Feel absolutely horrible. They severely reduced increased attack speed and how it's calculated so now the werewolf and werebear are just glorified humans.

Feels disgusting, quite frankly. Also MrLlamaSC did a video about it. Didn't get a chance to test the hydra sorc out yet, but unless they change druids back or adjust it so they're not attacking at base speed when shapeshifted, I'm probably going to start withdrawing from the game.

The balance patch promised to be great fun and in the end all they're doing is streamlining the classes to be more like each other. Hopefully I'm wrong when 2.4 hits live, but right now, I'm very disillusioned and hardly play D2R anymore at all.

Thanks for the info. I main werewolf; I hope this change to attack speed doesn't stick .
Looks like it's been reversed.

They decided to make it better and reverse it except when your ias would be lower by the new settings, in which case the new settings kick in.

Sorry I meant to post but it's been hectic for me lately.

As the other poster pointed out, it's been mostly reversed. I want to make a ww on ladder, so this is great news for me.

At this point, I've given up on the game. I still have the legacy version installed in case I want to try Median XL or another mod.

With the way the dopamine addiction in D2 works, I am feeling a lot more energetic and mentally healthy after half a week of not playing it. YMMV.
For anyone interested, 2.4 is now live.
