Had a ton of fun making my own build on a Spiritborn that let me clear pit 90 easily, but I wanted to push further so I looked up some guides.
All the guides revolve around 2 clear bugs, Viscous Shield scaling off base life instead of max life, and aspect of redirected force not having a cap at 100% block.
I started putting the gear together for this build then I realized “What am I doing, this isn’t fun, this is just cheating, this feels as rewarding as playing a single player game with god mode cheats turned on.”
Spiritborn are fun but I’m tapping out til next season, when there hopefully will be some bug fixes and nerfs.

How do you know it’s a bug? Nowhere does it say in aspect that it should cap at 100%, like it says in the armor one that it should cap at 1.5k for instance. Does it say anywhere in game that it should cap at 100?

Oh my, Did I hurt your feelings?
Jeezuz, I’m very sorry about that!
Well, What ever you decide to do, I hope you have a good time doing it, whether it be in Season 7 or perhaps something else! 
Don’t use my post account as any kind of rebuttal, it makes you look foolish.

This is the critical realization. The most fun I have had in this game is playing the weakest classes. They are nerfed into content feeling somewhat challenging.

Both things I pointed out are clearly bugs, as read they should result in 33.3% dmg for one and 140% crit damage max on the other if put on a 2h weapon.

You did not answer the question… Does it say anywhere that it should cap at 100? If says somewhere then sure. Otherwise you can’t say it’s a bug. An oversight maybe?
Barrier caps at 100% life, if it scaled on max life instead of base life it would be 33% dmg max, which is in line with other Paragon legendaries.
Block caps at 100%, and it doesn’t make sense to have damage scaling on more block than that. Unyielding hits is comparable but does have a cap at 1500 dmg.

It straight up is exploiting. Clearly, certain aspects and legendary nodes are bugged and people are taking advantage to be mega broken.
It’s one thing to do it unintentionally because you’re unaware. But everyone is just like, “Yeah, let’s literally exploit the bug to be OP”.

Doesn’t make sense by itself doesn’t qualify a bug. Where does it say it should not be doing that? For viscous shields it clearly says maximum life in the text, so it’s factually a bug. But for the other one you have no factual contradiction other than “well it makes sense…”

It doesn’t make sense to have more than 100% block chance, the fact that people are stacking 600% block chance for dmg is a clear bug and exploit.
I’m sorry but gearing that is that counterintuitive and buggy just isn’t fun. I’m fine with stacking damage stats for more damage, but the fact that my biggest sources of damage are Block, Max Life, and Armor is ridiculous.

Wow! Poeple use broken builds? 
Wonder if the hota barb, ball lightning sorc, LS sorc… were ever used when they were the broken build.

I don’t care if a build is OP, I care that the core of this build are two obvious bugs.
If this build got the same results from stacking crit damage and attack speed I wouldn’t care, but when defensive stats dwarf offensive stats offensively that feels terrible.

I dint even know about this one. So we can get even more OP? OMG…

Already went over this. It doesn’t make sense doesn’t qualify a bug. It doesn’t make sense to have over 1000 armor. Yet you’re not calling 4k armor scaling a bug. Sense is not a fact. It’s just a feeling. Not point in argue based on feelings.
Infinite Call Shield was warned in feedback on ptr. What did it do,? They just made it harder to reach.
PIT lv.150 is the real bug, because it’s impossible without the “bugs” u mentioned

Yes it has some glitches that are being exploited and blizzard isn’t fixing them for some reason. And now the economy is destroyed. It’s unfortunate.
Trump actually came out and blamed China for this.
