4. You don't have enough damage to just trivialise all bosses, OS them and skip all their mechanics. You actually have to understand their design and how to beat them (it feels like an endgame boss). 5. You don't lose time managing your item filters, neither do you waste time sorting out hundred of drops from maps, bosses, etc. 4. Patch notes padded by a game mode the majority of players will never care about. There should be a mini game patch note page that is separate. Next patch notes will be 90% fishing and albino rhoa feather updates. Ruthless got more balance changes than "non ruthless" in past 4 leagues combined. Elemental casters with 1h+shield built out of a Templar would be a good example. Safeguard, Faith and Steel, Holy Dominion, and Sanctuary all within close proximity. Wearing a white Archon shield and adding Purity of Elements on top gets you to 53% all res without any other gear on. I'd prioritize tankiness above much else for ruthless. It's easier to level back a toon to 90 in normal than making a toon go from 89 to 90 in ruthless. You will always be stuck in low tier for a while. Exp penalty cannot really explain how much slower it is, because you aren't ever really chaining t16 back to back in ruthless. Ruthless. This bow have ilvl 66 and says already has the maximum number of Sockets. I tried to find information, but without success. All I found: The levels where you start finding four socket, five socket and six socket items have been adjusted. Feels kind of weird to create a boss kill event for a tiny part of an already very tiny part of the playerbase. From the perspective of a viewer it's not fun to watch Ruthless, imo. EDIT: Oh the rewards are design a new unique and ultra VIP tickets to ExileCon. EDIT 2: For the 40+ people who made the same comment "this doesn't affect the game I don’t think people who play like that even like ruthless. It doesn’t add any substance other than being tedious. It’s like somebody seeing that you like running so they take your shoes away because they think that you being slower means it’ll be more fun for you. 6. DamoVQ. 6Y9IVQ2.
