Hope some influental streamers and others complain hard about this so they have a change of heart.

Wouldn't be so quick to assume that..... Tons of changed to tons of different interactions. I don't think anyone can really say what's going to happen. I could be wrong also but I think the goal is that every build isnt using it and that the damage can be made up elsewhere

what are you talking about? i mained a sorc to 100 if you built cooldown and had the frost nova aspect you pretty much had infinite vuln. also they nerfed cooldown too. sorc is objectively going to be the worst it's ever been. btw you're the one whiteknighting rod ferguson rn dude. chill.

why not? It's still a massive multiplicative damage boost = mandatory

Bro that's why it's class balancing smh 🤦. Literally universally ppl were asking for VUL nerfs because it's a retarded and useless multipler Nd makes every build require it on their builds. Now you'll have to think and try some new stuff cuzz game got harder lolll

Hey I asked the same question and someone said I was talking about an exploit and reported the thread and it got closed. So careful. I don't think it's worth doin cuz they're banning people

No you don't, it's effectiveness is nerfed but its still mandatory multiplicative damage boost... no change to strategy, just nerfs.

Bro stfu with this white knight nonsense. Check my post history clown

The problem wasn't damage alone though. And by the way, those flat % buffs do NOT equate out to what vuln/crit did. (25% vs. 150% for example? huge swings)

The problem is lack of survivability and insane resource dependency on sorc.

Problems
-Sorcs are required to use 4 defensive cooldowns to survive
-Basic abilities dont generate resource
-Sorc CORE ability/MASTERY ability cost insane amounts of resource
-Once resource is expended (4, 5 core casts? less for Mastery), sorc must evade or use DEF cooldown (Squishy)

All stat investment is oriented around cooldown + resource regen/mana reduction.

In the problem statement above, resources will CONTINUE to be expended at the same rate -- but then the sorc has less viable options to escape.

- Damage is worse
- Resource demand is the same
- Survival/Defense is worse

Sorcs can't take when they're out of resource, they have to flee. They get fucking crushed by one poison tick, and can be 2 shotted by trash mobs in Helltide (lvl 80+).

who exactly was "universally" asking for vuln nerfs?
