Called It: Fun Police Cry for DH Nerfs

Are you, like me, cracking up that the Fun Police are posting in a thread dedicated to calling out their nonsense?

This stuff writes itself . . . :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If you asked 1,000 representative D3 players what is more fun,

A. A well-balanced game where the power of classes was similar
vs.
B. A game where one or two classes were overpowered, meaning the other classes were weak in comparison.

I suspect the vast majority would vote for A.

If you think you are correct about the majority viewpoint on “Fun police”, I would strongly encourage you to move this thread to general discussion for a more broad perspective.

I’m also noticing judicious use of… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_to_Coventry

Do you mean asking a question like what class is stronger in solo than the GoD DH when the title of the thread is “Called It: Fun Police Cry for DH Nerfs”? Or a question like what do people consider more fun good balance versus OP builds? These questions would appear to be on-topic.

The first post in this thread would argue otherwise.

As we must, good friend, as we must.

I’m not sure if I like the use more of judicious, or send to coventry…or that you got them into the one sentence. :rofl:

That’s the way the Developers have fashioned the game from day one and if anyone thinks this game is going to be balanced where all classes and builds are similar anytime soon as long as there is Paragon levels and rampant cheating going on, before D4 comes out, dream on!

I’m talking about seasonal

This thread is causing the marriage rates of Barbarians to go down.
It’s because we’re refusing to engage.

My suspcion is that the 2nd most powerful solo class is currently necromancer. See:

The forums are meant as a place for civil discussion. This thread has more than 150 posts where you can see who the most common posters are. The top most frequent poster have 24 and 18 posts as of now.

Who do you think are alts?

Kindran, Kikaha, BlessedWrath, Endeavor, Zelendel, etc… are definitely not me.

My appearance in this thread was well after its creation.

Nah, Between DH,WWBarb,WD,PS and CE Necro and Sader the top clear end of season wil be very close i reckon 2 Gr’s max power diff between the top 6 builds.

Shadow is the best starter set bar none it always happens when Shadow is starter this season DH was just lucky to get their new set as well which gave them a massive jump start to season but its more because off shadow start.
It will all even out

I think the general consensus is that the most informative way to compare build power is to look at non-seasons, as classes benefit differentially from seasonal buffs.

Without the non-season leaderboard reset, it will be difficult to know the precise current power of AoV crusaders and MR witch doctors; however, the timestamps of top leaderboard clears for these 2 classes indicate that all were pre-patch 2.6.9 and the nerfs to these classes.

Due to the cap, it artificially lowers differences. Specifically, how do compare a class with one worldwide clear of GR 148 (barbarians) to DHs where there are 17 GR 150 clears including from a player below 10K paragon or by another player in under 12 minutes. Therefore, the difference in power between barbs and DH are currently 2 GRs, but in reality that power difference is greater in that DHs could clear beyond GR 150 if not for the cap.

This earlier post in this thread is a few days out of date but shows the non-season data:

Why do you fight for balance, when you are super casual. I think that people with double your paragon AT LEAST, who are devoted to this game, should be forcing nerfs into our throats.

Im glad that we have people like for example Free and Dieoxide, who take care about us, players. We dont want nerfs, we want more power to enjoy every new patch. We want to see bigger numbers and OPness.

I think that you would not like when newcomer at your workplace started revolution in company, where you feel good and safe.

Cheers.

For patch 2.6.9, I have actively advocated for DH (and necromancer) buffs as well as buffs to monks and barbarians pre-patch 2.6.7. As a recent example, you can see the thread here that I made. There is a difference between wanting a class buffed appropriately and wanting a class to be OP.

I feel that it is the right thing to do. Should I advocate to have a poorly balanced game instead?

HPS change is more of hassle than improvement, because rolling good HPS is horrible and now you have another thing to look after.

Shadow can be buffed by set bonus increase. Simple change and good QOL improvement.

That would also work. Since Blizzard changed the numbers already on HPS in the PTR, I figured they could just change HPS to something more generous. If you read the thread, I am ok with changing the set bonus.
