"the changes made to reduce the power of sorcerer builds was intended to balance this classe to be more in line with the others"
seriously wtf?


Essentially there were mechanisms in the game that gave too much power so they nerfed those and nerfed wizard but they didn't take into account how much the mechanism nerf already had hurt wizard....


so they double nerfed it without intending too. He even slipped and said "accidentally"

Their metrics likely tell them that a ton of people play sorc so they probably assumed they were strong based on that since they don't play their own game.

We move ! So far having a blast in HC with my rogue. Had some touch and go moments. Level 53 and counting. Group play is mega fun now. Ofc you can do "meta" split farming but actually playing together on lane is for us quite fun. We are about 9 IRL friends and we always have a group of 4 going or sometimes even 2... it s addictive to come and play together. Have fun gang.. do not despair.

Game is hard if you want to push content. Some classes are imba some are ass. Always was and always gonna be like that. There will always be a moment when 1-2 classes/builds will overwhelmingly be separated from the others in terms of efficiency and raw power. It s just the math that hasn t been yet calculated. Moment that math becomes known is when the game gets changed which will lead to other unknows.


Great news so far for what is to come, although more than 1 stash would be GG and dealing with actual state of aspects and codex would come a long way. Other than that... the game will keep evolving and that s what we re paying money for. Content + changes every 3 months and many fixes inbetween, fuck yea.

I guess with this they clarified their vision a bit but also they said a lot without saying anything.

Basically it was a chat to tell us that next week they'll discuss the patch they have coming out.



Odd thing is the whole XP debate they said they never intended for the game to take longer but made design decisions like a considerable XP nerf for the game to take longer.... then went on how to explain they need to buff XP gain back up.


Had some whiplash on that one.


what they nerf was power leveling and group play, which is good thing for solo player at beginning of the season.

Leaderboards coming only in Season 3? That's some serious level of incompetence.


This has been known for some time now. Think of it like a key feature release date!
