Wizards are too damn squishy. They also get WAAAY too much aggro from their AOE spams. Other classes are literally unkillable and can take so much more damage and have just as good damage output. NOR does it seems like they get as much aggro as Wizards. WTF is up with that? This change needs to made ASAP.
BTW this is for PvE, not PvP.

you already said the same thing in another post
anyway…
the wizard is op
the next buff…actually should be weakened…because wizards and monks are ruining the game
Dude no one is going to take YOU seriously. I’ve read the forums today and just taking a glance on MULTIPLE threads, you are always NEGATIVE on wizards and calling for them to be nerfed. Did a wizard hurt your pride in some way? Maybe you should just learn to play better?
Also, I was saying Wizard for PLAYER vs. ENVIRONMENT not PvP. Understand the difference?
Oh and if you are wondering why the original thread has a different handle, that account used to be my original until I gave it to my older son as he took over playing World of Warcraft when I used to play like 10 years ago.
Although I only play Diablo Immortal to humor myself for now, I still find your lack of knowledge in this game baffling, even after I only played this game for a little over a month now.

if you don’t play you don’t know the game…how can he spit out sentences? I’ve been playing for 2 and a half years, I’m a player with high resonance who has suffered nerfs…well 5…because of the complaints of many players in this forum especially mages except these,
it is a fact and evidence that mages are too op
and everyone sees it
You are not very credible…instead
1 because you claim not to even play 2 because you are not able to realize how much a mage is even with only 2000 resonance and then you are offensive
When changes are made to classes / abilities, they affect both PvP and PvE, because Blizzard generally don’t make separate changes for each mode, so if Wizards were given better mitigation in PvE they’d also get it in PvP.
I don’t play PvP so I can’t speak about that. But I too have noticed that these last weeks, my Wizard “feels” way weaker than it used to. Not when it comes to dealing damage, that’s fine and maybe even OP, though I can’t speak about that either. Problem is that some time ago, my wizard could endure more attacks/damage than now. Even when now it’s way more powerful than it used to be, regarding CR, reso, secondary stats, etc. And I’m using almost the same build as before, only replaced Ice Crystal with Ice Armor, hoping that it would help (which it does, both for defense and attack, being a buff that triggers the Bottled Hope’s buff
)
As an example, I also have a barbarian. Lower stats, generally speaking. When doing the Kill Diablo solo quest, I completed it with the wizard in a shorter time. But I lost count of the times it died
With the barbarian, it took longer, but it only died once…
finally an honest player the wizard as you said is op…if he is weaker than the barbarian it’s fine…the barbarian attacks from close range…but you also admitted that the barbarian has a lower dps much lower than the wizard and rage as now unfortunately it is true…I wish the wizards would stop asking for nerfs for the barbarians…and that they would admit that a nerf would be necessary because with 3 wizards and 2 monks.in bg…you can’t play anymore the wizard must not be a dps…xd
Of course my wizard has more damage than my barbarian but not so much as you seem to think. It has better equipment, better gems, more CR and resonance, higher ranks in all items… If I swapped both characters’ classes, I’d have a barbarian way more powerful in all aspects than the wizard, able to deal a lot more damage and way tougher than what the wizard ever was. I do have other characters, DH and Monk. And both of those deal a lot less damage than the barbarian. Because they have lower attributes, generally speaking. Does that mean that DH or Monks, as a class, are weaker than Barbarians? Definitely NOT.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking for the barbarian to be nerfed. But not for the wizard to be nerfed, either. I only joined this discussion to show my agreement with the fact that the wizard has become too weak against all kinds of damage, in my opinion. Maybe that’s why Blizzard doesn’t want to nerf it… It would become 100% cannon fodder 
don’t get carried away…a wizard who does more damage than a barbarian as you yourself admitted…is not conceivable in the game…I’m high in resonance and much higher in stats…and it’s not possible to be all blocked for wizards on the stairs of the bg
What I admitted and will keep admitting is that a more “developed” character is more powerful than a less developed one. No matter what classes they are. I’ve got a BK and Tempest, my most powerful and developed characters. Any of them would kill my wizard (and the barbarian) with a couple of hits. And wouldn’t even be damaged.
Don’t try to turn what I said into something completely different and false.
I don’t know about BG because I don’t play it, I did admit that too from the start. I’m too bad at PvP games and the very few times I tried, I was always defeated by players with characters way weaker than mine. Because they had better builds, knew how to move, avoid my attacks, etc. Maybe this could be the problem you are facing now?
Skills/essences can be modified for PvP only activities, keeping it as is for PvE. It was done for CoL which now has a different CD in PvE and PvP content.
They can be, but generally they aren’t.
Running Challenge dungeons, I saw wizards doing 4 and 5 million dps today. I don’t think they need a buff, just some armor.
no the mage must not have any armor and nothing more
already does a lot of damage and armor to the mage is not needed he should stay at a distance
but we need to have something ib, less for the mages!!!
Damn never enhance the melee classes to the storm does not need buffs…the barbarian needs buffs!!!
Ignore this turd “OscarettoDog”. He has absolutely no clue WTF he is talking about. i don’t think he has played this game recently at all. Just a TROLL.
If you just look at the playerbase, you can see almost everyone is playing Templar, Barbarian or Necro. WTF is the Wizard class? Yeah it’s that bad. I mean just look at Battlegrounds. EVERY FCKING PLAYER is a Templar, Barbarian or Necro. Rarely see a Wizard now.
LMAO wizzards need nerfs and not buffs. What are you people smoking and wtf is a Templar
Be realistic

I took a quick look at the Master Battlegrounds Leaderboard on the EU server cluster I play on…
Wizard - 37 Legends
Barbarian - 48 Legends
Monk - 22 Legends
Demon Hunter - 17 Legends
Crusader - 19 Legends
Necromancer - 36 Legends
Blood Knight - 7 Legends
Tempest - 56 Legends
I presume you meant Tempest, not Templar, which is absolutely Flavour of the Month right now by a large margin. However, as you see from my data above, there are more Wizards than Necromancers in the Legend bracket.
I kind of feel sorry for the Blood Knights. It’s clear they need some love.

My SEA Master BG Leaderboard:
You are correct. For difficult content like Challenge Dungeons, Hellslayer Bounties and even Vanguard, I’ve started using a ranged build based around lightning balls and thistlebloom winds, instead of the typical bug-zapper aura builds that is so good for easy content. The difference is night and day, I can do dungeons for hours without the mental fatigue of always being on my toes with aura builds. You can actually see stuff you should dodge instead of dying to it.
I think the problems with wizard PvE survivability is that the current good stuff forces you to play in melee range. This is not a melee class.
