for those of you who haven’t seen the video yet
I know it only shows specific builds, but it seems like Druid is the strongest now. almost oneshots uber lilith.
Rogue also extremely strong / Necro Bonespear still strong / Sorc kinda balanced ?! / Barb is weak
Barb is in the bin, also the season 1 heart affixes for barb seem to be the weakest aswell.
Completely avoid for S1.
yeah i dont play barb that much in d4 but i did in 3 and 2. so i know something about this class 
i read all the new “gems” hearts, whatever you gonna call it, and the barb ones are really bad.
as a necro main, i am “pretty” happy. Minions are still bad, but the Gems will help at least a little bit, i assume.
Cool, now show a video of average players trying… not the g fuel chugging try hard excel spreadsheet minmax Chads, that are at most 2% of the player base.
Well gfuel is not that popular in germany here. Rob is also German.
We are more Like Monster Energy or Red Bull.
Average players are not even level 100 i know.
i play this since diablo 1, so i know some stuff.
just wanted to show the potential of all classes.
and just for your information, don’t be mad at me, be mad at blizzard
I’m not mad at you, don’t take it that way. I was just speaking in general. Wasn’t meant to be directed at you, sorry if that’s how it came across.
After seeing some of those builds, we all see what must be done.
Nerf barbs even more.
its ok mate. no worries.
I’m disappointed myself at the moment, but I see a slight increase, at least with the minions. Paragon Board is still broken like hell.
the gems are only for 3 months so. i will play it for a few days or weeks, but i am by far not exicted, like i was when diablo 3 seasons were launching.
I also don’t like it when you put together a build with a calculator and tables for days beforehand. it was the maximum to see in the video and blizzard is guaranteed to watch a lot of these streamers and youtubers.
or maybe not?! otherwise they wouldnt nerf barb again. thats insane…
Sorecer balanced ?!
Dps nerfed
Defence nerfed…
overall you are probably correct. i was referring to this video. and the sorc looks decent there.
overall again… i dont really know.
You think swapping out gear in the middle of the fight is a legit playstyle?
Come on man.
for this boss only, i wouldnt mind tbh.
If you want to beat it on barb you just have to have perfect gear and have perfect play like Ben for over 10 minutes, okay?
Meanwhile, druid shred still allows for infinite damage stacking weeks later with exactly the same mechanics as barb rupture that they disabled within 24 hours of it becoming public. lol
maybe blizzard watches rob’s stream every day and that’s why they responded so quickly.
who knows
some say barb was just nerfed because of him
The druid and rogue instances are definitely bugs and should be fixed. I’m curious if they will leave necro output that high since that is still very strong compared to all legit builds from other classes.
Honestly the damage is fine if you’ve ground out perfect gear for hundreds of hours. The endpoint damage should be brought up to that level for every other build.
If by “kinda balanced” you mean deals next to no damage compared to druid, necro, or rogue and dies instantaneously the second anything successfully breathes on it.
Possibly, dont get me wrong I enjoy when we power up and can whack some demons. I just look at certain points of the necro fight where she literally doesnt spawn the main mechanic for phase 2. Druid 1 shot removal looks like the tornado damage will be slow enough to still get all mechanics and same for rogue when they fix the poison bug. Not saying they should touch necro anymore, I’m just wondering if they intend it to be that high of damage.
Druid & Rogue are doing very good.
Conclusion: Nerf Sorc and Barb even more. 
ARPG have always been about scaling to “broken” levels of damage. Every mainstream ARPG allows you to kill bosses very quickly if you’re uber geared. The problem is the lack of skill diversity, not the damage of things like bone spear with perfect gear.
This isn’t an MMO. Or is it?
Here’s someone insta-killing one of the hardest bosses in the game in POE skipping all of his phases and mechanics. No-one cares, because it takes good gear and finding ways to “break the game” is what makes ARPGs fun.
