It’s not too strong, atm. It’s just about right. Look at the paragon points of the WDs people are complaining about. That has more to do with the higher GRs so soon, not the set itself.
And rest assured, a WD who just hit lvl 70 5 minutes ago with 20 paragon and the new Mundungunus set isn’t clearing GR150 solo.
That’s because the blizzard nerfs builds that are too strong.
It is too strong. Blizzard wants builds to be balanced around GRift 141 for 10k paragon. WD Mundu’s is currently 6 tiers too strong. This means they are dealing at least 2.56x more damage than what blizzard would like.
Yes, that’s why blizzard said 1-2 GRifts variation is good balance. That means one build can be 143 and another can be 139 and be balanced under their statement.
I have quoted Matt’s post several times about the non-season 141 target and their tolerances about that value relative to nerfs/buffs. I suspect that things have changed on their end. In general, a builds top clears correlate with their 5k paragon clears (There are exception such as the old thorns necromancer). I bet they looked at the data and their new target is GR 144. As such, their good balance range at the top end in GR 142-146. This would make sense with their nerf to crusaders and the fact that they stated that DH and Necromancer will be buffed in patch 2.6.9.
Era 12
Barbarian 146
Crusader 150 (Nerfed in patch 2.6.8)
Demon Hunter 141
Monk 144
Necromancer 137
Witch Doctor 143 (New OP set in patch 2.6.8)
Wizard 145 (Some builds nerfed in patch 2.6.8)
I don’t think it’s going to be in 2.6.9
I’m pretty sure it’s going to be 2.6.10 or w/e for season 22. They might buff a singular build for each but I’m pretty sure their main balance focus is going to be for season 22.
Good lord, I can’t believe I’ve played this game since season 9. I’ve had so much fun so far.
What paragon levels were these 2 WD? Are we disregarding their paragon levels? Why OP doesnt metntion? You cant just look at thier build… If someone took the time to grind paragons to a high number honestly they deserve to have top GR clears.
EU region
RZEŹNIK did a 147 GR with 11,270 paragon.
MAGIUKS did a 143 GR with 8,883 paragon.
Doesn’t prove anything needs nerfing. This arguement about non-season clears is ridiculous. So anyone leveling from very low paragon levels has to listen to someone saying it is OP is just missing the obvious people with that much paragon are too OP to begin with.
Danggg if I had 11,270 paragon, i’d hope to have a spot in top 10 atleast.
Yeah I think some players just forget that paragons exist, It actually does help with damage and toughness when you have a significant amount of points. Need to consider EVERYTHING when deciding a build/set needs a nerf or buff.
Oh no the FOTM rollers seem out and about. Too bad you can’t comprehend how to have fun other than feeling superior to other classes that aren’t as strong
Oh yeah that’s right. Witch doctors haven’t been strong for years, why should that change? Let’s nerf them to the ground where they belong because my class cannot compete. WD players haven’t had this much fun clearing high GRs for months, let’s keep it that way. Why should anyone have any fun if I can’t?
