Ofc PTR gives inflated figures and we know that. If you actually tested PTR thoroughly you ll know any average paragon of 1k that solo past 130+ is the kill streak that does the killings. How many of you been to s19 PTR 150?? I have and personally watched how every 3rd meteor killings 15 mobs grants a chain that provides 3 min progression. Let alone the RG is 1 shot by the broken buff that can be chained up using cow portal EXPLOIT. Now if PTR is loaded with inflated figures, clearly the s19 theme is inflated. Nerfing solo builds whether Rend, Chantodo, Bone Ringer and Star pact will not change the situation. The kill streak will be able to chain up regardless of nerfing them or not, so why the nerf? Why not take a good look at the s19 theme? Many of you dont realize, with enough fishings, a zdps toon with 0% conduit handled by experienced zbarbs will be able to solo 150 using the kill streak. This is intended?
Wake up. The current devs are not capable making logical decisions hence the protest. Its a different situation if a capable team is making the correct calls then everything on PTR is not warranted to live.
Every class is better in s19 than s18. Brother i solo 123 on a nerfed chantodo with all NORMAL gears including weapons, 800 paragon and full defensive gems abusing the kill streak. What about after the season? What about NS, NS are not players? I cant solo 123 on a pre nerf vyrs with normal weapons on live with 8k paragon.
The Rend change just shows devs in capacity and absolutely 0 knowledge to the game. Raekor HoTA has higher ceiling than Rend. Ancients is counter productive in groupings, but with correctly strategies adapted, its doable. Nerfing Rend 7 GR, is laughable. In conjunction with other nerfs, it just shows their fear of any tanky builds(BoM in Rend case) with capable trash clearing power to crack solo 150 with the OP kill streak. Thing is , with enough fishings you dont even need DPS , even zbarb can solo 150 on the RIGHT map.
Any one with eyes sees its the kill streak thats the culprit behind all the nerfs, including chantodo.
