Build diversity died…

I can’t go just 2 points into SA for shadows embrace. I have to go all or nothing.

Shadows Embrace got nerfed HARD this patch… It doesn’t work on all conditions now…

Like thieves had amazing condi removal before?

Good bye thief class IMO.

Back to diablo 3…

Just another noob thief…

I seem to recall build diversity being the justification stated by a dev for this update.

They kittened that up good.

It works for the conditions you usually want to remove anyway.

I was the best at burning things. Especially bosses that
didn’t move.

Actually, cripple and immob and chill are the ones I want to remove most… Don’t work on them anymore…

Seriously think this is worst patch ever….

Just wait until “Slow” cannot be removed by Shadow’s Embrace … HUGE nerf. <3

Grandmaster in acro reduces the effect of chill and cripple (50%) automatically and also converts 1 immob to a cripple with an icd of 10s. I’d say that is a decent alternative to shadows embrace, especially since I think the overall bonuses from acrobatics is better than SA (at least when it comes to my playstyle, which doesn’t involve a lot of stealth stacking while in combat nor eating lots of damage). Can even take Guarded Initiation instead of Hard to Catch (which is the superior trait) if you really dislike slows.

Running S/D with Deadly Arts, Trickery, and Acrobatics I love the new patch. I honestly don’t feel like I’m hard countered by anything atm. Maybe I was just playing against bad players last night but even engineers didn’t kill me 1v1. Condi hasn’t been too much of an issue removing it with Infiltrator’s strike or Shadowstep.
