63.1% VS 36.9% this isn't even up to debate at this point can we finally put nerf SB to rest

I mean it makes sense a lot of players play Bugborne so they want to keep their power, espec when you can have average eq and still be better that other classes.
It should have been fixed before launch during beta.

No other class can speedfarm 110 pits to get ancestrals/exp with average eq like SB.

Having fun? You or that poll doesn’t represent all the players. Having fun while playing an overpowered class because of bugs and exploits? Why bother playing other classes when life is so much easy with my Spiritborn? Only one legendary glyph but able to do a Tier 100. This season is so stupid.

Well y’all can complain, and whine all you want, I’ll continue to enjoy myself. NOT at anyone of y’alls expense mind you, I doubt you’ll see me.

But if you happen to see me please point and say, “look” as I kill the mobs for you. :kissing_heart:

There’s been many threads on this already. Let’s stop pretending this is somehow something new.

This is a multiplayer game, either we like it or not. Any non-instanced area consisting of multiplayer events is affected by the new class. Other than the multiplayer dungeon, this includes Helltides, World Bosses, overworld events, and even the seasonal theme. So, yeah. It’s pretty clear a bugged, unbalanced class is in fact affecting everyone’s fun when it’s around all these activities.

If you guys want to play broken, bugged classes then ask Blizzard for offline/solo mode or a way to toggle yourselves out of all multiplayer activities.

There have been many threads open by the Kyovashad comrades making demand outside of Nahantu. Do not pretending we don’t where they come from, as we are working closely with the Border Patrol.

If your issue of a class affecting others in multiplayer events, then sorcerer need to be nerfed as their AOE screen clearing spell has affected many class include SB in farming the trash mobs. The last time I was in Helltide, a Fireball Sorc destroy all 30 spiders spawned by the mother, left no off spring. The sorc has severely diminish my experience in the open world as I am limited to farming the Blood Maiden and world boss.

There is already evidence of the sorcerer’s crime in the video below which Blizzard has not fix since S0, please scroll to 0:14.

Maybe Blizzard should just start with minor balance adjustments for SB, like 99% dmg reductions for example. The people voting against balancing probably wouldn’t notice that.

Every single class should be nerfed, so yeah.

You, having a laugh at it doesn’t make it less true. The fact that multiplayer events and the overworld in general have been a meme since launch is a major reason why most people think this game is garbage.

It is called shadow nerf, maybe already happened and we don’t aware about it.

Claiming multiplayer and overworld events affected is a very weak defense of the Kyo’s gang agenda to nerf the DLC class they have no access to. Everyone on the earth know players in this kind of ARPG is only interested in the loot and gears, not the mobs and boss they claim deleted by SB and left them the loots effortlessly. If players really enjoy engaging with boss and trash mobs, I think they are playing a wrong game. POE2 Beta is opening, all this ARPG boss enjoyer can actively engage with the boss fight which you need to roll dodge their attack. They can login to D4 again if they miss the fast loot experience.

Probably 90% of the D4 players now are SBs. Obviously, they don’t want their build to be nerfed. At least, the vast majority doesn’t.

Did Blizzard really come up with a pool to decided if the class should be nerfed or not? This seems so unprofessional for a major game developer. It is their job to evaluate whether or not they have done with the new class is broken or not.

Why not a pool asking if we want an Ancestral or even a Mythic dropping each time we kill a Boss? This pool if real is just ridiculous.

Here’s what will happen if they nerf SB into the dirt:

Majority of the community will be upset and probably even have doubts about the dev teams vision. Quite a few will just outright leave the game for several seasons out of disgust due to its gutting. Some might literally leave for good and never come back.

No idea who is making these calls but I don’t think they’re making things better for the game and the community. We’ve had a year and a half to get this supposed magical class balance and I don’t think it has ever really happened (and at this prob never will).

So in my little opinion I’d say just buff everything up to SB and embrace the op buggy punchy builds, and design for it even more overall. Hell maybe even add in super op Mythic Uniques that are class specific that make things even crazier.

It may seem weak to you, but it’s a pretty strong argument for many people. Those activities you’re scoffing at, were a major selling point for this game. Not everyone is into just blasting.

If this is a strong argument, this already included in the coming patch.

You can still hold on to your weak defense, which convince no one other than the player outside of DLC. Good luck in convincing Blizzard to change their stance of no mid season nerf by spamming similar post in the forum. Keep trying, don’t give up since you guys have nothing else to do in the game.

Ten thousand votes is not a majority of the player base, it’s barely a drop in the bucket. You can try to spin it any way you want but, it needs to be fixed. Not hating, I even bought the ultimate edition and I’m refusing to play the class because of all the broken interactions. It’s my choice to do so just like it’s your choice to play a fundamentally flawed class while following a guide that stacks bugged aspects and paragon nodes to hit numbers the game can’t properly truncate like “1,493,234T”.

This is why you never ever buy an expansion right from the get go because this will be the utter garbage to deal with at the very beginning until they get their act together and maybe decide to iron the trash out later on.

You mean like how they spent 10 years designing all other classes and demolishing 90% of the build variety of every single one of them after pre-season 1?

Yeah SB is fun. Just keep the unintended SB health/barrier/overpower formula and apply it to the rest of the classes. I think their damage will sky rocket too!

Nah SB needs to be nerfed to the ground. It’ll take some balls from Blizz devs obviously since they’ll risk losing around 90% of the playerbase, but if they play their cards right(nerf it bit by bit every week rather than just nuke it) then they can get away with losing 30-50% of the player base.

You know what I just figured… ?

This might be a bit too much reading into it but this 36% of the playerbase also tells another story IMO

  • It’s probably a good indicator of how many % of the playerbase DID NOT buy the Expansion

Reading a bit too much into it ? - maybe, probably, but must also say the obvious - GJ at destroying the game (or at least the hype for it) with cheap salesman tactics, folks

The problem is now that if they nerf SB then many people will complain because they spent like 200-300 hours in this build and i somehow understand them, even if i didn’t play with SB so much.

So they only thing they can do now to please the rest of people is to buff other classes.

But if they buff other classes there is another problem.
Do we really want every build doing trillions of damage and everything is brain dead smashing buttons?

They had to balance before VoH release, now it’s kinda late for this season.
