Blizzard! Enough with the cookie cutter specs!

I am really tired of this game… Why do I have to be a cookie cutter spec to be viable?? If I can’t play the game the way I want, spec’d the way I want, then what is the point??

Blizzard!! Fix this or lose my money!! WOW has the same issue!! In fact WOW is worse because of your stupid season thing you all implemented… NEWS FLASH!!! GETTING PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS NOT CONTENT!!! Be it the PIT, Nightmares, Mythics, Raids, get it?? The only game that doesn’t have these issues is overwatch, but you all have been trashing that game since OWL went bye bye!!!

What is with you people?? Do you actually play your games??

Every skill should have had atleast 2 uniques to boost that skill in fun ways like the frozen orb unique, should have been in the game since launch… now we get like 1 good unique for a random build per season :laughing:

I play the game the way I want every time I turn it on. I am not sure what problem you are having, but it sure sounds like you are mad about it for some reason.

Blizzard doesn’t make the meta, the community does.

Blame the community. Also, Blizz already has your money.

And they balance the game around top meta build too which makes everything a lot worse

Cookie cutter… you mean like picking one skill, maybe a generator thrown in, and 4 supporting skills? Yeah, the entire game is designed like that. That’s pretty much every build, because the skill system in place limits how many you can invest 5/5 in. Then you add in Aspects and Tempers, and there’s not really much room for 2 mainline skills.

Welcome to Diablo I guess?

LOL not really but nice try.

How about all shouts for Barb?

Blood mist/decrepify/corpse tendrils for Necro?

All companions for Druid?

Dark Shroud and caltrops for rogue?

All defensive skills for sorc?

All builds that are worth anything take the above.

Those are all support skills. Try reading what I wrote. None of what you listed have any classes taking those skills as 5/5.

You’re literally agreeing with exactly what I stated. Again - re-read.

Only part of the above I disagree with is that a build uses generators. Unless that is its major damage source of course (basic builds)

Not sure what is wrong with the forums today. Reading comprehension just isn’t here this morning…

Pssst… that’s why I said “maybe”.

maybe adverb
perhaps; possibly.

I realize you did but I literally can’t think of a single build that does use a generator along with a spender so saying “maybe” I think isn’t correct because it isn’t used since the addition of Essence Per Second was brought into the game w/ s4.

Maybe there is a Rogue build that focuses on both a generator and spender as key components?

Look up Druid Pulverize. Uses Wind Shear.

It’s absolutely a key to the build, because you need to alternate elements.

Thanks for playing!

So it is Druid… I probably shouldn’t be surprised it is that class tbh

Well… while you could of been a bit less of a sarcastic *** about it, you are correct =)

Maybe I could have been. But you’re the second poster I responded to that failed at reading and/or comprehension. So pardon my curtness of attitude.

Oh - I also use a generator on my Bone Spear/Summon Necro because I nab 20% DR on it and some multipliers. So there’s another.

Bone Splinters/Bone Spear/Blood Mist/Decrepify/Bone Storm/Priest

Uses Ring of Mendeln and the proc (scales off your Physical damage). The only thing that would make it really pop is if it scaled off Summon Damage instead. Permanent uptime on Bone Storm. Clears 132.

My ball lightning build. No generator.

Blood Lance. No generator.

Blight, no generator.

Heartseeker, no spender.

Spender-generators are dumb. Just give us more skills that range in regards to resource cost.

You know….like D2.

I play with my buildings and make all the content. It’s just harder to have the best equipment. Of course I don’t kill Duriel 200 with a slap.

Good for you. Pulverize Druid absolutely uses one. So does my Bone Spear/Summon Necro.

So what is your point? Are you trying to advertise that you can’t read or lack understanding of what I wrote? The thread is about so-called cookie-cutter builds - and my point is they all are due to how skills are designed. No build uses two generators or two spenders that are 5/5 in the tree; which is what I stated.

All good, all-round lets just say morning - blah!

You’re probably in the minority there. Bone Spear, even before Essence Per Second was a stat, used zero generator as quickly as possible. Obviously Bone Spear has fallen out of favor for Necro with Blight, Minion, and Bone Spirit all overperforming it but I’d assume that the standard build is still on a zero generator system since you need/want - Blood Mist, Decrepify, Corpse Tendril, and Bone Storm for the build. Since basically every Necro build wants to proc the corpse usage paragon then you’d have Corpse Explosion to trigger the 50%x multiplier as relying on just corpse tendril would make the multiplier almost useless to proc since it’s downtime would be so high
