We had a wish list in the old forums so I’ll just store the discussion recap here as it will be fun to compare the result with the new patch.
So, how many votes each skill got after about 400 posts:

I am eagerly awaiting the PTR. I think it’ll be this week or the next. At least, I hope so. I am not exactly hopeful for sweeping (really, I’d settle for interesting) changes, but hope springs eternal.
Logically, it’ll be the season of Travelling (endless Walk) or the Season of Will (Focus and Restraint.)
That’s the problem, isn’t it? It’s BEEN years. I know it must be harder to make changes then I think, but surely it can’t be that hard to change +1 extra hydra (for example) to +2. I wonder if the Diablo team has something similar to WoW Editor. I really can’t explain the (seemingly) reluctant hesitation to make simple, painless changes to items to freshen the game up.
That is probably because most of the Diablo team has been moved to work on D4.
D3 is either having only a small amount of people left who work on it, or it is in the hands of the classic team, but I don’t know how big that team is or what their priorities are (probably Warcraft 3 Reforged is higher on their priority list than D3, who knows…).
According to the Jason Schreier article, the D3 team was told to move on to D4 briefly before RoS was launched, so it is possible that even a few weeks or so after RoS was launched, the D3 team was significantly reduced, which would explain why D3 hasn’t gotten too much attention, even some of the things that really needed it.
If you wanna keep your thread alive even more, you could copy all the stuff that was written in it into a word document, because it otherwise will get lost when the old forum disappears in about a month or so - according to CM’s the old forum will not be available for much longer.
Then if you want, you can copy all that stuff into this thread.
That’s just it. So many available skills, so much potential. Yet it seems they chose to neglect the majority of them. Even from then.
I was hopeful when they started with seasons. New items were being released consistently. I thought the left over crew were going to drip feed us enough items, to at least support all the damage dealing class skills, so one day we would have what could have been a solid arpg with a ton of variety.
I for one, was content with that.
The implementation did have its problems, but imo, they were at least on the right track at that point in time.
Then as we know, even that stopped and we haven’t really seen any major content other than the kanai cube patch, and later on perhaps with the Necro DLC.
I still like the game for what it is. Just dissapointed they arent going to “finish” the game I guess.
Votes do not relate to relevancy to requiring buffs (I mean look at WW, if you look at the total posts for it over the years…). For example, there will be people who want Vyr buffed, but no sane person would ever do that since its already far past any other build in the game currently.
