There have been multiple threads to nerf wizards. Some have specifically discussed bazooka (e.g. the last PTR) and other more in general about wizards.
A nerf to necromancers thorns was requested by a “leading” necromancer Lord Fluffy in the necromancer forum on August 27.
As you guys know, I’ve pretty much been exclusively playing/streaming necro since it’s release in Season 11. Over the course of that time, the 3 biggest feedback/complaints I’ve heard about the necro are the following:
Thorns is over-performing/necro push builds are lame
Not only is thorns too strong because it takes advantage of game mechanics but it feels very dull for a few reasons.
Passively doing damage solely based on getting hit is a fairly boring playstyle.
You’re fishing for elit…
Nerf thorns
Again, I don’t really see any way around this nor is it necessarily utilizing legitimate mechanics. Although I’m not usually a fan of nerfing builds, NOT nerfing thorns prevents us from buffing other items on this list… so THE GREATER GOOD
Later in LordFluffy’s thread:
Hi Fluffy.
I’ve been lurking on other class forums ever since we released the Barb Buff Proposal, and I’m really excited to see this from you. I love the work you did here, and I think your suggestions are spot-on.
EDIT: You can add this:
