Sorcs nerfed again

[iuki-1668]

took them just over a day to nerf sorc in record time!

Decay Augmentation Disabled - Further updates on some upcoming changes

Hello all - We have seen the reports related to some very egregious numbers coming from a few builds/classes. The team has some fixes underway, but in the meantime we will be disabling the Decay Augmentation Witchcraft Power in the game as this is tied to some of these issues. This means players will not be able to equip the power at this time. Players can still purchase this power, but you will not receive it, so we do recommend against doing this until the power has been re-enabled. We will …

to bad i was to tired to level my glyphs before they orbitaled sorc into the ground again.

Thanks blizz /s

I sure hope Blizzard doesn’t mess this up so bad that the Sorc becomes garbage again. I just started having fun with the Sorc and I was looking forward to building a powerful pit pushing Sorc. Now with this it may not be possible, and also they are going to take a week to get this fixed? Meanwhile builds that used that witch power are just SOL… thanks ahain Blizzard for another great experience. Rant over

[iuki-1668]

i want all the mats i blew on this build back.

no other class gets early season nerfs like sorc does.

you know what’s the most messed up part?

necros get to keep their bugged interactions but sorc does not?

WHY?

[Jemuzu-11303]

It’s ok now because it’s not about just the Spiritborn. If this only affected Spiritborn the answer would be to leave it alone.

Personally, it doesn’t affect me either way (Eternal) but I just think it’s funny they change their minds so often.

[Starless-1708]

You think it may be a performance issue? I don’t know… It’s best they do this now still early in the season then much later.

This is what they should of done in Season 6’s Spirit Born.

[IGotThisMan-1480]

Yeah I was like WTF just happened I change my pants to a 2 star set and then I deal no damage lol. Sorc is garbage now. Oh well, I guess I’ll go play POE2.

[Narius-1176]

WTF … didn’t they say they respect players’ time and will not nerf broken builds in mid-season?

They better buff sorc back. Even a straight 2X damage on everything won’t put us on top anyway so there is little reason not to do that.

@Starless-1708

It’s best they do this now still early in the season then much later.

so where’s the bug fixes/nerfs for necros then?

some sorc hater at blizz saw us doing good and was like, not on my watch! NERF EEET NOWZ!

[Starless-1708]

Oh, I don’t know. This hasn’t affected my build.

Did you copy a build that exploited something? If so there is always a risk that it may be fixed, instead of the Dev’s letting it go.

[ALGEROTH-2145]

I spent time and effort to engage this 150 pit build. My glyphs were only about 60 so the build couldn’t do more than pit 120.

Every time sorc spec is up - blizz police is comming with a nerf bat. I’m sick of it!

[iuki-1668]

i put 2 items and one witch power together.

wow, totally exploiting. /s

well, back to ‘exploiting’ on necro then.

[Ichewith-1598]

What happened to waiting till next season for nerfs lol, guess spirit born was the last lol

[MalMegil-1166]

Just when I thought I might be able to play a sorc this season. Oh well back to walking around using no skills and clearing everything…

[Starless-1708]

Yeah that sucks, but at least something is done early then late.

Just like with SB, if exploits keep popping up, I’d imagine more people would complain about “OH so and so character is doing a gajillion damage, it’s broken just like SB was in season 6, the dev’s need to fix this/should of fix this at the start” bla bla bla…

[Abbandonment-1447]

I mean, Decay Augmentation was a gnarly exploit, and it didnt just boost Sorcs, It boosted several classes. What did you expect when it 1 shotted pit 150 bosses and hit for -45,666,728,827 damage. Hahahaha

[Phoenixfiire-1103]

I’m not a pit pusher, i dont care to hit 150… i was happy at 101. I could level my glyphs there, I could survive, and I was having fun.

Now I can do 80… i cannot really push past that as I just get obliterated since I dont have the damage output and eventually my shields all fall off and i get 1 tapped. I cant even level my glyphs anymore in an 80 because i got them too high for that in 101s.

Ive been enjoying fireball for the last week and a half (or is it 2 weeks now - basically all season) and now I’m just barely able to sniff “million” hits.

Tis a shame… but at least I got the season track done - so I guess thats that until they figure out how to stop gutting sorcs to death

[Karma-1521]

@Ichewith-1598

What happened to waiting till next season for nerfs lol

This was my immediate reaction xD

[Sardoth-1742]

Garbage move Blizz. Going back on your claims and reversing a standard you set last season with the Spiritbroken.

And you wonder why people are ditching this game for PoE-like games.

[righthere-11972]

I think this fix is going affect all classes, not just sorcerer. Apparently a lot of pit 150 runs were predicated on the decay bug.

[iuki-1668]

not necro: it uses other powers to do gazillions of damage abusing fortify bugs.
