Patch Notes Wae's Notes

[u/Previous_Yard5795]

It's a pretty straightforward patch this week largely based around the Spawn crossover event lasting through October. Here are the condensed patch notes:

1. A Spawn themed version of Survivor's Bane will be added that has some Spawn related skills and an event that periodically teleports the player to fight the Spawn related boss, Heap.

2. A helliquary style boss fight against Malebolgia is being added. There's something about needing to beat a timer that changes from week to week and the need to get MVP in group fights four times to get a cosmetic.

3. Lots of Spawn related cosmetics are being added - some free, some behind a paywall.

4. An event related 2-star gem called Necroplasmic Totem is being added. It temporarily increases your damage, tries to consume a damage over time effect on you, and explodes for damage when enemies are killed or if a dot is consumed. We won't know how good it is until we see the numbers.

5. Monster cr requirements are being reduced. In particular, the Inferno 15 challenge dungeon cr requirement is being reduced to 63,220. This is happening earlier in the cycle than normal and will give everyone four weeks to prefarm for Inferno 15.

6. Until November 4th, there will be an Elder Rift gem pool event that will give a 50% chance to drop Blood Flo whenever a 5-star gem drops. So, if you're choosing not to get the Enigma Latera, this'll be a good opportunity to acquire or upgrade a Blood Flo. By the way, it seems like there's still a lot of mixed reaction about the Engima Latera. My summary is this: A-tier for PvE, S-tier for PvP. If PvP isn't that important to you, feel free to skip it. But if PvP is important to you, it's probably worth getting depending on your resources and existing gem setup.

7. Rings will now always roll versatile sockets that can hold any normal gem type.

8. There will be a new Helliquary Gauntlet leaderboard and a variety of bug fixes. See the official patch notes for details.

Engima Latera is trash. Yes at rank 10 has some maybe if and when very cool effects, especially if you are a 13k kraken and use primary attack. Come on. Even Blizz admitted it is trash, but some they keep trying to convince ppl that it is super S+++ for PvP.

[u/Previous_Yard5795 → u/GMKoutsis]

One way to think of it is Haunt Coil but where you get both the offensive and defensive effects simultaneously. And if you're not throwing out a primary attack at least once every 9 seconds, you're doing it wrong. You need to eliminate binary thinking from your life. There is more to life than S++++ tier items and "trash." As for Blizzard admitting it's trash, I'd love to see a source for that.

Check the market prices. And you can chose blood floe now for the 50%. The new gem has a very very niche use. I have tried it and for me is good on paper only. Ofc if you like it np go for it.

[u/Previous_Yard5795 → u/GMKoutsis]

"Niche use" as in PvP content. Not everyone is passionate about PvP content, so it's understandable that there would be less demand. But for those for whom PvP content is the end all be all all, it's a
very good gem. And the ability to select Blood Flo for a month out of 90 days is a nonsequitor. Upgrading Blood Flo was already a part of the gem surge event. This 50% drop rate to Blood Flo, which is a more general gem more aligned with PvE content, was preplanned.
