    I noticed a heavy fizzle RNG improvement after Release 86.

    I want to know your opinion on that.

    My two cents:
    Before this patch I was getting consistently 5-10 fizzles in a row from 50% chance spells. It wasn't reliable at all to cast ant spell lower than 80%, which was guaranteed to have at least one fizzle before casting. Now it feels more natural, when at 50% I'm able to cast first time without fizzles about half of the time and the worst RNG takes 3 fizzles before cast.

    I've read that ranged weapons now have less fizzle debuff, as I'm an archer this may be the cause of my perception.

    Ya, once they were considered 1H weapons in regards to fizzle, you'll notice if you mouse over an empty hand there's a comment on fizzle reduction (free hand bonus of 10%) -- could be what you're experiencing. Only other fizzle stuff this patch I recall was in regards to changes to off-hand artifacts would wouldn't apply here since you're using a 2-hander. Chris does sneak in some things that don't make it to the notes, though.
