Good. Hopefully they will do a good job of bringing the outliers on both ends up or down.

As expected, would really doubt they would release the Server Slam version .9 as release version.

Someone’s got to be #1. Druid can do it on several builds, but if they nerf WW, Barb is done. WW was the only reason to suffer through the leveling of the Barb.
Will summons get buff?
Indeed, 1.0 is the naming convention for the release build for any game really.
I would have expected an update between Server Slam and release. Heck, I expect multiple patches the first few weeks for things that pop up as we all crush the game at one time.
That was hot fixed to buff them during the Server Slam.

Tbh WW should remain a mainly aoe skil, and not trying to force it to be a single target ability as people seems to like to want.

But they’re trying to funnel people into using one build to do everything in game. Since there is no armory and no respec on the fly, all build defining attacks need to be viable at both. Not all barbs are going to want to be AoEing in a group…they are going to want to solo content, too. They should have to change their build to do that when no one else does?
You know you could take both hammer of the ancients and whirlwind for example? You are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, by trying to force whirlwind to be a single target attack too.
Aoe spells should not be comparable in single target with dedicated single target spells.

I’m someone who doesn’t care at all about metas or min-maxing, and even I think that sounds like a terrible idea.
we can only hope. I love how they all were Pretending for so long “Maybe WW is best build” knowing they all did WW barb for 10 days and pulverize druids.
to people who dont believe, just watch this barb is fighting lvl 100 dungeon 10 days into early access. u tell me how is this build not going to get nerf, or fortify as whole going to stick as is right now. balancing is the issue. I expect something similar with druid.

The other thread about this specific topic folks were saying that was the Overpower skill with a 3% proc chance. Right?
This
Aoe spells exists for a reason, you use them to deal with big groups, not single target.
What would the point of a single target spell be if aoe spells outperformed them in singletarget too? Simpe logic.

no they arent. theres boss dungeons and aoe trash dungeons. just run whatever content your build is around, and group up for the others.
duh?
Combat Bash can guarantee an overpower.
No. That is not why they would get nerfs.
They would get nerfs because data finds them to be too strong.
Too many people on these forums have this mistaken impression that Blizzard balances based off of what they hear on Raxxentrax’s videos. Blizzard, like all game companies, balances based off of data.
However… the content creators have access to their own data from their own communities, thus they often have a pretty good pulse on what Blizzard’s data is also going to show, and thus their feedback is more likely to line up with reality than some random person on the forums with only their own personal perspective and their own ridiculous grudge against content creators to use to judge.
From what I’ve heard, not nearly enough. Most minion builds, from all accounts, are still pretty terrible as of the .9 version. Hopefully the 1.0 version improves them some more.

Doesn’t look so easy… did you listen to the commentary. No nerf needed.
