Popped a 138 with Nerfed WW Rend

10,200 paragon, insane gear, 9,000,000 sheet damage

Crimson, Zodiac, COE, BK, Taeguk, Trapped, Stricken

Spent a few keys for a floor 1 fester with decent trash

damage is garbage

sorry folks

it’s dead

You’ll be back to fishing insane maps to clear many tiers below other classes unless you’re on Season and have the season power

Just like many predicted, Blizzard over-reacted

It’s like playing HotA with furnace in the cube. Or worst! Doesn’t make any sense!!

Thanks for testing. Do you think a ww + rend build with skull grasp could be better since lamentation is nerfed?

Do we have to pick up a new Ambo’s for the new effect to show up?

No I do not

Because if you go the WW route you need a source of attack speed, which used to be Pain Enchancer or Echoing Fury, which you won’t have now

I’m sorry

This looks incredibly bad

I did a 138 with my DH last era and my DH would have eviscerated that map

WW Rend couldn’t even touch yellows

Will it be able to do 134-136 with insane amounts of fishing? yes, maybe

But the problem with this build was always the extreme fishing it had to do, so we’re back to square one with this nerf

As a boomer, I have to ask. Does ‘popped’ in this context mean ‘cleared in time’, or ‘failed’?

It means I put a 138 key in there to try it out

When I got a good map, I was able to compare that the damage is now very bad

Definitely did not clear it, 138 feels like extreme fishing territory for the build now

So I assume you didn’t clear it? Meaning if you couldn’t do it, I sure as hell dont see captain potatoes doing it.

No I just left the game

It could be possible assuming perfect conditions

But my DH can do a lot better than this with worse gear

WW is now undertuned

How are you guys cubing Ambo’s? I have two of them but they don’t have the bonus even after reforging… It has to be a new drop?

Yes, new drop.
And true, rend ww hits like the proverbial wet noodle…

Arch,

Could you tell use the build you tried?

Jazz answered before me. He is right. Reforging will keep the old affix.

That sucks, alright thanks guys

Just forge some sovereign limb cleavers (mighty weapons) and upgrade in cube.

Aw man I was eager to try this new build. I thought it still had potential. Well thanks for testing it anyway.

Thanks blizz. I hope you read this.
