	Log in to remove this sponsored message So, aside from making the title appear like it's a disease (it kind of is), Blizzard has made some hotfixes affecting Demon Hunters, Monks, and Wizards mainly. Mostly everyone is not happy. quote Blizzard hotfix notes Demon Hunter Active Skills Smoke Screen Duration reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second (tooltip will still show 2 seconds) Skill Rune - Lingering Fog Now increases the duration of Smoke Screen to 1.5 (tooltip will still show 3 seconds) Monk Active Skills Fists of Thunder Skill Rune - Quickening Fixed an issue that was causing spirit regeneration to incorrectly trigger off critical hits from other sources, such as Sweeping Wind Mantra of Healing Mantra of Healing will now correctly provide only two times the base healing effect for the first 3 seconds after activation, down from four times the base healing effect (tooltip will still show the old value) Skill Rune - Boon of Protection A maximum absorption amount has been set to 1000 Life. This skill will be redesigned in an upcoming patch Wizard Active Skills Arcane Torrent Skill Rune - Cascade Fixed an issue that was causing Arcane Torrent to fire 3 new missiles per kill instead of only 1 new missile per kill Number of new missiles generated from this rune will now cap at 10 missiles Energy Armor Skill Rune - Force Armor Amount of damage absorbed from a single attack will now cap at 100% of a player's maximum Life Blizz blog. -------------------

	Uhhhhh why did they ruin Smoke Screen, exactly? Its not like two seconds was a horribly long time to begin with, but one second it just pathetic. ------------------- So what's the use of knowing the truth if no one's gonna believe you?

	Yeah, I should have tried to clear inferno instead of taking a long break to help friends out lol Force armor doesn't even work anymore, so even with 25k+ hp I just get oneshotted because they hit for like 100k+ ------------------- Currently playing: Guild Wars 2 Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Fire Emblem Awakening in Lunatic+ (waiting on DLCs)

	quote Shiris Yeah, I should have tried to clear inferno instead of taking a long break to help friends out lol It's been out for just a little more of a week, how is that a long break . But neither of those skills (of the DH) are skills that I use so I'm not really bothered.

	Damn, with the right runes and bit of luck I used to be able to use smoke screen for almost 10 seconds if needed. No more of that I guess. ------------------- "We live only a few conscious decades, and we fret ourselves enough for several lifetimes." -C. Hitchens-

	I haven't reached inferno yet, so I haven't been using force armor. The stories are scary though, how exactly does Blizzard expect Wizards/melee (basically every class except the DH) to clear the difficulty....? ------------------- It's a mad, mad world

Orgazmo <3 BluePhoenix Resident Neo since: Aug 2008	May 24, 12 at 3:30pm ^ re: Hotfixes are here. Are you affected?
	I don't see why they nerfed Smoke Screen, although I suppose I can see their point as 3 seconds is JUST long enough to revive someone. I didn't feel like that was game breaking, though. Maybe give it a longer cooldown, but don't shorten the actual length of it. The Monk's Mantra of Healing was basically a lifeline for me. I would tank the bosses while my friend (Demon Hunter) would DPS them. I'd have to spam Mantra over and over to stay at full health. They better not touch Serenity. That ability is a Godsend for tanking. -------------------

	My friend almost quit because of the Monk nerf, and I'm still pissed about SmokeScreen, but it seems other people are just buying OP gear off the auction house and wrecking that way instead. T.T

	I actually started playing a Barbarian and a Monk to see how hard it was, and of course in the beginning, both classes are rawksum, so I can totally understand how frustrating it'd be to fall off as a class in Inferno, after being so good early on.

This . My Barbarian is amazing fun, but I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll probably keep playing into Inferno with my RL friend when we get there, and he's playing a Monk.

Do people really do that? That shit just doesn't make sense to me, the point of the game is to actually kill the mobs for better items and stuff, and running through just to progress is stupid. Silly kids. I play in a party with Ron and one of my buds from college and we are a perfect team (barb, monk, DH).

The reason they did that was because they wanted to rush for world first diablo on inferno. But I guess untill we see world first diablo inferno (hardcore) I am not that impressed considering the storyline bosses are easier than the random elites. ------------------- Tales of- Series Warcraft III Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker (GC) World of Tanks Forum Guild Wars 2 Forum
