The Big Problem with AoZ

That’s the dream but I think there’s more chance that they will nerf weak classes and builds even more based from what has happened before. I know I am being sarcastic here but it did happen with patch 1.1.0

Yea is crazy some builds feel clunky for that reason, One shot everything in Map, and maybe you build need hit Manny things alive for recover resource, but now you cant when monsters die instant XD

No hope! Too many things for other classes to buff, D4 Devs even don’t know the starting point to buff from…Because they buff the weak points then the strong points even stronger than before…finally same result.

Your missing the overall point tho. They NEED to nerf over performing builds. If they just keep buffing every single season chasing something obvious overtuned will lead to the D3 model.

I dont think so, the D3 model is bad and awful, they Never fixed the balance of builds, and today you can see it, after more than 10 years in D3 have sets and builds underperforming and Never fixed, you see the new patch PTR of D3 they nerfed heavy the best build or Sorc Meteor but fixed bad the other things, see the Diablo 2 resurrected they no nerfs the best builds they buffed all other things to make new builds close to most powerful builds, i dont want they force us to play One build making nerfs and buffs like Diablo 3 when the game is still unbalanced Right now

D3 model was to take something under performing and buff it past the current meta and they did that for years. Its why you have sets with 14000% increase to skills. Its unhealthy long term this the only alternative is to buff under performing skill and nerf overperforming skills to the established baseline.

There are some thing that NEED the blizzard nerf hammer and others that need love.

Yea i know, but they overnerfed things to make obsolete sometimes, and that thing is very Bad, you see the Sorc in the Last years in D3 bazzoka is nice then destroyed With nerfs, now the most Powerful are fire bird with mirror imáge then destroyed with nerfs, now the most Powerful are Meteor now become huge nerf, no fixed anything they controled the best build you need the play next season, force us leaving a build with huge nerfs and then buffed another thing then force to play, and that thing repeat and repeat in D3, In D2R they buffed Manny things and no nerf anything thats is the Way, and much builds feel Powerful and fun, i want that

Metero is still as powerful if not more now with some of the changes to dot/burn. Id never do AoZ with it but I was getting unlimited meteros falling with ticks easily clearing nm 100.

Yea i want that in D4 i dont want nerfs to best build i want the others builds destroy the content like the most Powerful build; in want chose Manny different fun builds With the same performance, Manny ways to create different overpower characters is the fun part in ARPG

The only way to balance os a combination of both nerfs and buffs to whatever baseline is desired.

My barb hit a 700 million milestone. My aoz glyph is only lv 9. That shouldnt happen. Without AoZ gylph i was doing 600+ mil. I 1 shot world bosses in a full group this shouldnt happen.

One huge problem is based from my observation in X and YouTube threads and comments, using BL Sorc as an example, a lot of folks are happy with how strong it was during the early phases of S2. Most of them asked Blizzard to avoid nerfing this build. Blizzard understood the assignment.

If you are Blizzard and the majority of players have this kind of sentiment, why would you nerf and balance things out? Rhetorical question. Just look at what happened to AoZ. You know who the majority is. It’s not the hardcore who wants to be challenged and play balance builds unfortunately.

I think this; everything overpower is fun, and things over nerfed and underperforming are boring and bad, now i agreed with you, i hope they make the perfect balance in builds, but i am concerned in the past Blizzard dont do very well sometimes overtuned and sometimes over nerfed, Blizzard work very nice in the Last weeks hard and quick to make nice changes, i hope they balanced well the game

Yea, that is the big problem i dont want the same thing as D3 where are the One best build for each class, i want in D4 that Feeling where all builds are overpower and i can choose anything and destroy the content, the fun part in ARPG is make your char super Powerful as the reward for farming

I made a new post to try and combat the bad parts of AoZ. Please comment fine ppls

Salvaging AoZ into something coherant on Eternal :grin: - PC General Discussion - Diablo IV Forums (blizzard.com)

Yea i know, the Way is make the same performance in another builds, the sense of power and that feeling when you can destroy anything is the most fun part in game

They are doing all wrong again like D3. Builds only work with some specific item otherwise characters are trash. Endgame only work with barrier and injured reduced damage. PVP always a lie and never work as intended.
