    Druid got a net nerf. Not only was Shephard removed, but the buffs didn't fully compensate. Then on top of that the capped the thunderstruck multiplier to 40% where as before it could reach 120% or higher. So druid was double nerfed

      @JoblessBuhdda that's irrelevant when even uncapped druid can't even hit 1 billion unlike all the other classes other than sorc. So now druid will be dealing 100k damage while barb rogue and necro still does 10+ billion per hit with caps instead of 50+ billion

    Totally missed the mark on the druid changes here Raxx. Thunderstruck got capped at 40%. This was at least 200% for any serious endgame druid build running storm skills (so everything except pulverize). The loss of shepards + stampede was 180% multiplicative damage, the replacement aspects are on the order of 25% or highly conditional, for 40-55%, and the skill compensations were all 85%. So the builds like pulverize and shred that used only shepards and stampede lost a little bit of damage (round 15% or so), and the storm builds (wind shear, tornado, lightning storm, and hurricane) lost more like 65% of their overall damage. On the class that was struggling the most for damage. Druids are complete garbage tier with these changes and that needs to be absolutely drilled into the dev's minds this PTR cycle.

    • @PostprandialTorpor
      @PostprandialTorpor 3 місяці тому +6

      For Druid they failed to properly redistribute the power that was removed from Shepard/stampede and uncapped thunderstruck. They should have capped but increased both earthen devastation and thunderstruck to 60% perhaps. And the skill damage increases don’t make up for the 180% Shepard’s loss. So net nerf.
      Similar is happening with necro with multiple builds seeing 33-69% net nerfs per macrobioboi because devs don’t understand how builds use blight. Follow NikoWrex for Druid focused ptr and patch note review content on YT- great spokesperson for the class

    They’re nerfing the fun out of sorc based on a build that 1% of the community is playing that takes hours and hours of game time and massive amounts of gold to gear. The nerf impacts many sorc builds where the flame shield nerf I think is enough. It’s seems like again they using a sledgehammer when only a chisel is required or maybe they don’t know the mechanics of their game so well. The flame shield effect nerf kills the 1% of the community build. The CDR nerfs on focus, teleport kills the fun out of many builds which they said they’d avoid doing. In general there focus was to nerf bugged builds but now they’re doing CDR nerf for a 1% build that takes massive amount of game time to gear for. This feels like a season 1 style nerf which they said they’d never do. Another fun killer patch!!!

Chain lighting might have gotten a buff but like ball lighting and frozen orb before it, will be nearfed before season 5 if people are enjoying it on PTR. Otherwise the top 4 builds all got nerfs.Honestly at this point if I’m here for the xpac campaign and after I complete that I’m done with the game (again unless they have some crazy changes between now and xpac relase).

    I really want to know who’s in charge of handling sorc because man they are not in the same headspace as everyone else. Throughout the games history, sorc has really only seen marginal buffs combined with brutal nerfs. When they actually get something that puts them at the top it’s gutted immediately. It’s like they dont get why people put sorc at the bottom tier all the time.
    They need more 1) single target damage. This might happen with chain lightning but I doubt it.
    2) survivability. There’s nothing here that helps that. You can’t rely on Ubers to live.
    Sorc does NOT NEED more AoE clear. That’s the only thing they’re good at. They suffer in the endgame when enemies get spongey.

      ​​​​​​​@@dominotetris an extra enchant wont be enough and realistically what can you add as an enchant to all the meta builds as the 3rd enchantment when youre pigeonholed into using 4 defensives, ice blades and your core?
      Not only that, even if you try to go outside the meta, to even make the enchantment impactful you need to invest skill points into it as well as aspects and tempers which is impossible in its current state. Sorcs would effectively need more skill points to even make this playstyle effective but alas we are hard capped on skill points at lvl 50.

    I just want them to fix the issues with Sorc teleport. And I’m going to continue to post it everywhere until they fix it or the more likely solution is I just quit the game. The issue: Unstoppable granted on fears, but not hard CC. They want to fix Vyr’s Mastery (a bug that helps character), but ignore issues that harm player like mine? If my teleport doesn’t make me unstoppable and I get frozen or stunned in higher pit I am dead especially if flame shield is on cooldown. I already have to play kind of risky with the way the incinerate aspect works to maximize damage output. I don’t need a shiny sack of “uniques”. I just want the game to feel good. If they can’t fix it they need to give us a new form of unstoppable without needing an aspect.

    The best thing about the druid change is that it's not so simple as losing the shepherd damage and buffing the skills. We now have not 1 but 2 additional aspect slots to use something more fun and to get more damage. Lastly, we can remove those 3 companion skills and swap them for utility. My Shred druid next season will be using Howl, Trample, Lacerate, and lastly maybe cyclone armor, but I'm undecided. We have some actual CHOICES now!

    If the only temper fix is to 1 more temper per GA, its a big L. At that point, just sell every 2 and 3 GA, and just use the 1 ga's for your bricks. There is zero reason to progress your character further, if u have 1 or 2 tempers with 4 in that pool, with a 2-3 GA. Which means your character will be finished even sooner. They need a way to make 2 and 3 GA meaningful and exciting, not much if u just sell them or brick them. Need a way to reset the tempers, or just a better system. Way too much RNG layers with tempering, bricking an item. And masterworking resetting constantly. I dont mind the MW, just fix the tempering bricks.

      i actually believe that's a buff, if you're getting hit multiple times in a 1.5 second time frame, each of those hits consume 1 singular shroud. this actually allows you to get hit multiple times in a 1.5 second window and only have 1 shroud consumed for all instances of damage during that period. we'll have to see how it plays out, maybe the other instances of damage during the 1st 1.5 second window carry over to the 2nd 1.5 second period and i hope that's not the case. but i initially believed it to be a buff when i first read it and still believe it to be, just so as long as the damage instances don't carry over from window to window.

    I also wonder if the Necro Minions AI change will affect Druid Companions too, because my Wolves are also counting sheep until someone hits me instead of intercepting them.
    Also, I totally agree about Grizzly Rage. It's dead meat anyway in the Shapeshift meta, so why continue beating it? It won't get any more miserable.
    Landslide Druid will be king and there will probably be no other build, unless there are some crazy Aspects/Uniques we don't know about. I'll be playing Companions.
    In general, I think they should remove Multiplicative Damage bonuses from Legendary Aspects and normal Uniques. Bring all classes closer to Barb and promote build variety with one move.

    Raxxx if they are taking obols away from chests in helltides. That will make it all the worse to get gold next season. It adds millions of gold over the season and just over a couple helltide. I dont do the market yet I normally just farm helltide and with obols and every chest from ever place and walking I net 20-30 million a helltide with all the whispers as well. You just keep it moving and you get everything. I think thats a bad idea by blizzard. Also, i think the mind cages are apart of this season so not sure if they will be returning. Mind cages boost all rewards from helltides. I realize that they added the possibility you get mythics from the curiosity vendor but still I get 1300-1400 obols from helltide and net a couple million in gold just from using my obols to by things and selling. I exclusively farm helltide for gold I dont do the market. I get every chest every whisper and sell mostly everything. With that I can net 20-30 million a helltide normally. This will make getting gold all the harder unless Im doing it all wrong any recommendations?
