Such a direct answer, not.

So it doesnt work I guess, I havent played a summoner yet.

No, it does work. Its just every summoner is not smart enough to use it and you are genius.

[REMOVED]

So there goes all hope of Cleave actually being buffed enough to make it useful again for racing.

So done with this game, what is this half-assed mini-"buff"? Just to be able to tick it off your to-do list?

People have been asking for a Cleave buff for ages and this is what you came up with? Still less damage effectiveness than Reave?

Why are you doing this? I don't understand, you could probably double the damage of cleave and it still wouldn't be on par with shit like Flameblast or Leap Slam for racing, but instead you give us this joke of a buff that makes zero difference... zero.

If you're going to buff skills, please for the love of god, buff them in a meaningful way to make them useful and not just for the sake of buffing them... jesus.

completely unhappy with these changes.

All i see is an overall difficulty nerf. From checkpoints to invasion bosses nerf. Very first patch i totally dislike

Do you think you could have one patch where you don't nerf the shit out of something? I'm done with this shit, you guys are hopless... No idea why I thought anything would change, and the 'buff' to cleave ahahahah, beyond words...

This is why this game is and will forever be in an absolute state of failure until the trading situation is improved.


Not impressed, trading is still the most abhorrent activity in this game by far.


For me, every patch = poo/garbage/steamy pile.


Don't care if you ban, censor this post or me.




Should have been the first thing addressed after the game went live.

Regarding Summoners...

Barring PvP I suppose, Smoke Mine is a completely worthless skill. Smoke Mine had one niche use, teleporting minions, something I would say should not have been removed, and what's more, added to Lightning Warp. For that matter, if you Leap Slam, minions should follow you as well.

Minion snap-shotting needs to be removed and along with this Specters need to be more hearty and persisted through logging in and out. Furthermore, we need to be able to assign and presist a monster type to the Specter gem. This way when the Specter dies you can summon exactly what you want/need/geared for from any corpse. Let's face it. Everyone gears for a certain Specter, and said setup doesn't work with any random monster. You need to change the current mechanics because they don't work. It requires snap-shotting and running zones for no other reason than to find the proper monster to begin playing. I mean, really? Come on. Can't we just log in and play?

Playing as a Summoner, there are not enough Hot Keys. Curse, Bone or Flesh offering, Skeleton, Zombie, Specter, Totem, is 6 six. Run all auras on a 7th. What if you are dual curse, want to use Lightning Warp, a Portal gem, and/or throw Arc or other lightning skill for shock stacks? Something has to go.

as a fairly tanky summoner that uses leap slam to be first in and using smoke mine offensively, i really enjoyed playing the summoner this way.
Specially for being able to leap up a cliff and just collect my minions made life so simple. Also being able to leap over a pack and kill those totems that make monsters immune, instead of waiting 5 minutes for minions to keep attacking imortal monsters :/.
I think taking away smoke mine just makes the build frustrating as hell to play in some situations.

Pretty sweet patch as usual.

Although, one thing really bugs me..

Who comes up with these ideas when making patch updates??! It's honestly hard to tell if it's the 2% of players complaining "this is op" or GGG developers that dont play their own game.

- Smoke mine nerf, even though I've never used it, I can clearly understand why guys are pissed since minions are constantly getting stuck when indoors. Smoke mine is supposed to teleport the player to make an escape and clearly minions are part of the player.

- Evangelist nerf is a double edge sword. Good for non summoners and solo players but bad for summoners that depend on the needed defenses provided since items and skill tree mods are becoming less viable for builds every new patch.

- Vaal orb drop rate reduction was uncalled for. Besides the fact that they barely drop as it is, those orbs were the best way for people to craft their own gears (or gamble) without having to spend hours trying to trade with other players and argue down currency values let alone items.

- Checkpoints....ABOUT TIME!!! This is well needed for many of us that get random disconnects from the game, while being in the middle of a area trying to find a waypoint. Lag and desync makes this change a blessing.


Other than rogue exiles using vaal skills(which damn well wont require them to "charge" up the souls needed.) the rest of the patch seems fine. but I got the feeling that like most buffs there will be a nerf to the same things within 1 or 2 patches later which defeats the purpose. Chris and other GGG staff, please take a vote / tally from actual players about skills / items BEFORE nerfing them.

These patches turn fun into frustration with trying to make viable builds without following some random guy's "guide" or whatever is popular at the time.
