Thatā€™s a well thought out and clearly articulated argument.

But they realy want it. Donā€™t you understand? :laughing:

Overpower needs a nerf, dots need a big buff.
That way overpower, crit and dot builds will be more balanced.

OP does not need a nerf, not everyone is playing Spiritborn - better buff the rest.
Even with imba gear something like Pit T110 is a huge challenge for other classes and what you see is that the strongest builds often rely on OP like Mighty Throw or Bone Spirit & Blood Wave / Bone Spirit.

I would also love to see strong Bonespear with my main wish of having Bone Spear Echo Mages that make some serious damage. :grin:

Itā€™s gettin unamuseing and lame, that if we want an S tier build we have to build around OP to prock useing Banished Lordā€™s with Bone Spirit.

Yes, but for me it would be the best approach, if other skills are just buffed - like DoT.
When you nerf OP, you do nerf every single class using it - that is why I am against it.

Definitely miss bonespear. What an iconic skill. Shame itā€™s a sliver of itā€™s former self.

Season 7 patch notes.

Necromancer
Bone Skills - bone spear damage increase by 11%.

This is about the most change I can see them make.

Yes DoT definetly needs a buff. But right now the general rule is, if your build can crit and OP than you should build towards criting and OPing as frequently as possible. And to my limited understanding DoTs canā€™t do neither, so they will be forever behind builds that can do both.

And that is why I said nerf overpower.

  • If buffing your defenses (more life) is the best way to get more damage, that itself is a huge problem.
  • Seasons back, they made crit build the strongest by making its bonuses stronger than others, then they made it possible to crit 100 % of the time and all other bonuses got irrelevant.
  • Now overpower bonuses are the strongest and it is easily possible to overpower 100 % of the time. Just combine crit and overpower to have the best build.

When playing a dot necromancer you not only get the lowest damage, you also are slow and fragile. So the opposite of the Spiritborn.

Not every spiritborn play overpower, they mostly run Mystic Circels if they playing Quill, Barbarian are far more of them with Overpower then the Spiritborn. If they playing Razor Wings builds then you see other tings as well.

And what makes Spiritborn so extremly higrely DPS is not frome the overpower but frome the Fell Soothsayers Aspects, You need Fell Soothsayers for be ablet to build oneshot build without Fell Soothsayers you can not oneshot any boss in Tir 100+ Even less then Tir 150 would for sure take like 2-3 minutes with the best build and 3 Ga gear atlest to kill the boss. With Fell Soothsayers you kill the boss in one blow.

Discussing what a totally bugged classesā€™ damage is based on is not worth our time. The only strong Necromancer build that is not based on overpower is minion, and only Mendeln is doing the damage here.

So most strong builds either depend on overpower, bugs or both.
The stat-squish lowered the damage of most builds, but overpower got an unintended buff.

And I think it could take a few seasons to get the balancing to a normal state.

ā€œStrongā€ is relative. Minions build is still 10 to 15 pit levels behind Bone and Blood builds.
