I’m really enjoying the game but getting seriously discouraged because of the insane amount of bugged skills/aspects. I’ve tried creating like 5 builds already that got completely ruined because something was bugged. Also, pretty much every build pushing high pits is doing so because of a bug… How is this the state of the game? When are skills/aspects going to actually start doing what they say?

Is this true still? Insightful.
You know… there’s a bug report forum.
Report the bugs, move on.

currently D4 is a mess in terms of balancing, bugged builds… not sure why they released patch 1.4 in this form without proper testing. what is even more strange, they refuse to fix e.g. bash barb even if the fix was announced in the next patch notes… can not understand.

The thing is they apparently keep introducing new bugs that are severe enough to be season-defining. It has been a year since this game was released. This is indicative of internal rot.
By the way, are new top builds really about just basic attacking? I’ve seen two streamers now whose gameplay is constantly basic attacking apparently. lol I don’t think people really understand how bad things are at Blizzard. I continue to be surprised.

it seems yes. maybe devs wants to simplify the game as playing Core builds is more complex and with Basic you just need to hold down 1 button to shot that skil and from time to time to activate other skills but not needing to sync combo points… …
Me and others are reporting them. They don’t get fixed and more keep getting added. For instance, right now the Barbarian aspect that resets leaps cooldown is bugged and doesn’t trigger if the leap kills enemies. This pretty much makes builds around it unplayable and many reported in during PTR and in the last few weeks. Yet it still isn’t being fixed in the patch on Tuesday. Rogue ultimate shadow clone has been bugged since launch and still isn’t fixed. Many others like it.

Lmao, I highly doubt that’s their intention. If it is… you just have to clean house at some point.
Nah, they just been slowly buffing basic skills each season to enable viable basic builds. Well they finally succeeded but they went a little too far. Though to be fair both Rogue and Barbarian basic builds are strong because of… you guessed it, a bug!

Interesting. Are core skills integral to these builds or are they the peak of idiocy?
Yeah, I came back within the past few months myself and there are still the same Druid bugs plaguing that class for over a year.
I am glad they added test dummies to check bugs, damage, and functionality, but it feels absurd that I have seen numerous build breaking bugs crop up with S4 and oldies that have lingered for nearly a year. I might have made over a dozen reports already in the past two weeks…
What is bugged? I honestly do not notice such things save the game crashing now and then, especially when you try to mess with paragon or the talent trees right after porting to town.
What are these bugs that let you cheese the game?
Not that I would use them. Just asking for a friend 
A few of the Druid bugs I have found and read from others, more to come to the list (like Mending Stone Aspect cucking Barrier after kill).
Apart from that, Rapid Ossification w/ Bone Spirit not working. Voracious Rage for Barb Boss hit exception, Kick & BS no refund. Rage of Harrogath not working with “non-bleed” core skills and basics. Barbarian Polearm Expertise not reflecting in Stats. More goodies out there section, but enough to give a headache depending on the class. 
For example, bash joke.
In contrast to Storm Claw and Arc Lash (Season 2) that were most definitely not spamming basic attacks.

Its the activion way of making a game. Create a bugged item/build so everybody will go for it. Just like in Warzone.
