Quoting from a Reddit summary of Rob’s early review:
6 Likes
Rod Ferguson - general manager of D4 already said it in a interview way before the PTR even launched that Spiritborn will be op…
I think most people expected it to be, and to that end, I am willing to bet a lot of people probably bought the expansion knowing that SB will be OP is part of the big reason as to why they bought it.
Every season someone is OP, S6 is SB it is fine…
RIP barb, hopefully S7 will be better for us.

See, this is the problem when people are simply not smart enough.
- The 30B was after hitting dummies for a while. Even Necros with BS could hit that number against dummies.
- It was with a bugged set up. DiEoxidE called that and a few bugs that are getting fixed for launch.
- Rob is not a content creator involved with the game. The guy is an entertainer and knows how to do clickbait tittles. A week ago when he uploaded a video claiming new SB gameplay leveling and it was his old footage.
- He doesn’t theorycraft his builds. The build for the SB wasn’t made by him and you can clearly see how lost he is while talking about the build and how it works. That’s why he also doesn’t mention it is a bugged set up: he doesn’t know it.
- There is a reason why Wudi, Raxx and the people involved into D4 theorycraft don’t respect him. The dude just uploads content for the clicks and it is cool until we believe he is right about anything.
- ‘‘x10’’ is hyperbole. Rob is a hyperbole content creator.

Thanks for ignoring the fact that all those people said Barb is dead last next season as well man. And how the gap between Barb and everyone else is still massive.

This post isn’t about Barb being weak, but thanks for slideing in this information here also. We haven’t heard this a billion times.

You completely brushed over how everyone (not just Rob) is saying Barb was so awful that some people were saying it’s a mistake to bring one to Dark Citadel.
Wait… you mean the new class locked behind the expansion is going to be OP?
Shut your mouth!
Dude, they literally said it was gonna be so. Plus, I don’t understand why anyone is surprised.
It will be OP prolly for at least two seasons so that people will buy the expansion.
This whole thing that they care about balance is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Most new classes by Blizzard are over powered nothing new. It is to entice people to buy the expansion. But make no mistake once sales have peaked the new class will undergo nerfs that could cause some rage episodes. So play it while it’s hot. If you are a hold out like me, Well nothing gained nothing lost.
Rmt botters have taunted their claim… don’t think that thread will last long. Wonder how accurate the translations are.
Yes they are embolden and i can understand why. Blizzard, On one hand claims to be against RMT outside of their cash shop. But on other hand seems to continue to do things that encourage it Like making runes the only way to target craft Mythics and allowing those runes to be tradable. Because of this i have decided not to buy the expansion. Not because of trade, But because of ethics. or lack of them.

Meanwhile like 1/2k obducite from a T10 IH run while, right now, you get around 9/10k+ from an half decent T7/T8 run (Based on an 800ish aether T7 run)
LMAO
Thanks god i already have 600k in stash, gl farming for obducite in S6, good fkin luck
You pay, so you demand.
What’s the Spiritborne playstyle? Stand back (sort of) like Sorc or get into the scrum like Barb?
Well I’d prefer class balance but was there like ever in any diablo game? Nope. I prefer a new class being OP rather than underperforming when it goes live, it will be nerfed anyway, season of spiritborn is incoming.
