New patch notes go live for Betrayal league, with some curious choices...

00:00 - 00:05 So the Betrayal patch notes went live, and we're all waiting

00:05 - 00:07 for potential buffs to true melee skills,

00:07 - 00:10 trying to bring them in line with triggers, Poets pen and kin.

00:11 - 00:16 The fake spellcaster meta had gone on too long.

00:17 - 00:21 They gutted stat sticks and left Poet's Pen untouched.

00:21 - 00:24 And arc.

00:26 - 00:28 Arc?

00:29 - 00:31 And arc!

00:31 - 00:34 Absolutely no changes for arc totems or mines!

00:38 - 00:40 And arc.

00:41 - 00:47 Oh and CoC? They're gutting it's cooldown by almost 70%, COMK as well

00:47 - 00:50 Mjolner and Cospri's Malice are getting the same treatment.

00:50 - 00:56 As well as reworking Ice Spear and Arctic Breath

00:58 - 00:59 Ice Nova buffed

00:59 - 01:01 Cold Snap Buffed as well.

01:04 - 01:06 Meanwhile they kill stat sticks!

01:06 - 01:08 All melee skills use both weapons!

01:13 - 01:14 AND!

01:14 - 01:16 Both weapons have to be valid,

01:16 - 01:20 for all attack skills or they can't be used!

01:21 - 01:27 Half of the offhand unique weapons in the game are now useless!

01:35 - 01:36 Claw and a mace?

01:36 - 01:39 Hope you like using charged dash for your movement skill!

01:39 - 01:41 Nothing else works

01:41 - 01:44 But hey, look, they're not completely retarded.

01:44 - 01:47 They reduced the multiple projectiles enchant for molten strike,

01:47 - 01:49 by 1 at both merc and uber lab.

01:50 - 01:53 ...and buffed it's damage.

01:54 - 01:56 Buffed base hit by 10%...

01:56 - 01:58 ...at max level, and ball damage by 30%

01:58 - 02:02 ...at all levels, and say "Hey, that'll fix it."

02:05 - 02:07 And...

02:10 - 02:11 ...And Poets...

02:11 - 02:13 ...Poets...

02:15 - 02:17 Poet's Pen get's buffed because Loreweave's

02:17 - 02:20 untouched, but flasks don't give max res anymore!

02:21 - 02:28 They reduce elemental damage taken by 20% to stop the damage immune pathfinder builds!

02:29 - 02:30 Reduced damage taken?

02:30 - 02:32 Loreweave price just exploded!

02:36 - 02:39 I've never seen something so daft!

02:40 - 02:42 Loreweave is laughing...

02:50 - 02:55 Loreweave is going to be BiS on every build.

02:56 - 02:58 What about Elder mods?

02:58 - 03:04 Nerfed by 50%, but they still work for spells, so who cares?

03:04 - 03:09 Still going to make blade vortex the only selfcast spell in the league.

03:09 - 03:11 That and Righteous Fire...

03:16 - 03:20 ...Or how about both?

03:23 - 03:26 Delving is going to be so easy!
