Waiting for your constructive feedback on this.

One week (night & day) was necessary to create this proposal distributed over 30 new items, so don’t expect to fully understand all interactions before at least one week.

Summary : Zero damage

Season : You deal zero damage, but instead have a new alteration mechanic to kill monsters with low multipliers (to fight power creep), and you are able to distribute inventory on your party. Currently, one Trag’Oul’s Avatar (Necromancer) is required to optimize party damage. It does Whirlwind Grim Scythe, auto-Final Embrace and long-range teleport with Blood Golem. Party members have to lose life and increase their hit ratio (attack speed, area, etc) to maximize throughput. Having in your party a Monk equipped with Flying Dragon (Chance to double your attack speed when attacking) is expected to produce interesting results. You also have valid solo options with any companion.

You are strongly advised to look at the poster image, ideally on a 4K display to avoid zoom-in, get the big picture, colors, in-game fantasy feeling, be able to link all items interactions, and fully understand the proposal. The poster image is a lot easier to read than the textual version.

If you are only equipped with a small display (ex: smartphone), here is a textual version :

Developer Note

A new way to play Diablo III

During the last decade, 20 millions of players made Diablo III one of the most successful games in the world. After 10 years, the time has come to introduce new concepts, new items and toughen up the challenge. This season will shake core mechanics, and reshape your experience of Diablo III.

Seasonal Theme

  1. Shrines and Pylons are removed
  2. Your party deal 20,000% less damage
  3. You receive a Hemorrhagic Shard

Hemorrhagic Shard

Shaking core mechanics is not an easy task. One way is to cast aside previous mechanics to avoid side effects. This Seasonal Theme makes very hard to slain monsters through regular means. You are invited to use the Hemorrhagic Shard offered at Season start. This item negates all your damage output, but instead allows you to deal a new kind of alteration, Hemorrhage, based on weapon damage. Hemorrhage comes with its own multipliers. Regular items multipliers, skills multipliers, Primary Attributes multipliers won’t apply. At this point, 90% of the game content becomes obsolete. But wait, there’s more.

Slaughtering Agreement

Another important item this season is the Slaughtering Agreement. This ring enables its wearers to emanate legendary powers from each others, making you able to manage a global inventory, distributed on all party
members. Furthermore, a Necromancer equipped with the new Trag’Oul’s Avatar 6 pieces bonus will allow your party not only to improve the Hemorrhagic loss you deal, but also to emanate set powers among party members. As legendary and set powers cannot stack (they are unique), you will need to wisely distribute the 10% still useful legendary and set powers among your party members in order to optimize your build. Instead of thinking your party as a group of isolated builds, think your party as a single organism.

Bloodbending for the Lone Wolf

Want to play solo this season ? With Bloodbending Doll, you order your companion to behave like a clone and use skills identical to yours. With Lone Wolf, you are granted increased experience and magic find bonuses.

We hope these changes will empower players to explore new strategies in both solo and group play compositions. We are comitted to deliver more updates in the next months. Thank you for your creative suggestions and your unwavering support. Your feedback is always appreciated.

I did not saw the image. But based on past encounters whit Isend, its probably something over complicated overpowerd shenanigan. Trang needs rework there’s no doubt, but WDs need more love and buffs to sets right now, Trangs can wait.

I took a glance at the image and at the very least it is very overcomplicated.

I said constructive feedback.

How can i give feedback when i can’t see the image?:laughing:

To be fair, saying some suggestion is overcomplicated is constructive feedback. It very basic but still constructive feedback.

The more overcomlicated the system is, the less diversity it’ll have. It’ll leave very little room for creativity.

I’m sorry OP but all the changes you’re suggesting is NEVER going to happen. You’ll have a better chance starting a new game than implementing all these changes, affixes and items for one build!

Holy smokes man, it’s hard to read all the changes on ALL those items.
Simplify it a bit, get rid of all the new items than have no chance in being implemented, then add a synopsis. Maybe then people would respond?

Is this constructive enough?

The art is really well done and all, but you should have not only focused on a different class, but I only read two items. The doll thing, which is an interesting idea but INSTANTLY sways the balance (the one for the follower). Then there’s the ring that works between all users. I stopped after that because a 4 man would beat grift 150 in the first hour of a season.

It’s too big of an image and VERY busy. You would never be able to read it on a phone. I can barely read it on a computer screen. 30+ items with descriptions, main character build and follower and notes.

17

Really, this is your first post and you used it to flame someone? If you have so much time on your hands, then tell us what you think about the build? Where is YOUR constructive criticism.

Classic Isend over shooting everithing.

Not too much reading, just the small amount I read proved to me it wasn’t worth reading. Just the ring didn’t have the idea of balance. Effectively, it’s there to make grift 150 feel like 70. What OP I believe doesn’t understand is, legendary power isn’t stopped at legendary items, set bonuses count as well unless specified, at least from my knowledge. Even ASSUMING that isn’t true, it would still be a huge boon in a party. Just have 2 zdps with anything you’d ever want and bam, you invincible. Instead of having 2 oculus, you’d have 1 which is effectively 4 now etc.

EDIT: To be clear, even in a party that consists of all different classes, all they would have to do is wear something that “increases your damage by X” type of sets. Like DH wear 2 piece shadows. Instantly got a 61x multiplier for your entire party. JUST THAT would be enough to face roll a 150.

The actual reading of all the Items descriptions and affects is one thing, trying to decipher and calculate the ramifications of all these changes and new items is mind boggling. Waiter! Check please!
