Please look into reverting or even majorly buffing ossified essence/bone necromancer. Looking at the math and data from the PTR bone necro wont even breach close to the max of the pit, likely to get stopped at around level 140 if you really pushed it.
And Please remake Kalan’s edict or buff it. Minions really kind of scoffs at the 3%+ attack speed. Its barely better than the old Inspiring leader.
Kalan’s Edict is a fantastic passive when you consider how much minions benefit from attack speed.
The problem with it is attack speed went from being somewhat rare to available in mass quantities on gear and the effective cap is fairly low for how common it is.
My problem with Kalan’s is that it’s… Just, boreing. It’s too simple.
3% additional attack speed per minion is useless when they already take 100% of your attack speed value. a single attack speed affix = kalan’s.
It’s definitely straightforward.
When you think about it, most of the key passives are this way. Some are written in a more complex manner, but for the most part key passives are simple conditionals that you likely already meet.
We think of them as build defining, but in the grand scope most of them are pretty tame.
Yeah, I think Kalen’s Edict needs a rework. It’s been due for a rework since time began.
The availability of attack speed with S4 affixes, assuming it remains as it did on PTR, isn’t helping matters. Option A, grab affixes to get or cap attack speed. Option B, grab a key skill passive. It’s a difficult choice prompting deep thought and consideration…
As for Ossified… ehh. Buffing it back to 1% probably isn’t going to bridge the gap, if one exists. Despite having the capability to get what, 300-350 essence with PTR values? Possibly more? I have no intention of playing Bone Spear again… If you can’t burn through the bullet sponges with a x125-150% you probably can’t do it when it’s doubled. Even though it’d be a decent chunk and allow further progress.
I’d bank on Pit brickwalling many builds if we get high tier AoZ bullet sponges. Not just Necro setups. Even though S4 values and options pretty much buffed everything in the game by a large amount. A lot likely won’t be able to put a big enough number on the screen to hit the time limit.
Perhaps we’ll have to wait and see. It depends on the scaling, how many builds break the game, how many bugs players find to liberally exploit, whether it was deemed a useful expenditure of development resources to create mathematically impossible content, etc. The usual stuff for D4.
Unlikely as Maxroll listed Bone Spirit necro is S-tier now along with Minion Necro.
Since hota Barb already nerfed hard, Bone spirit Necro will hit the highest number in single shoot.
I main Sorc, but now I am warming up my Necro in Eternal realm just for backup in case I don’t have the damage to clear the higher difficulty PIT.
