Raging Spirit and Meta Gem Hotfix Announced
Grinding Gear Games just announced a Hotfix Nerf for Raging Spirits. There is now a limit of 5 Raging Spirit spawns per cast at all levels. The ability to summon them from triggered Fire Skills is also removed. A later patch prevents very weak ailments from low level abilities triggering meta gems. Gas Cloud, Supercharged Slam and Magnetic Salvo got quick balance adjustments earlier this weekend.
Key Takeaways
Here are a few key takeaways from the patch
- The nerfs mainly target Summon Raging trigger loops
- The mana opportunity cost of triggering massive quantities of meta gems is too low
- If you've used low level flame walls and other skills to trigger meta gems try to experiment how far you have to level them to trigger meta gems again.
- Expect more hotfixes soon.
Hotfix
"In an upcoming hotfix, we'll be making it so that Raging Spirits can only summon 5 Raging Spirits per cast at all levels. They will also no longer be able to be spawned from triggered Fire Skills. After this hotfix, we will be making adjustments to other Trigger Meta-Gems. In particular, we are going to be moving towards it being that you will not be able to apply very weak ailments from low level abilities to build energy. It is our intention that using low level skills with no investment is not an appropriate avenue to trigger copious amounts of high damage spells."
