i’ve been playing a lot. im already on torment 4 as a necro summoner. i was having a good time. i got my 8/12 masterworks, almost done legendary glyphs. my mendeln and blood moon pants are GA’d on all the +rank affixes, got a tyraels, really lucky drops. feeling super strong, all is well.
then im carrying some t3 duriel runs for some guys and everythings going well. im feeling rewarded for getting ahead and being strong. these guys are spending a bit of extra mats and don’t mind to do so because i’m helping them kill the boss. im killing the boss in maybe 30-40 sec depending how many players in the party. then some joker blood wave player with 3/12 masterworks, yellow items, untempered items, etc, joins the party and starts 1 shotting the boss the moment it’s summoned.
in t4 headhunts the only people i see around me are blood wave necros.
the game is actually shaping up quite well and this massive thorn in the side is present in every season.
of course there is a mental/psychological aspect to it, feeling like they HAVE to reroll because these builds do quadrillions of damage. people’s desire to play or how it affects their fun with the game (which is equally important and valid as anything else) but there is also the realities of how this blatantly affects multiplayer and also the TRADE ECONOMY. only 1-3 uniques in the entire game holding any value is terrible. and especially with how much party play is encouraged (hordes, bossing, citadel, virtually all content besides open world is more efficient in party) why even farm anything unless you’re in a party on t4 as or with a blood wave necro 1 shotting tormented bosses?
its not fun when it could be so much more fun just because literally every single season has a broken build. this was present on PTR and it wasn’t fixed. you need to either fix it now, fast (along with any other similar builds), or just not let it happen (which seems impossible based on history).
waiting 3 months just to see the next quadrillion dmg build is a complete joke and borders on immoral at this point imo. like why are you doing this??? i find it so insane that this is even a thing, like how terrible would WoW be if every version of the game had a meta that was like vanilla with 25 warriors in 40man raids lmao. its such a joke, whatever.
stop comparing yourself to others. This isn’t social media… Do you walk around outside and complain about every one who has nicer things than you. You’ll be surprised how light and confident you’ll feel when you aren’t worried about everyone else. /shrug
Druid is currently hitting for infinite damage (negative damage numbers) and one shotting everything. Can’t remember where I saw the clip but someone was running around in hoards hitting everything for infinite damage.
Hate to burst your bubble, but there has always been meta in WOW each and every new season from the very beggining. If you dont believe it, try and enter a high tier M plus or raid party with a weak class or specialization. It wont happen.
I wonder what stat thresholds you have to cross to do that. Rob tends to get near perfectly rolled gear quickly via trade.
I still don’t have the legendary runes I need for cata and just have gear I found. I think the highest number I’ve seen so far is 157m or so that was a random OP crit.
I think SB is called Necro in S7, this is how D4 operate unfortunately. Blizzard post PTR necro fix obviously just lazily tune down some numbers but not enough to bring down blood wave damage on par with other skill. They even not patch the tool tips of Sorcerer Hoartfrost skill, they just put a remark on their patch notes about the tool tips isnot correct. I think now you know Blizzard season is probably maintained by maybe 1 programmer, he must has a huge pile of backlog fix to clear.
