So if ptr for sorc is a complete failure please revert sorc firebolt enchant and devouring blaze back to original state then implement these changes. I am assuming you want two meta builds that can reach around 120 pit and the rest to avg around 100 pit. I am also assuming shatter bug will be fixed for fireball and familars will not be fire everytime from unstable current ultimate.
- Give us 3rd Enchantment Slot 100%, 100%, 50%
- Buff all these passive 2 percent will help with boss dmg and overall power Hoarfrost, Icytouch, Permafrost, Elemental Synergies, Inner Flames, Devouring Blaze, Elemental Dominace, and Shocking Impact
- Increase Familar from 6 to either 7 or 8.
- Winterglass change conjuation cdr from .3 to .4 we might be able to get out 1 more lightning spear. So that would be a 2 to 3 increase to total conjurations right now I avg 15 and yes I have great gear.
- Finally change Starfall coronet to a focus, glove, staff, wand, or glove so meteor is alive and well.
All of these suggested changes could be done relatively fast and would help with boss dmg and also give all build more power to be able to clear a higher tier pit. The meta’s are fireball and frozen orb which I think could do a max of 120 without bugs. Hope blizzard you look at it.

Not going to happen - they don’t read this or care unfortunately . They got your money . Enjoy your neutered character - they can sit right next to Barb.

Barbarian is on a better position for S7 than Sorcerer.

This is the exact problem.
I don’t want my character to " dominate a portion of my game time or a select number of seasons : I play these games to feel like I can dominate after a significant time investment in my character.
“What Im on about” - is exactly what you are brining up : Flavor of the month class balance aint working here. But they seem to be committed to this approach despite plenty of players providing feedback that it doesn’t feel good to have a character you poured time into completely useless the next patch
So because barb dominated before in other seasons, i Should just be ok with him sucking a brick for the next couple ?

Barb can do a 120 pit already sorc can only do 1 with a shatter bug first. Second in season 7 i bet you will have two or three builds that can do a 120 pit. This season we can’t do 110 with any tru build. Now they are nerfing us and There is no way we are getting the dmg we need unless they buff glyphs or legendary nodes period. So say what you want but that is the cold hard truth.
My friend, I am on your side. I think the nerfs are problematic. But again - its a bigger issue of flavor of the month balance.
I have 8 or 9 lvl 100s : 2 sorcs. I play all classes. I want them all to be REALLY good

This happens every PTR. People see a change and come crying like it’s set in stone. I’ve played every PTR and what gets delivered vs what we see on the PTR is never the same.
Just get on the PTR and give the feedback in the PTR forum. Chances are it’ll change come the live update.

But Barb isn’t a brick. Barb just isn’t dominating the other classes anymore.
I pose that sitting on the perch of comparison is a great place to ensure you are never satisfied.
Ok fine - ill remove Barb from the convo.
The Sorc nerfs still stink bad.
My position the posted topic hasn’t changed.
What was your point ?
As a Sorc I also do not like the change but I do admit to the need for a change. The points they made were salient; you take that slot for the burning and add burning to any skill but too many passives were tied to burning enemies.
I am waiting for next Wednesday to pass real judgment because knowing what is not doesn’t explain to me all that will be. If those two changes were examples of what is to come, a more linear and relevant skill tree to what you actually intend to do, I may be more for it than against it. I absolutely hate what they replaced it with though esp. because it allows infinite health.
I agree here.
What the class really needs is a 100 % rework. Too many passives relying on burning, enchantments are not fun , single target damage etc. The problems we are seeing now are because of an initial design failure of the class.
TO ME the answer to that is not : Lets completely nuke the class in the interim while we figure out what to do with the class longterm. This seems to be the design philosophy of the entire game right now . Class balance, itemization - its all Band-Aids on bullet holes and “we’re listening” and I guess I’m just wondering, when will they see it ?

All i am trying to say is if it sucks and we are extremely weak and their idea is not complete for the season and isn’t close to ready revert what they did and buff other things like devouring blaze and elemental synergies to give us more actually dmg for season 7 then try it again in season 8 when they may have a better plan again if it would fail. I don’t want to only be able to do like a lvl 85 pit or spend 2 min killing varshin in t4.
I agree with you but there’s one big thing I disagree. It’s not FLAVOR OF THE MONTH.
It’s actually the BUG OF THE MONTH. Was there any strong, broken builds ever in each season that was the result of zero bugs and exploits?

I 100% / 100% / 50% agree with this post. you might want to remove the word starting with Pet in the title though since the stickies do specifically say this is frowned on…
Starfall as focus would be amazing
Any thread with “petition” in it is an automatic eyeroll
You assume incorrectly. They want all builds to hit T1 and be happy. They want some builds to hit T4 if they got great gear. They want people to stuggle in pit 90’s where only the people that swiped can do those pits in 13 minutes. Thats what they actually want. They dont want people to be able to do T4 easily at all. You are not meant to hit 300 paragon. You are not meant to get glyph 100. They screwed up and SB was too bugged to stop that from happening.

You arent understanding him correctly. They are advocating for good class balance always. Not some swing meta BS that the developers are infatuated with. They do this crap because they are lazy and uncreative. They have no seasonal content that makes the game feel fresh so instead they try to make the classes feel fresh and its awful.

Maybe because what we get live is terrible. Who cares if what we see on PTR is never what gets delivered if what gets delivered is still bad?
You say everything is bad so the things you say don’t have much merit.
