Diablo III | PTR 2.7.0 Has Ended!

If frustburn had only the freezechance i would say ok but with frostburns providing cold-elemental-dmg i dont think they should add it.

Agreed. Followers do not use Cold Skills. So, your Character would only receive the “50% chance to Freeze enemies” if the Frostburn Gloves had Emanates and only if your Character was using Cold Skills.

I’m not sure I follow you, but I agree. Weapon-Range Damage is just extra Damage. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Elemental or just raw Damage. This Property does not emanate anyway. So, only the Follower would receive the extra %Cold Damage.

And that’s probably why it’s not an Emanates item.

  1. None of the Followers use Cold Skills.
  2. Primary and Secondary Properties do not emanate to your Character.
  3. Only the Follower would gain the extra %Cold Damage and you can enchant that on any item that can have Weapon-Range Damage.

I really liked what was happening with the revamped Rathma and Jesseth Sets for the necromancer… FINALLY, a necro set that looked AWESOME, like a REAL minion-mancer whose collective power of undead minions gives him the ability to raise forth an Army of the Dead to vanquish foes. And what’s Blizzard’s response to that? “No, we want to ‘preserve the fantasy’…” and nerf it. If it was too powerful, simply make it less powerful, but don’t rob us of what looked like it was going to the coolest-looking, most fun playing, and most true-to-the-original necromancer vision to-date.

The game is extremely unbalanced as it is… and always has been TBH… If their goal was to make “all sets equal” (this is the exact quote from the developers: Developer’s Note: Mundunugu’s Regalia is overperforming compared to other sets. This change to Gazing Demise should simplify the gameplay mechanic while reducing its damage output.) then how on earth would nerfing this set accomplish it? The other sets are still not going to be used because they were left behind… the OTHER sets are what need attention

If you wish to compare this set to others sets (Why are you comparing to other sets anyway? How about comparing to other classes?!?) then it doesn’t take a genius to see that ALL other sets are way underpowered… and therefore all other builds are not used.

Would it not make more sense to buff those other set up to the levels of the Mundunugo set so that WD players have MORE CHOICES for VIABLE BUILDS?!?

So you are saying they need to nerf Mundunugu more?

Nerfing one set seems much easier than buffing a bunch of others.

They should also compare to other classes. As in, both. Those classes likely have sets too which need to be nerfed. That doesnt mean you shouldn’t nerf the strongest WD set though.

Umm… no…

Necros with HALF my paragon are wiping out elites before I can… but yet they chose to nerf the WD … wut?!?

Easy is not always best… ALL the other WD set have been abandoned… because they are not only weaker than Mundunugo, but also weaker than other clasess’ sets… I don’t see why this isn’t clear to them… The leaderboards speak for themselves… The WD is the lowest (maybe tied with Monk) of ALL classes… so why is the WD being nerfed… it is un-necessary… (clearly).

Agree… but they pick on the WD… always… Let’s not forget this is the 2nd nerf in a row to this set… yet Necros are 2-3 times more powerful…

This is an excellent post that shows facts to back up the thoughts shared… Well done! I think I may follow suit with the America’s stats for comparison.

EDIT: Back with the numbers for the American realm… they speak for themselves…

These are the same stats for American realm:
barb - 120
crusader - 121
dh - 127
monk - 116
necro - 136
wd - 117
wizard - 124

number of GR150 clears
wd: 0 none
necro: 129

why only 2 sets per class can put on followers ? and why none sets from necro? i want to dress them in all sets.

So, you wanted to diversify the Necro sets because they all felt the same, right? Okay, that makes sense. But then you changed the one set (Rathma) that was actually different. So now skeleton mages are worthless and it’s just army spam. Help me understand

Well, there’s usually two full weeks after a PTR ends before a new season starts. If the PTR stays at two weeks duration, it will end on Thursday 11th March. Two weeks after that is Thursday 25th March. It’s unlikely to be the day after that, so take it to the next Friday, which would be April 2nd.

Hi Blizzard, been playing since launch and I just have a couple ideas not mentioned here:

Make Hellfire Ammy and Ring a set but keep their respective bonuses.

Make Slanderer and Little Rogue compatible with Shadow Mantle DH.

Add a damage increasing bracers for DH (personally, I like strafe)

Add +elemental damage for Fire Walkers and Ice Climbers

Add a damage multiplier increase roll for Kridershot and Sword of Ill Will. i.e. Elemental Arrow now generates 3-4 Hatred and does 500% increase damage.

Add an affix for The Raven’s Wing that increases damage of pets by 100%

Thank you for reading!
