Just saw this here, not sure if 100% true. If true, karma for the nerf calling wizards.
In the meanwhile, I will keep calling for more nerfs to Demon hunters and Wizards (in light of the analyses of class balances of course. Not fake information). I filled the GD thread with charts and data. All true. It is worse than many realizes. Only 1% of the whole player base can do +125GRs. And all.
FYI: I do not advocate for nerfs in the name of balance. But this PTR cylce showed so many people with bad intentions are pushing for barb nerf due to non existing data. Therefore, if nerf is fine for barb then lets go all out and nerf both DH and Wiz too.
If you want to nerf DH just leave Squirt’s Necklace and UE alone… It’s the only build I play with, but honestly please don’t, cause than you won’t be different from this so called players who’s life is so sad that they need to ask for nerfs to make them feel better…
Just because they get exited seeing others suffering doesn’t mean you have to be such a person too…
I have to say this as well though, getting mad at people when you have something good taken away from you, is pretty normal for humans.
I am just as annoyed and tired as Prokahn. Between the trolls getting what they want and the nerf when it was not really needed, I will not blame anyone for being on edge.
All too often in life, logic only wins in laboratories and sometimes, not even there.
Yes. It is my opinion that the top 2 wizard builds should be nerfed. All metrics that I have seen clearly show the wizards are outliers in temrs of greater rift clearing ability.
I’m okay with it too. Though it removes Wizards from both the speed and push metas, and it’s a third straight season of Chantodo’s, which is more than a little pathetic.
How is it removed? Reverse archon is still a thing which means that the same starpact build will be the trash clearer of choice, if only a bit weaker. Star pact since its firebird incarnation has been trash clearer since s12. 5 min 150s might be over but nothing comes close to it.
Only change is RGK heaven’s fury (huge bonus, unlimited double stacking) and speed rats only forever and ever.
I am flagging this as a troll. Shame on you, Prokahn. You’re better than this. Wizards were not the ones advocating for Barbarian nerfs. I play a Wizard, and I advocated for Bazooka nerfs. I think barbs were overnerfed, personally. I would have slashed the 2 piece Waste buff to 400% and left Lamentation alone if a nerf was necessary.
I hate the Rat speed meta. My issues were this patch is once again Rats is unsurpassed in speeds. Chantodo's was a fairly competitive alternative, but not anymore. Also, Chantodo's being best build, for the third straight season. I'm tired of looking for the exact same items for the last year.
Sorry man, I suggest you to flag MicroRNA and other 1-2 post counted trolls in PTR forums please. EasyFrank etc etc. They are easy to spot.
I decided to change my approach to balance now. I will advocate for nerf high achievers and buff lower achievers to come close to the middle ground approach. Which is actually the other approach for balance.
We advocated for buff underperformers close to the higher performers and never nerf anybody. However, the rest of the players seem to not share this sentiment when it comes to the barbarian class. For 7 years, we are not able to play this class in groups except ZDPS. We don’t like playing it this way.
So why we become the victim always. Please go ahead and flag me. Forget all the past contributions. Alright. But I would expect you do the same to all the real trolls lurking in PTR and GD forums. They are the real culprit.
The problem with Micro's posts are they are *not* trolling. He at least tries to back up his postulations with theory. I may not always agree, and sometime his logic is stretched or outright flawed, but that's not trolling.
Trolling is saying something like "I'm glad Wizards got nerfed, that's karma." That's an outright troll. While I can't say some Wizards didn't advocate to have barbs toned down, it wasn't just Wizards, and I don't think anyone wanted them toned down as much as they were.
Also, I damn well KNOW it sucks. I have been a wizard since *before* D3 launched. I have playing NOTHING but WIzard, including when we were wizdogs from Season 1-3. Console yourself that your at least part of *both* metas, even if it's in a zDPS role. But yes, I would like to see Barbs competitive on solo GR climbing, just as I would like to see all classes have a possible role in group GRs.
Troll: states something to just see people go nuts.
Here is the issue. Micro spammed numbers. Graphs. They were wrong and did not consider the gameplay required, compared to other classes as well.
Necro, Dh, Wd, Wizard has been on top for a while now, not so much Wd, but yeah.
He never really spoke about these classes nor showed any spam numbers of them.
While Wizard reigned with 145s and Necros beside them, he was next to not being heard or seen.
He discussed with people knowing a whole lot more than him, explaining him what the issues was with his statements.
He refused to listen and when he is called out for his errors with proof, he does not reply.
He talked about he wants balance for all classes, then proceeded to say Barbarians should be nerfed. Contradicted himself again and again.
Someone proclaming he advocates for a balance between all classes and only talks negative/about nerfs to Barbarians and not the REAL op classes is considered a troll.
