Twisting Blades WAS the only build that made rogue feel good

I hate that blizz is doing nerfs in the middle of the game. One day you’re playing a fun, good build, and next day you’re playing something that felt much worse than before. Why not do all balance work in between the end and start of a season (or preseason in this case) down time. Respec is already very expensive later on not just for tree but gears. God wtf is wrong with you

I think reducing its power was fine, but it should work better on smaller packs somehow.

TB reducing your CDs is bugged. Doesn’t work at all. That’s the main problem.

I agree. I do not understand Blizz making these nerfs which affect people’s PVE experience. Wasn’t the game rated gold? Why are they changing things left and right after release? Just leave it. Let people have their fun. Nerfing in PVP to make it more balanced is something different and is fine with me, but something PVE related that takes the fun out of something is a big mistake to keep people around.

Now you simply have to face tank or go pen shot. Don’t have too much fun with that one though. Too much fun and blizzard just might need it as well.

Gonna have to disagree with TB being the only fun build. Disagree hard.

It is unacceptable that Blizzard does mid league nerfs. It is laughable that Blizzard decided to nerf TB even though TB also have been underpreforming in lategame/nigthmare pushing.

maybe it’s just me , but i’ve never felt broken - you have to aspect a combination of dmg mitigation and offensive - /shrug -

i think some of you guys expect too much

i will also say though - to “nerf” BEFORE the actual release was rather silly - there wouldn’t have been enough end game data to even know if a nerf was warranted, who cares if someone is overpowered at lvl say 30 - what matters is where the end game with all paragons stands - they didn’t even wait for that to happen

Sounds like your just bad. LOL… I was running t30’s with some RL friends and 3 of the 4 party members are TB rouges. It’s fine.

Point is not “IT STILL WORKS”

Point is “NO LONGER FUN, USED TO BE FUN, GIVE FUN BACK”

Just hit 60 with pen shot and I ain’t going back. AoE clear speed is so much better. Yeah I’ll miss the TB Rogues OP single target damage that blizzard left in place melting bosses with my eyes closed in 3 seconds, but hey they chose to nerf TB AoE lol.

What if I told you a large part of the fun of this game is theorycrafting, testing, and tweaking builds? Maybe it’s not the game for you if you disagree.

What if I told you that theorycrafting everything towards a particular synergy and then have that synergy gutted feels awful?

Yes I can theorycraft for other skills and transition to that.

Yes I feel like #$$#%! for having my current hard-earned gear rendered half-useless.
(I’m almost exaggerating but you get the point)

At least I will be prepared for the future going forward and use all available mediocre stash space until they start charging for more to load up multiple builds worth of gear, so next time they make a build so unfunctional that it won’t be as bad spending the millions to respect an entire new set of gear, instead of starting a new alt.

cant wait til they start losing players cuz of this bullsh*t.

then they’ll start charging the players that actually like sucking coorporate dick and playing slow babby casual in a diablo-game for just about anything. AND then diablo will go free to play, charging even more.

cant believe i fell for blizzard again lol. never again.

I think one big issue is there were a lot of unexpected nerfs to builds that were great in Beta. So folks excitedly created characters in Prod to recreate those builds and are now disappointed cause they suck. Sorcerer is painful now, compared to feeling great in Beta. Unfortunately TB also got hit, and now Flurry appears to be the new hotness.

People still clearing 70+ nm dungeons with twisting blades.

Nerf barely did anything.

Indeed, but the AoE is inconsistent and you end up waiting for cooldowns between packs or facetanking while you wait. Which feels bad and cumbersome.

Also, the fact that a whole passive skill tied to a core skill that does almost literally nothing is counterintuitive.

Yes I can respec to the daze passive and still clear. Yes I find it annoying cause I want the CDR to be functional and to be able to build around it.

Ive basically stopped playing until they fix it. I may play in season one but damn if they arent trying their hardest to aboslutely suck the fun out of these classes.

Its a killer game at base and ive never seen a dev team so activly attempt to ruin their own games fun factor. Beta was easily a 9/10 for me and after these nerfs/bugs im sitting it at a 5/10. Its there, but only as long as nothing else comes out.
