Thank you Nevalistis, your communication with us through all this has been stellar and much appreciated. Thanks in advance to the devs for not letting this nonsense go live with S19. It would have been a broken season that would only be fun for 1 class.
You do realize how ridiculous that sounds right? Crusader has the damage to solo over the 150 cap right now before the seasonal buff, in a 4 player meta with seasonal buff they’ll do GR160 viable damage. GR160 you say? That’s not even in the game that’s stupid, exactly my point!
Fine take 10k paragon out of the equation then, there’s 130 clears with 2-3k paragon, crap augments and half baked gear going on right now. You think that’s fine and dandy then you clearly just don’t care about any balance in the game.
Okay we’ll all roll Crus for gem levels next season, what a fun meta! Yah no, let the devs do their thing, Crus likely will still be RGK by default since Thorns necro sucks now. Ideally you’d want them to be pretty equal, but I don’t think anyone is going to cry if Crus is better than Thorns necro next season, not even Necro mains like Thorns so the meta change is very welcome.
It would actually be nice to know what philosophy management has for the game.
Do they want to allow solo 150’s, if so what level is acceptable? 10,000?, Do they want 150 groups and if so how fast, strong do they want it to be.
With you guys constantly changing on how you want us to play, it is hard for any of us to hit the mark with a moving target. Imagine all the hard work and time and resources that some people may have spent to make a nice new sader, to only have it changed. Do we get any of our resources back, augments back because the company can’t decide how it wants us to play your game???
It’s a shame that the players get the penalty when the developers can’t adjust their game mechanics right.
well if barb doesn’t get buffed again AND crusader get its build overnerfed i definetly don’t play next season (and i expect the season to do poorly if that will happen)
Who cares.
I play solo, and give a rats a$$ what some no lifer can achieve with
his 10k paragon.
I want the game to be fun, and I want to feel powerful.
Crusader is fun now, leave it alone, and buff Rend on Lamentation
200%, preferably 300%.
Stop basing class corrections on players with extremely high paragon that complete high gr clears. That is not fair for the vast majority of the community that cannot achieve what these top tier players have completed.
We all wan to feel powerful and have fun. No more nerfs, buff the other classes.
nah, solo clears 150, No class should be able/allowed to solo clear GR 150 in the current iteration of the game. It is not intended. The AoV build does infact need to be reigned in a bit, ideally to the 138-140 range.
Playing seasonal you just don’t have the same unfair advantage, maybe what should happen is a nerf only applied to non season players, make it more challenging then a high GR cake walk! .
AoV did went a little wild but the real culprit is Shield of Fury. If possible please consider cap all effects like this. Even a high cap will make everything much more balancable.
Fix the Barb nerf. To put it kindly you guys made a huge mistake that had zero logic behind it with that nerf. Every one can see this. Not sure why you guys can’t.
Disagree. LoD HF RGK is not as broken using the same mechanic. Its constraint is fury issue + raw damage is set multipliers (9850 vs 20k). Easiest tweak to balance AoV rgk is reduce its 2pc power. Our clan discussion is dropping the 100% to 50% to start with and perfect the fine tuning with what ever % it’s suitable. In it’s current form, fist of heaven is an utility rather than a skill that the set was supposed to focus on largely due to the 2pc interaction.
Shield of fury is not unique to AoV rgk, the 2pc set bonus is. Whats broken is AoV, not other forms of HF rgk.
How long to ‘evaluate’ these things? Cause I’m confused. We have a PTR for that purpose. And if I remember it right, you quickly ‘evaluate’ ww rend and completely renove the added skill power that they called it ‘overahoot’. Is this what you call balance? Pls someone educate me.
Judging by the response from Nev, it is likely that all they are going to do atm is cut the 6pc bonus of the new Crusader set from 20k to either 10k or 8k.
it also sounds like we are not getting buffs for the Barb unfortunately
Just saying thats a slippery slope
