Nice template imo, not sure what you mean about leggies being nerfed, they are being altered in the US but I didn't think this was a nerf as such, more a change.

The nerf to assassins that i heard of is to pierce. Lot of moaning on the US boards about shades being forced to go blades to compete with other assassins but im not exactly sure of the facts.

 

[Ivynoxia]

Basically, a few recent changes affected the pierce line in small negative ways

The introduction of the 3 second reactionary window in 1.82 meant that the evade stun chain is shortened, sometimes Diamondback -> Hamstring is not even possible to pull off, so there the first most obvious advantage in going pierce is lost.

The Str/con poisoned was also changed to debuff WS/con, pierce users' weapon skills, which are str/dex based, now get debuffed the same amount instead of half; another advantage pierce users had there is gone.

The armor table changes in the upcoming patch, with leather vulnerability being reduced to 5% (from 15%). In effect when you fight a malice+champ weap wielding assassin with heaters in the new patch, you'll be 10% less effective than before. This is another nerf to what used to make the pierce line viable against superior artifacts in the blades line.

Thanks Ivy, very useful info there.
