Andariel Visage Nerf

So apparently not news if you read every patch note. But I want to prevent others from falling into the same trap as me.

Andariel Visage has an internal Cooldown which makes it no longer viable for Andy Rogue. Speaking from first hand experience too. Just finished the build and its damage is quite poor. This after scraping 3 other Mythics and killing over 300 bosses just for those 3 Mythics to scrap.

On that note, mythic drop rate on T4 is 1% at best.

And… with Andariel nerf I’m officially done with this game. Because Blizzard has to make everything online and these builds are bogging down there poor baby Dell Workstation Servers and because they’re control freaks rather then letting it stay on the PC for calculations I’m done with this game.

Tired of things changing under my nose and ruining the game I payed for because they want complete control over it by keeping it all online and live and it ruining my gaming experience.

Ever wonder why Baulders Gate 3 did better than any Blizzard game everwill? I’m not just done with Diablo 4, I’m done with Blizzard.

because Andariel is now for SpiritBorn, ofcourse …
there is a SB Andy build that can do Pit 140+, so, if you anyway struggled to get an Andy, level up a SB :slight_smile:

I think I’m ok with that given how many top-end builds on multiple classes were turning into "don’t worry about your own damage so much, just proc a ton of stuff with insane lucky hit and let Andy’s do it for you. Pure Barrage was a much more entertaining build for me but I get that everybody’s different. Safe travels, friend! :v:

It was a very difficult build to itemize for that requires i think 2 other uniques. It wasn’t just a slap on a helmet thing. So people who don’t understand what’s going on shouldn’t have a say in the matter.

Then again… everyone still votes in presidential elections…

if any nerf or change upsets you this much in a live service game, all we can say is good bye felicia.

it doesn’t have a cooldown. only the animation does. you still deal all damage you’re supposed to without any restrictions.

i mean feel free to correct me. but andariels did receive an internal cooldown on possible procs. not just the animation. hence why andariels rogue dropped so hard in the tier lists.

it fell pretty much to C tier, from being an absolute S+ Tier.

Ah, yes. You are very smart and informed, whereas I, with my 50+ Mythics last season, who also ran an Andy’s Rogue, am very dumb. Thank you for the reminder that my buddies and I had to work really, really hard to make it work. For the record though, a well-built pure Barrage Rogue wasn’t too far behind the Andy Rogue, and as I said before, a lot more fun to play, at least for me. You should have already had a good build put together before ever acquiring the Andy’s. Be mad at the new difficulty levels and how T4 just hard blocks most builds from entry while 90% of SB builds are doing Pit100+, not me. :joy:

What’s the cooldown now?

So in S5, as long as you have 100% LH, the poison procs every time? But now 100% LH procs based on the cooldown?

when you had 100% lucky hit, you had a 20% chance to proc a poison nova.

About the internal cooldown, no idea… but i assume its huge. i mean, it dropped to C tier… ill try to see if i find something on it.

Edit, i dont seem to find any solid data on the inherent proc cooldown. Just that its there. I assume not too many people tested it yet?

I might check it later with my Andy but not sure if it’s relevant test anymore because the difficulty tiers had been changed

I was one of those poison rogues who uses flurry with andariels and with its nerf i’m forced to either play barrage(which I hate) or blade dance which I hate that game play. I like being a thick of things with my weapons, now I’m watching spiritborns doing MORE POISON DAMAGE than us rogues. I’m so confused now, how is that fair they can do more poison damage then a rogue who theme is (Poisons/assassinations/stealth and quick kills)

Gah… this upsets me so much.

Andariel’s Visage has an internal cooldown now because Blizzards laptops doubling as game servers cannot handle too many calculations because they need to control everything and keep it server side?

Yea I’m officially done with thia game now.

That was my favorite rogue build.

You are wrong Andy did not receive an internal cooldown lucky hit effects accross the board got an internal cooldown

Oh god even worse. Literally uninstalling right now.

Andariels Barrage Rogue was one of my favorite builds ever. So, so much fun. So of course they nerfed it.
