This kind of crap is all over the game, but itās so especially bad on sorc. Like crakling energy and lightning is presumably supposed to be a build, right? Thereās paragon boards about it, thereās aspects about it, thereās skills about it - but it it very obviously canāt be doing the intended damage because itās utterly worthless.
Necro blood skills are kind of in this camp too. Why are these things allowed to be so utterly useless?
Please fix Burning Instinct Legendary node, change it to scale on fire damage and not critical damage.
Burning damage is DOT type, it doesnāt crit. There is no synergy there, and with the caps the node became completely useless.
They say that the barbarian is difficult to balance because of the 4 weapons. Give him a cape, tunic, shoulder pad and belt. Two amulets? Why not? 3 Enchantments? Itās not difficult to improve the class. Just play with it. Do pit 80 without a shield. Try it.
The problem doesnāt lie squarely on the arsenal system. It is part of the issue, but as a whole, the class is simply well designed and no inherent weakness. Melee isnāt a weakness btw, every class effectively plays in melee or psuedo melee regardless.
The Sorc enchantments donāt even come close to the power of this system. People keep citing 3 enchantment slots, but that wonāt fix anything. The enchantments themselves, aside from a very select few, are largely meaningless overall. Iād rather have another ring and amulet slot over the entire system as a whole, because itās criminally underpowered.
How do you fix it? Short of an overhaul I donāt know. Most of the options are terrible or unused anyways. There isnāt much real power in them grandscheme and they are too narrow in scope.
If they take away our defense and want us to be more offensive then they have to give us something that does big damage. Nope., that did not happen and the only time the Sorc has done big damage, it turned out to be a mistake that was corrected at the end of the season
I watched the campfire chat, saw the new unique for sorcs⦠And pre ordered War Within instead.
Itās very very obvious to me that they want absolutely nobody playing sorc. And Iām pissed about it. And if they actually think theyāre making purposeful, good decisions on the classā¦
Then the diablo team does not deserve my pre order money. Thatās really all there is to it. As much fun as Iām having in S4, does not erase the neglect and willfully ignorant nerfing of my favorite class repeatedly by the dev team.
Thatās obviously too much to have, just put it 0 slots for a season so we can figure out how much our future revamped class feature has to give to match other classes and Barb.
I have a flay barb, Pit 162 clear. Re-think again, the nerf comes from herrmorhage and flay duration.
You may want to check out flay barb. Fyi i have 4 barbs in s4, bash, flay, ww and support. Bash is sitting there carrying gears as mule for other 3 barbs. It has less usage than support barb.
