My PTR [Feedback]

I didn’t play the ptr as much as I hoped I was going to, not because of time but because of how much it is bring more of the same grind, no results, wasted time, mats, etc. to get no real character advancement. Yes, we all play differently and have different expectations so you may not agree with what comes, but it is how “I want to play the game”… I want a ICE Sorcerer, yet I know doing so I can only reach T1 in the game.

  • All Sorcerer changes are specific to ball lightening - They completely ignore of continue to nerf all other types of builds.
  • Same old rinse and repeat… Witches power is nothing more than a reskinned Vampiric power.
  • Life per 5 seconds still exists.
  • Too many different damage requirements on Sorcerer. Such as great damage if vulnerable is applied, or frozen is applied… No damage without some condition. (Glass Canon without the canon as a reference I saw someone else use)
  • Same old grinding of centuries to get items you need to replace bricked ones through horrible tempering odds.
  • Extremely lacking in how to progress the season with information. Not one seasonal quest dropped for me.
  • DLSS is still an issue for Blizzard and game play.
  • No uniformity found in say fractured winter glass. You can still find this Unique item with 2000 different affixes and out of that you need just one and a drop rate of less than 1%. A fractured winter glass should be a fractured winter glass without different affixes being an option.

Blizzard IMO needs to STOP creating seasons and new content. They need to fix the problems first. Stop creating a game that needs 1000 page books and a set of 20 to figure out your intent to “play my way”…

As it stands, I will not play season 7 and for the first time I won’t spend a dime on it.

Hear, hear!!! And even the pros at Maxroll keep updating their build guides so that you need to find a new item to temper every week or so, cuz they can’t figure it out either, which is a bad sign of how the game is so wishy-washy, touch and go. (ie. bash cleaves, chance for double dmg, EQ duration… - what’s a player to do? dual-wield their credit cards and buy packs of GA items to temper on a regular basis? otherwise get stuck at T3? or have painfully long grinds on T4 only for garbage drops and garbage GA’s w/ resist and 3 life per 5 seconds).

It’s like the present game is D3 where you need Primal Ancients or get out and on top of that, the Primals have 2 affixes hidden with higher chance of garbage/troll stats. And should you be lucky to get the right stats, then you gotta “upgrade” the item (s) to be Super Primal Ancient so you can farm Tormented bosses on T4 (unless you are soon to be nerfed SB).

I don’t understand the winterglass thing, unless you are playing on eternal and still have legacy items? all the ones that dropped for me in PTR were the same stats just different values.

also they were all garbage since primordial doo doo is essentially worthless if it only buffs weak conjuration damage.
