Itās not clear the class needs a defensive overhaul, they need to fix resists. The primary defensive stat for sorc is resists, and the resists arenāt doing anything.
Of course, this is the blizz clown car so they donāt even have a timeline that this is going to be fixed, maybe by s2. lol
The offensive power of most of their abilities needs to be DRAMATICALLY increased though. Frozen orb, fireball, hydras, chain lightning, etc. all broken and useless.
Since youāve mentioned the developers, I think they did a really good job with the game overall.
On the other hand, Blizzard Management, which is responsible for monetization like battlespasses, and content planning like Seasons, I think is truly failing us all. In the end of the day, someone like Rod Fergusson at some point looked at Season 1 and said OK, thatās good enough, letās do that.
I always thought it felt like stuff was shifted from the core game to seasons on purpose just to make seasons look better. This wouldnāt be so much of an issue of the core game wasnāt so lackluster once the honeymoon period wore off.
Not ARPGs. Only in Diablo apparently. Normally you can keep the power on the eternal realm you just may not be able to farm more of the seasonal mechanic. Sometimes even the mechanic rolls over.
There really is much to like about the game, but I have to agree, the loot pool is excessively poor, the loot drops are excessively poor. As a loot based game, this might quite possibly be the worst Iāve ever played.
Iām still shocked at how many of you people donāt realize how seasons work. its baffling. this is seasonal content its does not stay. if it did all this would be would be another diablo 3 where before long you would have items that give 60,000% inc dmg. the devs even addressed this in the dev stream
There literally was no item in Diablo 3 that gave you that kinda damage. You obviously never played it. Infinite paragon points are what gave people unlimited power.
Seasons in D4 are DIRECT models from Diablo 3, that is straight from Joeās mouth. You couldnāt keep things in Diablo 3 seasons either.
Alright you are correct. I guess in my D4 rage I have been blinded and forgot. Yes, those sets together gave you that kinda power, but a single item didnāt. You also wernāt guaranteed to clear a 150 just because you had that set, you had to have extensive paragon and near perfect rolls to supplement.
