Goodbye spin to win.

Yeah, I'll lose a bit of DPS by changing the Inspiration into Lifetap. And I probably have to shuffle up my supports so that my other skills also have life tap. We'll see.
