Ok guys. I've posted changes on the PTR board. *fingers crossed* Hopefully Blizzard actually looks at the whole thing and at the VERY LEAST considers SOME of the changes. Evidently the post was TLDR so I shortened it for them. If I could have written it in crayon I would have.
Easier change is to just change the Key Passives to allow for infinite scaling damage like the Barbarian's Gushing Wounds and the Rogue's Victimize and Precision. They took Burning Instinct away as the only terrible infinite scaling Sorcerers had. But let Barbs and Rogues keep theirs on Paragon.
This is the actually most detailed video I've seen regarding skill changes and paragon, damn. Surely you're the personification of "tell me I have godly characters without telling me you have godly characters"
Just give us a 3rd enchantment slot on Lvl 100 or 80 - and a 2nd weapon set - and the chance to allocate specific skills to specific weapons ( e.g. Blizzard on 2h Staff and firebolt on Wand) And undo the removal of CDR from the offhand items
I complained about that very thing before. Sorcs have to fill out like 8 boards to get any kind of damage and we skip all the little nuggets...not that there are any really. That's why the I think the rare nodes need some love too.
I'll start with paragon board. They need to balance the rare and ultimate nodes with the glyphs. Now you just go for max glyphs and forget about most nodes. You should be able to fill out the boards that fit your build without losing power. Three filled out boards should be as good as 7 mostly empty boards. Having to use all 3 defense skills is bad. They should make ice shield a passive DR and teleport a movement/damage skill. Make fire shield the only one you need to activate. Agree with ice shards needing chill. I only enjoy ice builds. I switch between ice shards and blizzard. It's about a 10 tier difference between the 2. It's so much easier to kill a boss with blizzard. It does more single target damage as an AOE that the single target skill ice shards. Just doesn't make sense. It would be nice to see more synergy between skills. I'd like to use blizzard to set up ice shards. Just running around spamming one skill and shields gets old.
When you get the chance tell blizzard. To PLEASE BYE THE LOVE OF GOD! Give US LOADOUTS!!! Bye this time of the franchise D4 we should have LOADOUTS bye now, for good health quality of the game.
Blizzard is the only build i like to play but it requires far too many resource slots to be effective. You need two armor, weapon, or jewlry slots, lots of dedicated mana regen, paragon, and skill tree focused on it so your ice spikes do their job on top of other support structure just to keep particular barriers up full time to keep from getting one shotted. Am i wrong or does this Diablo team just hate Sorcs?
blizzard they dont fix whats broken, just buff/nerf a single spell or passive every season, then gives us new gears like toys, here get entertained while we make barb even more broken than last season, what a fucking mockery to the class that i love, cant wait for poe2 where sorcs feel like a real elemental master
Even with the proposed changes, sorcs damage is still so mediocre. All the skills hit like paper sadly. Needs a huge damage buff. And charged bolts is the most meaningless and useless core skill in the entire game. They don't last long enough even with the staff or aspects and fly out like 2 feet away from the character only.
I was hoping that by adding small bits to a lot of different nodes and glyphs sorc could start to compete and not just with a single skill, but mixing and matching a little more. I love doing gestalt builds, but it's impossible when nothing does damage.
i disagree. Sorc may be not powerful regarding the other classes but what you ask here is to make the sorc cheat the game. I play sorc and i am pretty happy. i love the challenge anyway
Not wanting a cheat. Just a balance. I don't like being forced to play one specific build because the rest suck. I would like to mix and match and enjoy theory crafting
Sorcs are extremely good .. I think there are just a lot of people that don’t know how to put together a build or understand math. I am getting tired of seeing videos about how bad sorcs are when they are so insanely good. I will be playing sorc in season 5 100%
Sorcs are definitely the most fun to play...just saying they are not getting the love that other classes are and would like to see them brought in line with the power of other classes.
You claim Sorcerer is broken, The class that has cleared the highest pit in solo and party, I say they nerf the sorcerer to the Druid level then all you people that have false claims would have a real reason to whine something is broken.
I won't argue that druid is broken as well. They need a lot of attention. I don't play then or if make a similar video for them too. And just because someone found one very specific and bad build doesn't mean the class as a whole doesn't need a lot of attention. I would love for them to put some deep thought in to class balances across the board.
Clearing a high pit due to bug on shatter does not mean the class is balance, quite the opposite in fact. That is just what I personally think, same goes for rogue that relied on skill tree bug or necro with holy bolts. As soon as it get fixed the class get to the ground and suddenly you lovely class is the new druid lmao def druids need the most attention rn

I am very impressed by how much thought you put into this and how well and clean it is edited! Great work House of AO!

Agreed. They kept all the infinite scaling for other classes, but decided the sorcerer was too powerful so nerfed us in about every way possible.
This news format is so funny! Great job! :D
Thank you very much!
I'll keep trying to put out videos as much as possible.
I’m already sold on the VERY first obvious fix. HELL YES. Extra 2-hander
This is the actually most detailed video I've seen regarding skill changes and paragon, damn. Surely you're the personification of "tell me I have godly characters without telling me you have godly characters"
LOL tyvm. Love this game. Just want it to be better.

And undo the removal of CDR from the offhand items
Not sure why they thought removing cdr on off-hand was s good idea
Its absolutely insane how little to no thought was put especially into the paragon boards for Sorcs, its crazy really.
I complained about that very thing before. Sorcs have to fill out like 8 boards to get any kind of damage and we skip all the little nuggets...not that there are any really.
That's why the I think the rare nodes need some love too.
You sound like an Aussie version of perra gaming with the odd American enunciation. Subscribed because I like the video and I'm also a fellow aussie
This was great work!
Great video
Thx Mini
Sorc has underboob skins so thats why sorc is the best.
😂😂😂😂😂
10:09 it might be cool if you could take those blue glyphs and swap them with blue glyphs in your paragon board.
That's actually a very interesting idea.
I added that suggestion to the changes listed.
I’m diving in and going hard in PTR tomorrow and I’ll be gladly posting on the Fprum and giving feedback.
Thank you very much
the best!!! great video
Thank you very much
all true ! the biggest are the weapon slots , i think they must give us an extra ring asw , Big W for this vid m8 , hope they listen .
Thank you very much. I'll put this all in easy to read crayon format for them. LOL
@Jaeru13 lmao ! good one m8 ! good one ... please do !

They've "implied" loadouts are coming. Would I hold my breath? No, but I think it's an eventuality. Probably closer to end of year unfortunately.
Blizzard needs to hire this guy and fire their own staff or at the very least put them on donuts and coffee duty
I like the way you think.

Hate to agree with you, buuuuut it's kind of looking that way at the moment.
blizzard they dont fix whats broken, just buff/nerf a single spell or passive every season, then gives us new gears like toys, here get entertained while we make barb even more broken than last season, what a fucking mockery to the class that i love, cant wait for poe2 where sorcs feel like a real elemental master
They give us little treats and expect us to be so grateful 🙏

The main problem is skill Lucky hit is fk low
Yes. It needs some boost
Dooo it, Blizzard!
what about the rest of clasees rouge all of them to be as good as the barb?
Agreed. Poor Druids really could use some attention too.
i disagree. Sorc may be not powerful regarding the other classes but what you ask here is to make the sorc cheat the game. I play sorc and i am pretty happy. i love the challenge anyway

I like challenge too, yet still i would prefer to feel the power of my beloved class.

You play a different game, there i fixed it for you
wtf ^^
Not sure I understand
