Mixed feelings. Something had to be done about synthos with lightning surge and consecration, full stop; these things trivialize the hardest content in the game making champions and groups of yellow bars fall over. Im glad that you will technically still be able to use them for their strong suit, which is the pure damage; in theory (i would hope) this wont be touched if they are reducing the fragment counts. Whats being hit here is the uptime of your abilities, and your survivability. You cant have 30% DR from facet of protection, bigger explosions from ruin, healing on melees, radiant on melee hits, and increased damage against darkness debuffed enemies all at the same time anymore; you have to pick 2 out of what works best for you, when there are 5-6 superb options. It hurts buildcrafting. But I would hardly call this buildcrafting its just smashing all the best things together, half of which become redundant because of how good everything is when you use it at the same time. Surge/devour and Consec/knockout are so good on their own you barely even need any fragments they just are nice. Its a fair change but I hope the aspects stay the same, and I hope new things become viable. I hope there is more variety in the build meta and its not just "still hoil syntho just a worse version" If you told me today to pick two instead of five Id keep protection on both, ruin on titan and the overshield from void orbs one on warlock.

To be fair we’re also gonna be getting Armor Set bonuses and extra effects for investing in Stats past 100 points. I’ve always been of the “wait until it’s live then figure out how to work with what’s available” school of thought, and this doesn’t change that. (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)

Definitely hurts what little motivation I had to play. Main thing that keeps me around is how strong I feel in PvE. It’s what makes PvE fun.

Is it only on prismatic?

The funny parts are that : If this is the only nerfs to Pris Titan, it won't change the power of it all that much. The Fragments are the least important part of that build Prismatic Executioner getting reduced to 1 Fragment when it's not even in the same ballpark as Feed the Void or Knockout. After the buffs, Threaded Specter is way more useful as your survivability Aspect
