Why is the base damage of ball lightning with + 19 item levels, with 25 total 33,000? Two entire new builds with two brand new unique items designed specifically for this and the damage is just horrible can the dps for this be increased somehow?

They changed Enhanced Ball Lightning and never compensated by buffing Ball Lightning itself. And Okuns Catalyst is kinda fine. For Strike of Stormhorn, though I believe it wasn’t bug fixed. Cause after reading the patch notes it should potentialy be up to 4.7x stronger than on PTR, but it’s the same damage.
If there are bugs or not I hope they will do something with it in the Mid Season update.
Ball Lighting, Chain Lightning, Ice Shard, FireBALL, Blizzard, Firewall, even Charged Bolt all need to have their spell damage doubled.
We cannot do single target damage because we were designed around AoE before a pit boss was envisioned.

You clearly haven’t played lightning.
Season 6 lightning damage per +5 was reduced from 48% to 45% (if I remember correctly).
This season they reduced it to 33%. Of course it won’t do damage, it just debuffs attacks.
They also systematically reduced damage and hit chance every damn season.
P.S. My advice is to make requests on the support forum. You can start from the average damage of other classes. They can’t ignore a request on the support forum.
Better create your own topic. And I think it’s worth starting to demand ticket numbers.
“This is working as intended” and thread locked.
They certainly can.
Prove it.
I don’t care how they planned it, it doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t really work at all. And if you’re not a blue post, then keep quiet.
Now you’ve just been a jerk when corrected, and encouraging people to report design issues as bugs to force a response is probably out of bounds. I’m escalating this to the mods. Have a good one.
My friend.

You behaved inappropriately by violating the rules of communication on the forum.

I mainly play lightning wizard since season 0 and constantly observe the changes.

It is not my problem to deal with these problems. They always have 2 options.
a. Fix and finally give the goods.
b. Compensate for the damage caused (as a client).
PS. I launch this game mostly to see where they screwed up, and not because it is so interesting. Let’s call it a sporting interest.
P.P.S. If you are not a Blizzard employee, then I am really not interested in you, since your personal opinion does not interest me and cannot influence my opinion in any way.
So get lost.
no. they don´t need it at all.
They just need to do a small increase of damage per intellect point.
Any way, as it is I can to pit 110 using chain lighting and fireball builds. I am not a pit pusher so its all fine for me.
One thing that really needs a complete rework is how the enchantments works currently. Most of them are really bad.
God, no. We’re like 400% lower than other classes at the top end. LS is supported by the “Grow” seasonal power.
Once that’s gone, we’ll be around 110, excluding Shatter.
I think the best way is a combination of buffs to core skill damage, doubled, and 300% scaling for every cap stone power.
For instance, Vyrs Mastery should scale with CHD. Maybe a 25% chance to proc 500% damage, damage increased by 1% for every 10% of your Critical Hit Damage.
This would be approximately 375% damage with 3000 CHD.
This is literally what it will take to make Sorcs do 130s next seasonal, should that be the goal.
We are 400% lower than Broken builds that will be fixed next season.
More specifically: Rain of Arrows Rogue, Cataclysm Druid, Blood Wave Necromancer and Earthquake Barbarian. Any other build from those classes are average.
You think? I disagree. Strenuously. The bad PR from nerfing 66% of classes simply isn’t worth it. They will nerf Necros and barbs (as they are already said), and they will buff up the rest of classes. The only thing is question is the target pit level. I’d put money on 130ish.
How long does it take you to clear a 110 with CL? or are you just you using it to proc conjurations with UC?
