Analogically but I support author, new patches are not suitable for play it. Its degradation of HU history. I miss for Tundra, Nihla, WSK runs, Templars Might

Believe it or not the no synergy's is more balanced then you think plus it opens up more doors to different kinda builds...Why can't you run tundra wsk for that armor...Did you try crafting ? My pally has almost nothing but crafted gear .. And for the record in the 1.3 patch melees were worthless...

No_Sound....all the things you listed are still in the game....

you can make "classic" skill builds and you can still grind tundra...templars might is still the best caster armor...

Am I missing something?

NS you have sence. Mraw youre or Brevan removed all chars, just zeal pal works little bit. All synergys skills now dead. Crafting its not problem solution
How play for: Mentalsin, Foherdin, Bone necro, Cold sorc, Nova sorc, Fire sorc, Fire Druid all chars? Dont make laught its madness
Few players can understand such gameplay

wait what??? All of those characters are plenty playable and viable in this patch.

This has been maybe the best overall balanced and playable patch in HUs history.

1.21z - fun but very easy.
1.3 - melees SUCKED, then we had overpowered caster builds with the oskill masteries around everywhere, not to mention all of the problems with bugs, etc.
1.4 - too heavy on the difficulty
1.5 - bland (sorry Mraw it was your patch but not my cup of tea)
1.6 - issues with the overpowered grizzly bear, the 3% vendor reduce wirts jewels, the insanely beefy facets with sorbs and dr% on them, mastery oskills on trangs armor etc.

This patch fixes those issues and has a lot of variation now without synergies. I don't understand why people want synergies? It's the dumbest thing - it forces players into builds. There is so much customization available in this patch without synergies. Refreshing and fun.

Sup scythe. Have you played 1.8 much? My opinion is that it's the best patch we've ever had, and that 1.9 will be even better. Regarding the builds you mentioned.

Mentalsin - still in great shape. Can clear trash and dps bosses with no counters
Foh din - slow with trash and amazingly safe boss killer. Same as always
Bone necro - Teeth still clears trash, bone spear with curses is still decent on bosses
Sorcs - seriously all sorc builds are awesome now due to no synergies
Fire druid - not being able to cast geddon as bear sucks, but that's my only gripe

Edit: Al nailed it above
Edit2: geddon, not fstorm. Lee drood was broken as fuck

How? If they deleted synergy on chars. I cant get more dmgs example Bone spirit get bonuses from Teeth, Spear.

ekhm the values on individual skills, be it damage, duration, or whatever, are set as if they were there former fully synergised values.

so

put 20 points in teeth, and win, same goes for anything else.

therefore

You are free to build your characters and come up with interesting Skill/Combos

Item progression, Stat balancing choices are your main game, and ofc fun interesting skill combinations...

+ all skill gear gained a lot value rather then just +3 to one line items, that is for certain builds that span over multiple skill trees.

Overaly I think its awesome, and I had a lot of fun this patch.

EDIT: Also becous of this change, the patch feels a bit to easy.

I love HU, i love 2h weapn build, like Spearazon, Spearass, Spearfury druid...
How to build and surrive in this patch ?

Buff trash monster because they just die way too fast

Bored play on single. Wanta 1.3
