If Blizz would have just left all the OP builds in the game . Most classes woulndt feel so awful next to SP if we had:
Original ball lighting Sorc
Hota Barb
WW Bleed Barb
Season 5 StormSlide
Orignal Twisting Blades rogue
Season 5 Minions
It would be nice to see these builds reverted, to give us non SB some of that power back.
Game would be too too easy IMO.
Many classes would definitely look better, but still would look pathetic compared to spiritboring. It’s that much more powerful. Lol
But, they needed to keep the other classes to a lower power ceiling to sell the Spiritborn (well, VoH), especially during the Season of the Spiritborn.
It’s not called the Season of the Spiritborn for nothing.
Edit : By the way, I couldn’t care less about the OP builds. What I want are fun builds, and most of them aren’t that fun to me as they’re broken (i.e. skills, passives not working) or nothing really supports the skill past early T4.
They are biased toward their new pet project. They dont want any classes competing it seems.
I personally dont care. I only played my Sb through the campaign, which immediately went to Torment 1. I set my SB aside and made a Companion Druid which I then played completely through the entire campaign from classic through the expansion. Then I made my Dust Devil Barb and I currently have my FrostBurn sorc.
I have fun on all these builds. My Druid is on Torment 3, the rest on Torment 2. Sb which I haven’t touched is still in Torment 1.
The sad thing is, My Dust Devil Barb has 12k Power, 11k HP and still can’t get into torment 3. My companion Druid has half those stats and can run Torment 3 without issues. There is a huge power disparity.
OG TB was broken. As in, bugged. Not OP, just bugged, multiple times. Playing Rogue back then was embarrassing cause all the crying the other Rogues were doing when it was fixed. Much like SBs are gonna do in s7 lmao
Im not sure but I think at least 1 of the others were broken due to bugs as well.
There is a difference in OP builds and bugged builds. I wish people on these forums would learn it.
ARPGs are not hard. You grind out amazing gear, you grind out level ups and then you’re insanely powerful. Those are the steps.
The difficulty should be in finding better gear and grinding paragon, not from the devs arbitrarily deciding which builds should be horrible. For a lot of builds in this game you get amazing gear and you still end up mid. That’s stupid.
The Content should be difficult-
Regardless, we have a difference in opinion on what makes an ARPG game difficult or not. That is all.
Hard disagree there. If I want to play a difficult game, there are plenty of other genres for that. The best ARPGs are all about blowing up screens of demons. If they want to add aspirational content that we can aim for with high end builds (PoE ubers) I’m good with that, but the majority of content should be blastable.
Ahh well, here is to hoping we both find what we are looking for in regards.
My build only needs to be strong enough to do 100 to max my glyphs. Give another way to level glyphs and it’s smooth sailing.
There was a stat squish so Spiritborn still would have been way stronger than anything before it if nothing had ever been touched.
