After datamined info, with Hydra apparently ruined now, what is a decent sorc build to beat Ashava?
I played the Hydra build during open beta and it did a nice job, but with less damage on a level 20 char with less legendaries, it might be way too weak now to deal with the boss.
Any suggestions for alternate builds?
lol ruined. It needed a nerf and it got one.

Honestly just try all the abilities out and see which feel the strongest. Or better yet play whichever ability you get the best legendary aspect for. Since legendaries are not going to be dropping from the sky in this beta you may not have that many options.

If they didnt fix cast ranges and uw perspective.
Hydra…
Lol.
Firewall will probably be the meta for sorc on server slam.

Does multiple firewalls stack?
It did not need a nerf and should not have got one.
Games are supposed to be fun, to be a power fantasy, not make you as weak as you are in real life and want to slam your head into a wall.
I cannot understand why people want to be weak instead of strong.

People want a challenge. They don’t want to drop a hydra and kick back and watch a movie on their other monitor while it clears the screen. As soon as I put a point in Hydra I was like “Oh wow this is absolutely getting a nerf”.

Reckless buffing leads to powercreep. Thats why it must be kept under control.
We saw how that went in D3. So no, its a bad idea.
Also, the game’s lifetime will be much longer when you cant instantly zoom pewpew everything.

If the only way for you to have fun is to play an overpowered or broken character, then please leave. You should be around no modern game.

I think a lot of folks agreed Hydra needed balancing. A single skill that outshines everything else just makes for a lack of variety of builds and buffing other skills is not the answer as we saw in D3. It just leads to power creep.
But the key question is that is the skill now balanced or is it over nerfed. Being over nerfed is not good either because then it’s no longer a viable build. It should be balanced so that it performs roughly the same as other skills in that hierarchy.
So you can play fire (including hydra), light, ice and on a power level they feel the same but the mechanics are different and you can pick what suits your playstyle.

The player should be able to choose… i only used 3 skills so i wasn’t op, very very fun it was. Heads were literally heckin rollin.

I know that multiple blizzards stack so I assume firewalls as well.
best sorcerer build now ? go Barbarian is their best build now lol
A choice between being OP or not? In a game that ends up coming down to efficient farming? You are insane.
It’s not about being weak. It’s about having one skill be so strong that it’s the overwhelmingly obvious choice, and to not pick it would be stupid.
Good game design encourages a plethora of interesting choices. If there’s no choice, there’s hardly room for creativity.
well yes now you have all equally horrible choices , so many crappy choices that you are forced to play as other class lol. seems they nerfed the hell out of every viable build .
at least is good to know someone will enjoy it, most be fun having to wait in town 3 hours asking for passbyers to give you a hand to kill trash mobs lol

Would be so cool to have 12 Sorcs with firewall builds on Ashava

In what way are these choices horrible?
it has to be firewall + blizzard. So you cant see anything anymore.
