So basically, you have squire-level tower DPS now, welcome to my world!
EDIT: Reading what some of the changes are, they seem kind of intentional. It's just weird that they didn't bother putting any of it in the patch notes (I can understand not announcing the nerf beforehand, but it should at least be in the release patch notes).
Apparently Ogres now correctly attack Magic Blockades. I'd noticed this myself, Ogres used to just get kind of stuck on them, occasionally acid and maybe attack once every so often. Compared to a Spike Blockade where they'd just wail on the thing for massive damage.
This was a combination of two things. First, if a tower was attacking an ogre before it got to the wall, the ogre would stay pissed off at the tower and just range attack. Also, if you did enough dps, it would just get pissed off and do this roar animation instead of attacking anything.

I've also read that people with lower stats don't seem to have much of a damage nerf. So what's actually probably happened is that having extraordinarily high gear stats is now ramped properly to give diminishing returns. It did this anyway: pre-nightmare, having 100 tower attack didn't give you +100% over 50 tower attack, it was more like +20%. But when people have tower attack in the thousands, it probably wasn't diminishing properly.
But, again, it's possible a nerf was needed, but I think the issue here is that Trendy didn't (and still hasn't) tell anybody.
They did update the patch notes saying this was a nerf.
Apprentice Towers Exponential Damage Ramp reduced by 15%So, it is affecting those of us who busted our ass for mythical gear more than anyone else. However, I still think they really screwed it up here. Some people are reporting that their towers are doing the same damage as someone with 200-300 less tower attack than them. I also think a nearly 50% damage cut is a bit ridiculous.
