Dark Link Wrote:Did Conflag really get nerfed? It seems like it got buffed. Went from 55% damage to 130% and now stacks up to 3 times, while still retaining its "Refresh all stacks" portion.
Also the channeling changes are still pretty big nerfs :|

Basically you need to channel for the full 5 seconds to deal the same damage as currently on live and you need to channel for an additional 5 seconds for it to be a 30% buff.
Rerolling fire still on the table now due to this change.
Conflagration can stack an infinite number of times, with each attack refreshing any current stacks. Now, you're limited to 3 stacks, which is 390%/s, the equivalent to 7 stacks pre-patch. The cap of 3 and refresh really goes towards +2 Mirror Balls since they never need that refresh effect since they're always at max stacks if they don't. At the very least, Firebirds is strong for shorter fights since you can build up to it quickly with spenders. You needed 18 attacks with Conflagration + Mirror Ball to get to 3000%/s, but you could at least go over that too.
