I guess we should get used to new voice overs for the AI. lol

Just yesterday AIs email preview for no reason changed a return flight I have from Portland to Boston. About had a heart attack. Checked actual itinerary and it was Portland. I dont even understand what it was trying to do, how it would be helpful or how it got it wrong. So yeah, no thanks.
As bad as AI is, it would still give us a far better chance of having Barbs taken down a few pegs and Sorcs and Druids actually buffed to a strong level.
That is impossible with the current human Dev Team, so AI is going to be a definite improvement.
AI balancing
Sorc has frozen orb increased by : 15 quick and easy weeknight meals!
So the same?
This is due to human error in their prompt development, not AI itself. It’s easy to fix if you know what you’re doing, clearly they don’t.
Did you see my above comment? AI wouldn’t be “bad” at the job, it would be downright embarrassing because it would suggest/implement things that aren’t even possible if not kept in check by humans, which means that any benefit of using AI would be thrown out because the humans don’t like what it’s suggesting.
Suggesting that the current human dev team are incapable of doing something is rude at the very minimum. They’ve built D4, which is even with its issues the best base ARPG out there currently, and you still think they’re incompetent?
Maybe in 10 years. AI isn’t quite there yet.
I wonder about that as well. ss 3, 4, and 5 seem to buff the least favorite skills - nerf skills players use most. For example; they try to promote “Rabies” of Druid many times when no one uses it. And useless Fleshrender unique weapon, unique pants for wolves to zap lightning.
Also try to push necromancers to use Bone Spirit, Bone Prison, and Iron Maiden when they nerf almost every Core skill of this class.
I don’t mind new skill modification but Iron Maiden!? Do they know what this curse do? I curse enemies so when they hurt me, they will be hurt in return. Come on! I’m a squishy necromancer. I don’t want to be hit by even one attack of elites and bosses.
And also persuade sorcerers to not use any defensive skills.
Please show me how to run sorcerer through Pit119 without using Defensive skills.
They aren’t capable and it’s a proven fact. They’ve had a year to prove they can even attempt doing it, but they have failed utterly in every way.
There is nothing rude about it, it’s just a statement of fact.
And yes, they are absolutely incompetent. You think D4 is the best ARPG out there? LOL no. It is filled to the brim with bugs and problems, and every patch they break something they didn’t even touch.
It is the pinnacle of incompetence. They are incompetent until proven competent, but they do not have any evidence to that effect.
They need to take every class, make the best build around every core and/or basic skill they have, and then run them and compare them and attempt to flatten them out. They surely have people who are supposed to be balancing stuff out. I’m sure they’ll miss things but Blizz is a massive company - they should have the manpower for this.
I’m not asking for perfect balance but I’m asking for things like crackling energy to be usable. Right now it’s like a trap build. Maybe like firewall sorc shouldn’t be doing 1/100th the damage of a bash barb for instance. Stuff like that - there’s huge outliers. They need to bridge these gaps.
