We need a level 300 Bad Breath spell that inflicts Weaken, Nerf, Imperil, Poison and MagNet on all enemies

Fixed for accuracy

So far I am become Death, destroyer of worlds. Which is pretty nice.

We'll have to see how it does on things other than hourlies.

and then.
accessory slots for monsters.
ribbons.
yay.
back to square one.

- Nerf was changed from a mish-mash of minor effects to straight -25% attack/spell damage.

Wait, so if Weaken is now up to 50% less damage for both Phys and Magic attacks, doesn't that make Nerf utterly useless? Or am I missing something?

- The Breached Armor effect now eliminates physical mitigation entirely (up from 50% reduction).
- The damage bonus from Stun and Sleep was reduced to 25%.

As a mostly DW player, I suppose this is a fair trade. Mace players on the other hand...

- Primary stat and proficiency bonuses from equipment were significantly increased.

Well, holy crap. Shadowdancer is now simply amazing, IMO. Guess I'll switch back to full Shadowdancer as opposed to a Arcanist/Shadowdancer mix, and see if the increase in mana cost is worth it.

- Infusions no longer change the damage type of your weapon. Instead, it adds an Elemental Strike effect to the main weapon that does additional damage in the corresponding element.

So, uh... Does this mean Frenzied Blows is now even more absurdly powerful in RoB? Or is the elemental strike much weaker than a regular attack?

Also, damn it, a change in trophy ratios after two of my large trophy dumps. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Oh well, I still got some worthwhile stuff from them, so I'll just have to look forward to my next one.

The change to Nerf is the one thing I don't like about this patch. I just can't see why I'd want to stack it with Weaken when I can cast Weaken and Silence instead. X-Nerf is still useful because it targets everything, but I prefer the previous effects of the Nerf spells.

Is there any way to grab the spell ids of spells that I haven't learned? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Only all-cast with X-Nerf which is unlocked 50 levels after Nerf and costs 6x Weaken. It needs to be tweaked if its going to survive.
We need X-versions of more of the Dep spells. At least Weaken and Imperil, maybe Poison.

We could also use some boosts to OC gains and/or build-based modifiers to Skill costs. This will be essential once we have more than 1 Skill in each tier.

Could've sworn you said "We need X-versions of more of the Derp spells. At least Weaken and Imperil, maybe Poison."

Spells that changed:

Imperil: ID → 2012, image → m_imperil
Blind: ID → 2031
MagNet: ID → 2032
Weaken: ID → 2011

I don't have Poison/Sleep/Confuse/Silence/Lifestream so I can't vouch for them.

Okay, Ribbons only drop from IWBTH DwD (2% chance). (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Nope. Now it suck shit... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Well I just went through "To Kill a God" using only four greater mana potions, due to having to cast half as many offensive spells and almost never having to heal. This is a great improvement over when I ran through it a couple days back.

Well this really rocks for you 100+ guys, but I am only level 57 and now I am just getting freaking shat on. All my hard work is out the window now and I have no idea what to do.

I can't even survive through arenas now. I'll have protect and shadow veil on casting cure every other turn and I still get smacked down every time. Someone will crit for 600-800 while every other monster hits for 150+ and I get killed! There is NOTHING I can do about it. I can't even play now. Every hourly I am in, I get killed, I can't complete an arena battle, I can't even go through grindfest. It is ridiculous! What am I supposed to do? I use light armor I just dropped a bunch of money on a really great scythe (great to me at least- it's superior balanced lvl168) and all I do is get killed.

Someone please throw me a bone here. Do I invest in heavy armor now? Should I change my weapon?

Infusions

- Infusions no longer change the damage type of your weapon. Instead, it adds an Elemental Strike effect to the main weapon that does additional damage in the corresponding element.

Anyone know if this is affected by EDB or profs?

... and how much exactly is this 'additional damage' and what it's based on?

Here's one: weaken in your (only) friend. Just have it 5x and put on every monster before you do anything (except haste). Of course, the more monsters, the more cumbersome it gets, but that simply means avoiding too long grindfest, and sticking to arenas and hourlies - but on higher difficulty than what you were playing without weaken. Higher difficulty = less weakens you have to cast per exp gained.

By the time you hit crowded rounds you should have spark of life (100+)

Someone please throw me a bone here.

Lower the difficulty. Unless you're getting hit for 800 damage on Easy, in which case that's a big problem.

My new magic. I like it.

Once more the answer to the problem is:
