NERF Infinite Flame Shield Immortal builds and

It’s hard to defend perma FS … very hard. I mean that’s like god mode …

[Tamar-21704]

not hard at all sorry, it requires heavy investments in nearly every temper and affix on gear which is utility more than damage based so you lose a lot of multipliers to balance it out, and good re-rolls which are a nightmare to run, there’s a timer for competitive content, even if you’re immune, if you don’t do the necessary damage you won’t make it. it’s just a play style I guess… the challenge becomes getting as much damage without losing the perma defense, and anyway it has a ramp up time, if you go truly glass cannon you will have a hard time anyway, I don’t get it, as long as the mechanic require a target, they are not truly perma(unless you run firebolt I guess, fix that and the aspect rather than fire shield like someone else said, fix the refresh mechanic not the skill) I give up though.

They nerfed the FS instead of nerfing the builds that use the extreme cdr of the aspect. They should put a cap on how many times you can cdr per skill, not nerf the skill. Nerf the aspect not the skills bozos.

Again, people with no creative though. Old or bored 9-5-ers, that are there just to pay their bills.

Nerfing multiple builds requires more effort and more nerfs than going after the common element. Going after CDR limits the variety of builds.

Perma FS obviously needed to be put to bed. They didn’t need to go and destroy every viable build the class has in the process though. Why was burning instinct nerfed? Everyone took it cause it was one of the only damn things we had to scale damage.

This happen only because of the hectic aspect, not other effects. The cdrs were about the same for a long time.

I don’t play perma FS, don’t want to, I did and I thought it’s boring.

They did go and really just took the defense balance off because of the stupid mistake they made with this aspect. Nerf the Hectic Aspect!

You should never be invincible… necro had the same issue at the start of the game. It was busted and game breaking then and it is now. Good change

[GODSANCHEZ-2567]

It does not really matter if you are invincible or not in this game.

1. It is dmg capped, sorc class simply cannot progress beyond pit t110 due to lack of DPS. We dont do billions of dmg

2. All other classes also have ways of permanent invincinbility, I have seen barbs facetank Pit t140. Rogue has shroud that apparently got buffed into S5.

Everyone who is happy about the immortal build nerf never actually got one to work. I made one, have all 3GA tempered mastered gear and you still get one shot if you tele too much and hectic hits the wrong cooldown once or twice. That and your dmg is still hot dog water compared to other classes. Ppl just got killed by one in fields or saw a YouTuber with a perfect setup do something they weren’t able to and complained about it. After achieving an immortal sorc build and realizing how contingent it is at all times on godly gear, rolls and rotation to not insta die, I’m convinced this is the real reason, and people are too bitter to admit it to themselves or anyone else. Cope with it how you will.
