hi, blizzard, so you are aware that sorcs can have perma flame shield up making them invincible all the time. this is clearly not intended and needs to be nerfed in the next hotfix so these exploiters can’t use it any more. my suggestion is to put a 1 second cap on flame shield duration so it can’t be abused which allows them to do pit levels way higher than intended. it’s also broken in pvp where sorcs can’t be killed at all: this exploit is ruining the game and needs to be fixed asap. /s

Why is it so clearly an exploit and not a clever use of game mechanics?

i dont really care what other people do in pve. whether someone playing sorc uses perma flameshield for pit i dont care. but at the least i agree they need a fix for pvp. there should never be an immortal build in pvp
funnny how even if immortal they aren’t the best in the pits

Nah they cant and shouldnt have allowed this to happen. Breaks every rule in book. You cant have immortal characters and I am a sorc main.
Trivialize armor, life, resists, damage reduction, ect. Just be immune (no CC works as well) 100% of the time.
Also PVP this is hilarious.

correct they are only number 2. behind necros who atm are the only ones with dps high enough to clear above pit140
Can you please google for yourself what an exploit is?
Flame shield player… Just play the game, 
% no special super duper exploits.

I think it’s fine being able to have it permanently up, but it should come with a caveat, ie. reduces damage by 30% while active (total damage * 0.7)
like… necro can become immortal, but you can’t cast any spells.
the main thing blizz needs to address asap is the broken maths, too many classes are double dipping as content creators call it - getting multiplier * multiplier (multipliers are supposed to add together - multiplier + multiplier)
All classes except druid have something like this going on, whether it’s through holy bolts, fireball, victimize.
blizzard should be patching these things asap as they are game breaking and the longer they leave it, the more players invest into these ‘meta’ builds and will be mad when they are balanced.
TIL: When I use something other players don’t want too, and they don’t like it; It’s an ‘exploit’.

Only a problem for me when you have 3 of them fighting a blood maiden filling the ground with Fx and I get blown up by a mechanic I couldn’t see.
On second thought flame shield isn’t actually the problem. The amount of visual clutter on screen is the real issue.
Yes, its bad
Yes, it’s only way to go above 70 pit on sorc
Yes, this must be fixed without making claas unplayable
Yes, it’s not easy fix
yeah this is bad mechanic.
But because of D3/WoW crowd we will probably never see again any nerfs during season. Because " BlIzzARd StOp NeRFiNg FuUUuuN!!!" - excellent argument. LMAO. That is just sad and stupid. But i guess unfortunatelly nothing will change regardless this fact.
And there are lots of broken things, not only perma flame shield.
As in s2 mega bugs, make yourself to the idea that there wont be any nerfs, as you might seen, the horrendous multiplicative behavior of the bash temper stood, Blizzurd is not in the position to lose more players over gaming morals.
The lesson is to hire REAL gaming testers that can take all builds and check how all them work in the actual game, as the PTR is full of streamers and RMTERS trying to build stupid things just to get more followers and money, they even know how to make exploits and abuse from them and wont ever tell blizzard during those useless PTRS, but make videos later in season with the same purpose.
Wait a minute, wasn’t there a thread not too long ago about how weak sorcerers are?
This community contradicts itself every day.

hah, i main immortal FB spec and even i can admit it’s pretty OP: i beat lilith, all the tormented bosses, and up to 100 in the pit so far. i don’t even bother with mechanics either, perma invincible ftw! anyways, i made this as a joke thread and forgot to add /s. oh well.
well you know, people twist this stuff to make it fit their narrative. whichever narrative that might be for the day.
sure nerf it but then buff them. most of their specs are awful in the pit.
