Llama just ran around hell cows and 1 tapped every hell cow just by walking passed it with fire aura. I will quit this game if that’s allowed to happen. As if paladin’s aren’t already some of the most broken characters in existence…this is just stupid.

Yep I just tested it too. It’s way too OP even tho there are a lot of fire immunities in Hell.
And remember, this is just only PTR and they are trying to test it to conclude with feedback from players.

I’m sure it will be toned down, but he’s also using 3x fire aura items right? That’s a lot of hrs. He’s also testing on P1 too?

Thats all we need to do to make you quit!!
how about constructive criticism in the PTR feedback instead of rage quit threats? They might take you up on it.

Doesn’t matter if it’s 500 hrs, this build is beyond broken. Utter faceroll gameplay.

Welcome to the land of endgame lightning sorcs and hdins. But yeah, it will be adjusted.

Did you even see the build? The fact that the developers didn’t notice this WITHOUT criticism is scary…
My constructive criticism would be to hire people who know what they’re doing with balance please.

The question is what will they adjust it to? Auradin was a strong build prior to this PTR, didn’t really need buffs given the stupid passive gameplay.
He didn’t exactly one shot on wave 5 of Baal, but yeah, it will probably be toned down even though it’s really expensive.
edit: I just mean it’s not invulnerable.
Right …it’s one thing for lightning sorcs to actually have to target/cast their spells and use mana, it’s another entirely to simply exist and everything dies. That’s D3 level of ridiculous.
Honestly, I didn’t know holy fire/holy shock even needed buffs, I thought they were already in a good place?

Yeah it reminded me of D3 for sure. Just watching someone run through groups and everything falls without even clicking anything. Its extremely stupid. But its 2022, theres a 50/50 chance it makes it into the game regardless of what anyone thinks or how broken it is.

Holy Fire damage drops off through the difficulties which is when holy shock is picked up. Holy freeze is the middle ground but also has cc. Holy Fire needed some late game improvements but yeah its a little ridiculous right now in ptr.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand this hyper sensitive, hyperbolic generation… TikTok has made your generation so over reactive!

What’s wrong with it? Can you one shot every enemy in Hell mode?

Auras from items shouldn’t stack, either with each other or with the player’s own skill. Dual Dream was fixed on legacy, wasn’t it? Auras given by items in my opinion shouldn’t synergize either with the player’s skills. That would balance out most of the issue right there.

Well, the setup does cost 1x Cham, 3x Sur and 3x Lo.
It’s not going to do nearly as good at p7-8 (which I feel like should be the default for using this kind of wealth on a build) so if someone wants to one shoot everything on p1…meh.
Personally not a fan of a build that leaves everything to fire damage with weak physical damage, but that’s just me.
That being said, the scaling they implemented is ridiculous (should’ve just gotten the proximity buff and nothing more). It needs to be changed but I think hundreds of people already told them that.

No, it was bugged but it was something else. Auras stacking from items was intentional but in legacy there was a bug where you could stack it to ridiculous levels (yeah, even more than now).
Then quit. BiS gear is like that for D2. You think javazon in cows is hard or something?

I have zero issues with the current state of Auradin on PTS. First, in order to achieve what you’re talking about, you need Hand of Justice (SurChamAmnLo) and double Dragon (Surx2Lox2Solx2), which is 7 high runes and as such is only slightly stronger than a Javazon against P1 Cows.
Second, having actually built and tested this out on PTS for about an hour, running through different content, this is not that strong in a number of different areas. You are going to excel in obvious places like Cows, but you’re not that awesome in say Chaos Sanctuary.
