Spiritborn Evade Build IS Officially Being FIXED (BUG ACKNOWLEDGED)

Just a quick update on some plans. We will have some additional client patches and hotfixes coming out this week. Some possibly as early as this afternoon/evening. These will hit on some crash related items and some of the hot button items from the weekend. We also looked at the Spiritborn’s Evade cast animations that some are employing in specific builds. This is a bug as the Spiritborn is able to break animation frames during Evade immediately. We will be fixing this so you won’t be able to Evade instantly during another one, and instead it will be normalized to the standard Evade cast rate in all situations. The reason why we are hitting this bug now (and some may have noticed) is that it is currently impairing other players and their experience in-game. We have mentioned before that if a build ends up impacting the experience of others, we may make changes immediately, and this is one of those instances. We expect this change to come in 2.0.3 later this week.

While I appreciate them actually taking the necessary step, this was allowed to go on way too long, and the damage was already done. Not playing this season anymore. Will try again next season to see if you guys (Blizzard) learned anything from this.

We all know the real reason its getting nerfed is because players find it enjoyable.

1 week of farming at god speed for 95% of every player on the server STILL renders my as well as everyone else’s character that ISNT SB, useless by comparison, and I am so weak by comparison now that I will not be able to play with other people, which according to Blizzard themselves, is the way this is INTENDED to be played.

Nerfing builds mid season is a terrible mistake

People are having fun with it, they spent significant amount of time building it, its a disrespect towards your players time to nerf it in the middle of a Season

Blizzard cant stop making mistakes

Players that try to play with an SB don’t even get to play. They don’t even get to see mobs. That’s what he realized. NOBODY else can keep up. Not even close.

Do you mean fixing bugs. And its not mid season. S6 has been our for 6 days.

The amount of people using this build is likely a lot less than you think it is.

Wait, so only the Evade-based builds are getting nerfed? Well, we stil have the Quill Volley 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 gigagillion build. That’s not gonna get nerfed. So I don’t really see how SB is getting nerfed.

Even if it gets nerfed from 100 Trillion damage to 10 Trillion damage, that’s still a lot.

I really appreciate them doing this. Maybe I’ll keep playing. The economy might be salvageable if they roll this out quick enough. Though I’m probably just being blindly optimistic about it.

It’s not only about damage. It’s about clear/move speed. Nobody can play with these people. NOBODY.

yeah blizzard won’t be seeing me again after this season, the evade build was nice. So 10 trill dps is fine but when mobility is introduced it is too much.
