You won’t have any issues for a while. It’s very easy to play the fire sorc and delete the screen until around T3. I found at that point you need some kind of burst damage to get through the shielding and actually apply the burns at that point.

hydra/firewall do dot damage. so ofcourse it takes you longer to kill stuff
Genius. That makes sense. That’s why I need minutes while others can just direct damage for instant delete of all the screen.
Dont forget the necro poop wave build. That sh*t literally slaps.
Good morning.

I used the TB build to do all achievs to get the raven. But i have to get better gear. In T4 many mobs and bosses still feel like big damage sponges.
Are you using the fire ult? Any ult? Asking for my wife.
Good to know. What’s an example of a piece you’re missing and/or “essential” pieces for TB?
Thats the thing with every arpgs. Playing however you like rather playing whats most efficient. By doing so u wont be as powerful as u could be. There will always be some builds which are stronger than others.
Its not possible to make all builds equal and all skills equally as strong. This isnt exclusive to d4 its the same in every other arpg.
There is builds which are closer to eachother and there are builds which are less close to eachother in efficiency and power. What kind of balance are u expecting?
Meta builds are stronger than none meta builds. Faster builds are faster than slower builds.
Firewall is dot which is designed to deal dmg per sec. Hydra is sort of a pet build which will deal dmg while you cast other skills. None of those are designed to blast everything on screen quickly. So it doesnt make sense to compare it to skills which does instant dmg.
The minimum kind? I don’t expect differences of literally millions of damage between characters or builds, I am talking optimized builds that make sense.
Of course firewall is dot and hydra also does burn, but they should do damage, lol. I don’t expect to blow everything like direct damage, but it should take song long. Again, the difference can be literally millions. That makes no sense.
Not much…
- Amulet (+7 to deadly venom, +3 to frigid finesse)
- Heir of Perdition, Shroud of False Death
I got all runes for Heir of Perdition, but i have to scrap two of my precious mythics to craft it 
my necro hits for 1,000+ trillions using no glyphs, no mw, no runes/gems/etc, no gas, and no mythics at all. i do pit 110s in under 4 mins easy. my sorc can’t even do t4 with better gear lol. it’s sad. better luck next season? haha, i kid, sorcs will never have a S tier build again (working as intended).

Apparently it must be a “u” problem, “skillz” and stuff, cos others “are doing fine”. Git gud, n8b.
Well two builds I know about = Blood wave necro and cata druid do infinity damage.
Meanwhile poor BL sorc is begging for 3rd enchant slot and tearing his hair out comparing uniques for same focus slot.
Im liking the cycle as my main power as I had to drop frog to make my coven power work and coven is so good.
Powers on minion necro now
Soul Harvest - stats yay
Hex of Flames (I have to use a hex for pointy finger. Eldrich activator)
Aura of Misfortune - Only psyche power I could find that works with coven. Psyche activator.
Breath of the Coven - Awesome power giving massive attack speed and lucky hit but you have to go through some hoops because it doesnt work with all powers that it should.
Grow - Makes my guys 100% crit and damage boost with near 100% uptime from ultimate. So good.
The Cycle - Growth damage activator for coven. Cheap upgrades. seems to have a lucky hit chance as everything freezes.
Power Going for
Firebats - More summons
Toad - More summons
Coven - In theory Voice of stars now activates all 3 coven stacks in one cast of ultimate
Soul Harvest - stats
Grow - must have
Spectre - more summons and dmg resist
Gems have now
Pointy Finger - Summons do bonus dmg to hexed
Toad Wish - Bonus power of Grow / Soul Harvest (had to cut frog to make room for hex)
None
Gems going for
Toad Wish - 35% common growth powers
Voice of the Stars - Ultimate 10% damage and counts as all witch powers ie eldritch groth ect. This in theory is a one cast 3 stack activator for coven
Fren of Bog - more stats and life
I had to go through some pain because some powers dont activate coven like they should like lament slows but doesnt work. The only psyche that seems to work is misfortune which is ok with movespeed and defense.
I also use wolves rune for 10 more summons as that one paragon nodes stacks physical damage based on summons and I made all my summons physical I think (they dont show any tags). Activator is CC rune as I have tons of CC esp with fist of fate and a stun and freeze temper.
Basically a get as many summons as u can build once it all works which I have no idea if voice of the stars works as I think. Anybody know???
Tomorrow i will say goodbye to the Twisting Blades Rogue. I did my tempers to 12/12. Got a Heir of Perdition, 2x crit on core skills. Only 1 left.
When i look at my chars stats i think: wow. awesome. But playing T4, doing bosses feels like fighting against endless damage sponges. The playstyle of an unhindered tb rogue is cool but if theres no damage… it gets totally exhausting. I saw rain of arrow rogues not having any problems. I thought its season of the ultima skills. But using the shadowclone feels like its doing not much at all.
I dont want to play the quadrillion damage class. I did this last season. And that was also boring quickly. But if standard mobs on T4 feel like elites you have to hit 10 or 20 times the fun is gone. (stagnation of gameflow)
Maybe i try a rain of arrow rogue. I dont even like rain of arrow. Maybe i call it a day and hope for some better balance and vialbility of every well done build… (guess its a dream).

SB problem is back but its

Diablo-like lmao

Yes, the bug is the devs just bumbling around with the stats without a clue
All in all, Sorcs can only deal constant K and M damage, while other classes do B and T damage by just jogging past the enemy.
Occasionally, Sorcs can do B damage if they have perfect gear and stacked 20 levels of Fireball skill, or by standing still for 5 seconds to Incinerate the enemy, always risking themselves with a 1-shot from an elite explosion.
S7 prediction of mage sucking is proving to be an underestimate because of how far ahead necros and druids are. Even barb have powerful earthquake. SB is largely rekt and Sorcs are just Tier Q for sorcs Questioning their reality and sanity.
