WTF? Nerfed Chaos Hexblast?
Don't go and nerf chaos hexblast off infinite curses that like 0.1% of the community was using but you still want to leave the abomination electric builds as is. Actually triggered. Even monk ice builds can obliterate the entire screen. I just don't have words because chaos hexblast didn't even compare.

Dude... the curse has to be 50% expired now to apply hexblast. No longer can hexblast off infinite curse aura... Makes no sense...

Can't exploit anymore? Dude? On what planet was anyone playing chaos hexblast? The majority of players were electric or monk screen clearing. Very small amount where chaos hexblast

Doesnt change anything on fact that hexblasting curse auras was exploit.

THAT WASN'T AN EXPLOIT? They devs allowed infinite cursed aura. Hexblast can blast anything with curse? That's why anything in the curse was on blasphemy was already down scaled.

Also, the damage does even touch the surface to anything electric related in builds. The devs are smoking right now. Electric is still insanely OP but they nerfed witch hunter grenades on initial release, and now chaos hexblast? It makes no sense. But 1 swipe monk ice or electric anything that obliterates the entire screen is still okay? It makes no sense.

that was not in the vision, sorry mate :steamhappy:

i had my fun with it last league and knew it would get fixed. it was fixed, not a nerf. It's still good, but in a new way. The game is in EA, watch out playing broken builds if you're gonna be heartbroken over it

It wasn't even a top build... it wasn't broken.

But thats not a valid argument. Fixing is about changing things that dont work as intended. Hexblast was clearly designed as tradeoff skill that consumes curses, not to be spammed over infinite curse.

First, they buffed Essen drain and DOT damage a lot, like A LOT, with damage buff and new support gem.

2nd, they don't want you to keep using same skill to kill everything, it should be burst AOE attack, and if you want to this skill work means you need to build around it - instant curse and reduce duration and stuff.

It's a trade off build, either you go for long duration to make your DOT works or reduce duration to make your Hex blast work. Means warrior can be effective hexblast mage.

I think it is a valid argument because there are other skills you can spam that have aoe dmg. a small cooldown AFTER using it should be the way to nerf it but now it is simply unuseable.

And so what happens then is:
>you spam blank hexblast
>run out of mana after 3 casts
>16-hour Despair prep ready
>got no mana to trigger hexblast
>curse timer ran out
>you're swarmed by a full screen of spear zoomers
