So...soft points will work in the same way that hard points currently work, meaning the actual effects would still basically Cap at 20 total, making it a 1pt wonder skill?
Or soft points will work on top of hard points, effectively removing the 20 Cap and giving it an ever increasing effect for mad radius + duration?
And why "instead of", rather than "in addition to"?! Just bad phrasing or making hard pts useless? ^^
Given, could both be interesting. But the 1pt wonder approach would nicely offset the extra pts needed in the demon tree now.
My understanding would be no. 1. Soft points work, too (that's for sure) and I guess the limit is still 20. If there was no limit, this would mean a significant buff to Abyss.
They nerfed every other build MORE than Echoing Strike. Wtf?
Even though this reduces the insane 200k ES builds. Its still going to be the most damage. Which is fine. But why does fire build need nerfed? Full Summon build is nerfed?! Lmao.
I think i was the only one who used that build, bc while it "worked", it was slower than anything else.
Anyway, I'm positively surprised, actually shocked, how swiftly Blizz decided to nerf Warlock. It took them 3 years to fix Mosaic, and they didn't touch other OP builds at all.
This outcome should not surprise anyone, Blizz used this ladder season like a playground to see the potential of the new character and how to adjust his power to be align with the other classes. This is normal on the game industry and i don't see anything wrong with the approach.
There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.

All those changes will impact existing characters immediately during PTR or only template characters?
When you launch the game on the PTR you will only have the template characters. You have the option of using the template characters or creating new characters. You can't use your existing live realm characters. PTR is completely separated.

Based on the last one, you can copy over your offline chars though to see what impact it really has on proper builds, rather than their random test stuff.

Ok, i get it regarding skill changes.
But what about those TZ/Herald/Sunder/Statue changes and bug fixes section? Wouldn't those be effective immediately?
In response.. Lightning Bolt you to the face!
2026: Show me your Hephasto and I'll tell what kind of man you are.
EVERY warlock build was using 1p Demonic Mastery and 1p Bind Demon: Defilers for AoE, Consume for damage and Hephasto for Cursed and aura.
The nerf is making summoner a dedicated build, not a mandatory free addition to every other build.

PTR is a completely separate environment.
If you log onto the PTR then yes, all of those changes will be there. But you won't have your live characters to play with.
If (while the PTR is up) you log into the normal live environment, none of the PTR changes will be there. Neither skills nor Herald/statue/sunder/... stuff. That won't hit live until after the PTR closes and the patch gets finalized and deployed to live (best guess: with the end of the current ladder season).
Some of the nerfs were justifiable but this one is brutal.
Well, I had my share of fun. Lock is gonna be (as)S tier now.SSS.pngSSS.png
What does that mean exactly? That it won't go past the enemy and hit again on the way back?
Reminds me of back in the day when homing arrow could Pierce and you could have a bunch of ArrowsPierce and do a 180° turn, hit, Pierce again, and then repeat the process. That was nice.
