Agreed , is a shame fo is actually nerfed to the ground, with the shattered winterglass is such a cool build.
I already played minon necro and bash barb this season, doing 85-90 pits like is nothing, now with the fo sorc I am struggling to clear pit 52, a shame.
With shako, rasha , starless skies, everything, and still, fo is not worth it.
Why would they design such a cool build to just nerf it? It’s a problem when people are having fun playing their game?
The same thing applies to double swing dust devil barb, why design something fun just to nerf it inmediately afterwards? why is Blizzard so Blizzard?

That’s a you problem, people have already cleared pit level 110 with frozen orb. I pushed my FO sorc to 75 without a problem, which is as far as I got on my minion necro, though obviously it took more investment on FO. Not every build is going to be the same power level without investment.

Had the same experience. For my barb I’m doing some weird bash/thorns hybrid I just cooked up (cause I got a razorplate to drop and i wanted to use it). This build can do about pit 65 and it’s literally just some unplanned clown build I made. I just did whatever made bash and thorns better and made up some random paragon board. It required very little thinking - that said this wasn’t my first barb so I did at least have a good sense of what the boards and glyphs did and how they work.
It’s a bug about “Vulnerable multiplier” but devs seem to unsee this problem and many ones protect BZ as “You know it’s a bug. Just play anything else that is not bugged”.
SS3 my sorc crit 1.7m but this season is just 500k but everyone said it’s fine.
Tell use Tryden, what else did you cook up brah??, daaan it’s craaaazzzyyy
Looks like they recognize it, it might even be fixed today? That’s pretty great news if true.
So, should I equip storm swell aspect again?
I was running with ancient flame with esu’s ferocity, I’ve read somewhere that esu’s ferocity works with frozen orb, don’t know why though.
I meant to respond to you ages ago. Sorry.
Yea I’ve checked for leaks.
All I see are anecdotal things and he-said-she-said stuff.
To my understanding, that entire thing with the Spiritborn was a hoax or AI generated and passed off as a leak.

I am not talking about that, mechanics such as runewords have been leaked multiple times now even from before launch. They are just saving some “content” (systems) for the expansion and seasons. Which makes sense considering they had trouble even with the base game.
well on the plus side, they finally fixed some sorc bugs today that had been reported since beta.
better late than never i guess.
you need perfect 12/12 gear + 2x uber uniques for it to work.
no casual or heck even some sweaties will be able to get the base requirements for it.
mean while other classes don’t need this level of equipment for the same effort.
w/e. it’s a pit only meme build, out side of pit it’s b tier at best compared to other sorc builds which is terrible.
The least they can do is to revert the PTR Winterglass nerf. That was shortsighted. Why double whammy nerf FO while fixing the bug alone would’ve been enough?
Blizzard has this weird philosophy of sledgehammering when it comes to nerfs and being so slow and incremental when it comes to buffs.

exactly.
the -30% nerf on Winterglass triggering effect has somehow drastically halves the damage output, but The Pit has been ramp up, that’s why so strenuous using Frozen Orb for The Pit.
