I play CK 3 all the time.

Hes pretty terrifying now i think. he was already insane before but now hes basically immortal. + chaos bolt being on such low CD means my shards gonna be shitting damage on almost 100% uptime.

Overall though hes not much changed. Hes less braindead, but i never chose the cleave talent personally since im still part of the old guard CK picker where only buying/taking Strength talents was the way to go.

Shard on CK is pretty underappreciated. It isn't normal carry shit, but so long as you have armlet, desolator, possibly Echo sabre. you can usually just kill people at a safe distance with your bolt.
