Hydra - Restore It

You have Barbs and Necros critting for literally BILLIONS of damage. If you still stand behind your ill-gotten hydra nerf, you need help.

Restore it.

I never thought id see the day when sorc / wiz was the worst dps in a diablo game or any game for that matter…

They should revert all the nerfs the Sorc got after the beta. It was dumb and based of a level 25 power level. And give the Sorc a 3rd enchantment slot.

I think this would be a godly unique ability that could be added

Sorcs had a 3rd enchantment slot in the alpha and it was reduced to two only,

I wish we could have 3 enchantment slots like Alpha. Maybe with that we could play another ā€œusefullā€ builds, the problem it’s that good builds will be way op with 3 enchantment slots (or maybe not).

Yes please! Hydra is too weak now in mid and late game. Do you not do proper testing yourself?

Sorc doesn’t need a buff…the other 4 classes need to be nerfed to sorc level. Right now the game is a joke on the other 4 classes. While too hard is bad…it being a joke is even worse.

My big fear is that Blizzard is gonna get bit with a case of the ol’ Blizzard Pride and refuse to acknowledge that the nerfs were totally unnecessary, and instead of Ctrl+Z’ing the whole debacle like it should, decides to slow roll it in small increments.

They will buff it later down the road and take credit for it as if it was not their doing in the first place.

The classes are a bloody mess right now. They’ll need to do a 2.0 revamp of them all.

Rather than giving Hydra more damage they should make it do something useful. Like apply Vulnerable. Right now every flavor of Sorcerer is forced to use Frost Nova to get Vulnerable. Why? Why in the Burning Hells does my FIRE build need Frost Nova? Or my Lightning build?

Reminds me of the ā€œLoot 2.0ā€ incident with D3. Loot was so bad at release that we just waited until the xpac where it was fixed. Then I played the game a ton. Feels very similar here.

I’m sorry to break this but unfortunately, hydra cannot be buffed.

Otherwise it would be too strong at lvl25 lmao

I miss my beta build…

The problem is the stupid requirement for sorc DPS.

Once a boss is pinned down, sorc damage is just insaly OP. I’m not only talking about that blizzard sorc who deleted ubber lilith in seconds once he had her pinned down. Even low level cold sorc are doing absurd damage on frozen target. But we just suck otherwise.

Adding back the third slot wouldn’t make much difference since the problem about sorc isn’t about numbers and more about its core mechanics.

For some builds even your second enchantment choice isn’t that amazing and a third one would barely make any difference.

I mean zero chance a 3rd enhancement slot puts a Sorc even close to other classes. The only thing a Sorc can do is snap shotting blizzard swapping gear in and out for Uber. Outside of that they are f tier in comparison to other classes in nm sigils 70+

I think all of the fire spells need help besides like, Flame Shield.

Incinerate is probably the weakest core skill in the game, and I don’t think the small buffs it got will help at all, and the Combustion key passive is so laughably weak that the one fire build I’ve seen (Firewall) doesn’t even use it.

Ice Shards is boring, I want to burn stuff :frowning:

I have heard many people suggest a third enchantment slot, I agree, but at the same time that’s an ā€˜in addition to’ the balance to our damage, not instead of.

I leveled as firewall and am TRYING to make it viable in late game, but I struggle with 60s while frost builds are easily clearing 75+. I also don’t use either of the fire passives. I use Vyr Mastery just for the damage reduction.

The only fire ability that was, was incinerate… Which is just a joke over all. Like they know mobs at 70+ literally 1shot you, right? Who is going to stand there channeling and literally just get instantly clapped…?
