My hota does zero dmg now wtf?

Well Alkaizer was oneshotting everyone in PVP. From my perspective, HOTA should be nerfed a bit.
I know, PVP is not the perfect indicator, but you can check some things there.

OFC you also could say, buff all other classes and builds instead, but thats worse, because we will get trillions crits or even higher very fast like in diablo 3.

not a barb hater, i just want equal strenght

I mean if they want to nerf it in pvp that’s fine, but Barb has been nerfed enough in PvE. PvP should not be the balancing standard in this game (and never will be). If you expect Diablo pvp to be fair in any way you’re going to be disappointed lol.

I guess I should enjoy not getting one shot in pvp before they un-nerf it

You can kill in PvP only the dps PvE noobs without defence.
If you will find a other class who is full skilled on Tier100 and PVP you will see how fast the HotA barb will die…
Farming noobs is not a indicator for nerfs…

the amount of people who still getting mad about a bug. is funny atleast we know Barb is the most hated from people who nevered used him lol we have one atk and a tons of buffs get over it… Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence

The team is looking into the Hammer of the Ancients items players have been reporting. This isn’t intended behavior, and the team is on it. We will have an update on this soon once we are done investigating.

Strong HoTA barbs are one shotting other equally geared classes with the HoTA aspect shockwave. It’s broken.

maybe you are right. i just watched the stream and he was surrounded by like 3 or 4 other players, and they couldn’t kill him. after a few seconds he oneshotted all.
but if you say its a ā€œnormalā€ damage in pve, i believe you.

Blizzard specifically said before release that D4 will not be balanced for PVP.
They will change skills only because of PvE not because of PVP.

PVP is a part of Diablo what nobody needs…

Pretty safe to bet those other players were under leveled with not very great gear. Same reason you see some people killing uber lilith in 90 seconds and other people claiming the same class is unplayable. Sure HOTA may be good in pvp but that doesn’t really mean anything.

who cares, its pvp, if you really are that insistent on the tiny part of the game that’s pvp, you get what you get.

You don’t get to be the person defending the addition of a mode that will never be balanced AND complain to nerf things because its broken in your unbalanced mode too. No wonder why there are complaints to remove the mode.

" don’t worry the buffs are coming we wont be doing anymore more nerfs to diablo 4 "

Game is not balanced for pvp. It will never be balnced for pvp they already stated that.

Personally it needs to be removed since they aint balancing by it. In fact i think it should be zoned and need a specific spec for pvp zones that u do there then whe u zone out u go back to ur pve build neither helps levels u must level pvp and pve. This way u only want to pvp atay there.

when are we getting the 13 pages of barb nerfs? just so I know how much time I have to play my barb until I delete it

We've
identified the issue and the team is working on a hotfix for this. No
nerfs for HotA!

lets see if its fixed before weekend

Well, I use Death Blow as primary damage dealer. Rend applies vulnerable, aspect that makes Death Blow hit 100 % more damage after spending fury + aspect that gives me two Death Blows = one shot elite (with stacking affixes for vuln + crit dmg).

Sure, it’s not meta and not the best for clearing NM dungeons maybe (which I don’t enjoy anyway), but it works at WT4 and I’m having fun so far. Will probably stop at level 80 or so, as going further is pointless.

Why didn’t they disable the item like they did for ripping and edgemaster? I bet they learned a valuable lesson after that fiasco maybe they’ll learn another one for the current hot topic.

maybe they’ll just keep ignoring comments like that because they’re not helpful to anyone
