Are you on PTR? I installed it but the fucking queue times got to me.
Anyone on PTR play with the Arachyr changes?

PTR I had no problems using. But, I was only playing T8 to test out builds and game play, not push gifts.
Didn't try out Arachyr, wd probably my least favorite class. Still up in the air what classes to play next season. Crusader looks interesting but they keep nerfing thorns the wrong way.
My buddy who loves Crusader (I don't know, pretty sure he is partially retarded) was trying it out on PTR the other night. He was wasting shit. He says the LoN nerf brought it down but it's still strong.

That sounds like the 800% -> 100% change. The devs admitted to purposefully making the first iteration of LoN completely bonkers. But even at 100%, it's still a problem because while regular thorns damage can't crit, when it's added to abilities like Bombardment and Steed, it can. So LoN/Bombard/Steed thorns is outperforming Invokers thorns, but they nerf both? Just seems wrong.
I love crusader too, actually played a bit this season. Really looking forward to the changes. I'm avoiding PTR updates and player iterations because I want to try to build it without any influence.

Why all the effort instead of removing it and fixing other things. For instance some abilities even needing a 40,000% buff to be viable should stand out.
Any buff to largely unused abilities is a step in the right direction. The PTR should be an ongoing thing fleshing all that out.
Thorns just seems like this Meh defensive mechanic they are forcing into being an offensive ability. And its viable for what? Just the crusader?

Ya life on kill equally annoying.
And I get the thing with impale but it just goes to show you how far out of whack a lot of this shit is for being even close to viable.
They have their own internal way I'm sure to see what abilities flat out arent being used.
Why not buff them up with PTR patches regularly and change things until everything works out better? Some people love playing around and making builds on PTR. That's free testing resources as far as I'm concerned.
