Smoke screen + preparation = OP?

[Karpalo]

The duration of SS has been nerfed in todays hotfix, it's now shorter then the Cd of SS even with Lingering Fog.

So it seems. Kinda have to rethink the position. You can't literally do anything against elite packs and trying to make DH durable enough to not get one shotted is mission impossibru on inferno.

Eat a dick Blizzard. This will be interesting to see who can actually get through inferno with all these new hotfixes.

SS: 1 sec (down from 2)
Lfog: 1 sec ( down from 2)
The CD: 3 sec.

Horray ...

Doesn't really worry me TBH. I'll have to replay acts 3 and 4 to see if I can still do it, but I never used Smoke Screen as a permanent invulnerability shield (some builds could do that in some situations) in the first place, I only used it as a quick escape when something was about to hit me. Now I will just feel less cheap when I use it. It's still required for some bosses however, nerfs or no.

I never used it for complete invunerbility either, but more often than not, I will use SS 3 times in a row when I'm facing a boss or a really tough champion pack that I try to run away from.

The main issue with these nerfs is that they are decrementing the people who didn't 'exploit' or 'take advantage' of the skill. With a 3 second cool down, 2 seconds of invisibility is not enough to get away from a mob.
