hoodieonmarz: so many things need buffs, so many cool incantations and spells that literally do nothing

aiellamori: Brother, the boss placement one means gaius won't be charging at you frame one when you re enter the fog wall. He will be at the same place you first encounter him every time

DEVil-po5xz: No fucking way. The buffed ZERO of the useless incantations.

Ashelios: Rolling sparks is just enough to tickle enemies balls now

backslash4141: The thing about the boss placements is actually good.

What it means is that, using gaius as an example, if you die and re-enter the arena he will now spawn further back like when you initially entered the arena.

This should help prevent getting bull-rushed the second you cross the fog wall in his fight.

monster-de1gb: Almost no buffs

creamofthecrop6743: I had a lot of fun instakilling bosses with perfume it needed to be nerfed but not made completely useless. Why is it always overpowered to useless instead of overpowered to viable.

Ganja_Guru217: No one is saying rolling sparks didn't need a nerf but perfume bottles are actually useless now.

itoito7104: Nerfing Rolling Sparks withour buffing the perfumes bottles is a very bad decision.

laynerowland1497: Making Rolling sparks go from dealing 30000 damage to 300 is wild, hopefully they buff the perfume stuff a bit haha

SwedetasticGames: Not making Rain of Fire, Rotten Butterflies and Aspect of the Crucible: Miranda Blossom Beams of Light do any sort of damage at the same time as this is actually criminal.

bruhvenant: Seems like this is a quick update just to address the most ridiculously broken stuff, the vast majority of this patch is classified as "bug fixes" so it wasn't really intended to be a major balance shake-up and the nerfs are simply because those things were benefitting from bugs. I imagine they have 1.13 in the works as a large balance focused patch, especially considering how much balance has been the hot topic for people to complain about.

karmascamera5275: Unfortunately, Light of Miquella

wdgastly9880: ·Fixed a bug that made certain weapons usable and fun

·Fixed a bug where incantations and Euporia were not doing anything. These have now been removed from the game.

cceibon: give 80% of the long ass incantations half the hyper armor endure has and this dlc is fixed.

victord.monkey9081: The Gaius and Hippo relocation is to prevent them insta charging from the start with less than 2 second to react

bronzieblue63: That Rain of Fire incantation desperately needs a buff, requires like 50 faith and it gets beaten by an uncharged Black Flame projectile in damage, like bruh why is it so horribly weak?

AirLondon66: i understand nerfing the rolling sparks and perfume bottles but nerfing it to the point where they're just useless is just annoying, only enabling people to abuse bleed builds.

YES KNOW THEY WERE BROKEN!! I just wish they got balanced instead of being nerfed/patched to the ground cause i think the perfume bottles have a lot of potential

strangeperson2314: My face when Midra's Frenzied Flame got no buffs and still only does like 150 damage as an AoE and can't hit anything within 8 feet of you.

beydey2647: They always nerf the few OP weapons but never touch the dozens of underpowered spells

natem355: no way they forgot to fix the ansbach bloodflame incantation doing 0 bleed build up

Leanmk5: Rip perfume bottles

rk13567: How are you so quick lol. Also yeah I hope there's a patch of buffs incoming for all the crappy stuff now

CFEKOSMOS: "Changed the placement of the bosses, who knows what that means?" EVERYONE! How is that hard for you to understand???

formatomi: The boss changes just means they start further back in the arena as if you walked in the first time

CGR1410: “Placement of bosses” means that they’d be in the same spot as when you’d first encounter them naturally before having a fog barrier

CardsNSleevesTCG: Commander Gaiuss repositioning, only a few will understand the bullshit he can do fresh outta the fogwall

skaze8653: Panic nerfing a bunch of shit with no buffs to a lot of other shit that are downright horrendous

I really felt something when the boss weapon ranking video only went up to A

Most of the boss weapons are pretty bad, pretty disappointing for weapons that are supposed to be the spoils of conquering boss enemies

user-zp8kj2cl9g: My man faster than Rellana combos

benjaminweeks8619: Rolling Sparks was guaranteed to be nerfed along with Split Slash. You could kill the final boss with less than 10 L2s with Sparks. This is typical for From. Also Rolling Sparks was legit broken. The hitboxes from it would stack on top of each other.

But hey at least we still have the Thorn spell

DasTarnschnitzel: For rolling sparks: you can still throw them through bosses with large hitboxes and do great damage. It was never intended to be thrown at the ground at point blank.

YangBalanceYin: Decent direction, but a lot of incantations and sorceries feel like they are literally not scaling with anything, take forever to cast, and have zero hyper armour. Gold arcs or fire rain do like 100 damage... I hope they approach them next, though the perfume bottles were literally only good because of a bug... which says everything.

user-zp8kj2cl9g: The bosses placement means that they will no longer charge directly at you in a straight line the moment you cross the fog gate. They will be repositioned to the spot where they do their "introduction" the first time you fight them. Meaning, they are a lot more far away and give you more time to summon.

couran: I think it makes sense that they've focused on things that were obviously wrong or broken first. It's only been two weeks, since release, not a surprise that there's no real buffs yet because presumably they want to wait until they've seen how all the combos and options truly play out before issuing buffs.

reiddutchess9955: Damn, they were prompt to nerf some of this

bladechild2449: The problem with the Cirques was never distance, it was shitty tracking and going straight into the floor against small enemies. Also have they seriously not done anything with the pointless incantations that do no damage?

Freelancer.Warzone: I think one change would benefit everyone massively: if you gather the maximum amount of any consumables, you should be able to exchange them for a resusable item.

You do one massive farming session to get what you want, and you are rewarded with the result of not having to go through that ever again, that could promote both using more consumables and the hoarding playstyle (of "im saving this for later, who knows when i will be needing it- aaand the game is over")

People who earn their consumables honestly are always in the "oh no i might run out of this so better save it for later" trap, while people who use CE to grant themselves these items wouldnt be at a massive advantage. I know they changed consumables for colosseum, but the entire crafting side of the game is seriously underdeveloped and underappreciated, and will stay that way even after 2 years if they dont introduce something like this

amistakewasmade6626: The smithscript nerf was so shit. Lost 25% of its damage pretty much when used with faith or int scaling infusions.

Rafael57YT: The npc behaviour fix is probably because many NPCs just stood there without attacking the bosses (?)

jdlman123: Rolling sparks going from thousands of damage to 305 is crazy. I expected a nerf, but now its less than light attacks basically?

ashscar8878: I believe the part about the placement of the Golden Hippo and Gaius is about how their starting positions are different on subsequent attempts compared to the first. This will be especially notable for Gaius who originally comes running in from the entrance to the next area at first and starting much closer to the boss fog on subsequent attempts where he is free to charge at you right off the bat.

Grimsly3736: I’m so happy the Sorcery Sword actually works now, testing damage wise it ain’t that bad either

Basidus258: The unexpected affinity with the Fire Knights GS was holy. For some reason it got a lot more damage instead of fire and flame art, as originally intended

Lord--Farquaad: I totally get that lol, even though it was obvious that the perfume was getting destroyed in the next patch, they've still spent rare, unrefundable resources on something that's now been rendered useless.

I genuinely think you should be given a choice to trade your weapon and receive your smithing stones back every time a weapon you already maxed out gets nerfed significantly.

SecretMarsupial: Looking at these changes like: “I hope you all had fun”

BaldurOverlord: A friend told me about the NPC didn't enter the final boss battle or didn't attack that much so i guess that's the fix

BzCoffin1663: As a tiche user I can confirm that sometimes when she does the destined death and later when the grey area wears off the bosses health definitely looks like it bounces back more than the damage the attack did effectively healing the boss, glad they fixed that I though I was going crazy

ViperXtreme: maybe the summoned bug is the one near fort of reprimand, where a ghostflame dragon is fighting mesmer's army with black knights. Any summoned npc there just stands and doesn't react, they only react when attacked then de aggros again and becomes idle

justinholdt9765: The perfume bottles concept looked soo cool and now. I'm sad not the huge damage. But this looked like they went overboard. They need maybe away to add something like special buffs or debuffs by mixing different bottles. Idk just tossing different ideas. I want these to be great. Not OP but great.

richardhandcock: Rolling Sparks is still good, just not totally broken. They only nerfed it deleting everything when aimed at the ground, it's still decent against large enemies

morgen_t: 26s ago without notifs on is crazy, keep up the work fr

Dumle95: Inpenetrable thorns and that new magic AOW untouched for anyone looking for broken builds lol

vector2993: Well, smithscript weapons are probably unusable now, especially daggers since the damage was already horrible with flame art, sacred or magic
