"10 energy per power level of enemy you freeze" this new version might not be capped per skill use. so freezing 3 enemies with one cast might =30 power.

1,2,5,20 white, blue, yellow, unique. white, blue and yellow actually vary. thats average. bosses are always 20.

bosses are base 200 energy per freeze.
white enemies are 10, blue are 20.

max energy is 10 per .1 cast time of socketed spells. (down from 1.2s.)

frost wall is 80 energy.
comet is 300. I dont know why. its still 2s cast.

Energy per skill level seems to have changed?
used to be 2% per level, its now 3%. this is a buff.

level 12 cast on freeze is +33%
Impetus is unchanged. +40% energy.

thus, versus a boss. 200 energy x 1.73=346 energy per freeze.

ya but you don't freeze bosses as often, I ran a quick t1 map with same setup I had and it was unplayable.

It just really chaps my ass. It's more game developer saying "I think you're having too much fun, and it's not the way I want you to have fun." They didn't adjust it slightly to see, they nerfed it so far into the fucking ground that I don't think sorceress even has a functioning build at all. Five days into the game, no less.

So what are my options here? Start a new char? And just hope that after I put another week into it they don't decide that that one also isn't how they want it and fuck that one too?

I've been around gaming long enough now to know this kind of heavy handed shit never ends well.

I wish they would just make respecs free during early access.

The pendulum is going to swing in both directions throughout this next 6 months and it makes no sense to create a situation to where peoples toons are bricked due to the respec cost and needing to possibly target all new gear in the process.

That was my first thought, except what do I respec to as sorc? Comet is the only thing that does damage worth a shit, and manually casting that shit isn't viable.

Cast on freeze was basically it. It's the reason fire and lightning builds aren't a thing for anyone.

I guess I could just respec into an entirely different class's skills, but what the fuck is the point of that?

the fact free respects aren't coming with these nerfs is baffling

Supposedly cast on crit is still pretty good for comet (good luck getting/having gear) but spark is supposedly pretty good.

Watching rax on twitch since he was frost and he's talking to a spark sorc and working on respecing




Edit: NM CoC got gutted too.

Yeah, I went and played War Thunder for the evening lol. Which was awesome, because I had 5 of the best games in a row I've had in a long time, including dropping a nuke. Made 250,000 silver lions in 5 games, amazing!

I am thinking of starting a minion build (Just call me Asmongold) and doing an armor/fire/minion build I've seen. But I am thinking fire minions may be next up.

Ya’ll need some chill sounding like a bunch of folders up in here.

Yes they need to adjust some respec costs, and more abilities will be adjusted. Wait until you fuckers realize a number of shit in the game literally says “coming soon” - I can’t believe they haven’t balanced it yet.

Respec should be free or far lowered I agree, but if you are in at least act 1 cruel and have above potato dps you can farm that snow bitch for 50-100k in <30 mins to take care of your gold problems and if you are higher/maps you should be banking at this point gold wise so it's not even an issue unless you literally never pick up and sell shit and that's on you. Instead of getting mad, take the time to cook some new shit while we have this period to do so. If they let builds get out of hand now they will have it even worse when it goes "live". God bless.

I does seem like a no brainer that during testing you could respec would be cheaper so lots of builds could be tested. Guess not.
