Maxroll created too many meta slaves that just want to copy the “best build” and didn’t actually learn how to play. These people are in literal panic because there’s no gg season build and, GASP, they might have to actually learn their class

Doubtful… they think everything they put together is amazing

While I 100% agree with this logic, to me the actual game is just too flawed for me to invest more time in currently...


I just have a hard time with them completely ditching resistances, IAS, FCR, FHR, and many more things.


At first I was having a blast.... b/c it was a new Diablo to play. Once I wised up at lv100 I quickly was looking for the diversity at all... every piece of gear is completely identical from lv60 onward and all classes are basically looking for the exact same stats (give or take).


In my humble opinion, I have no idea how this game made it past internal testing and then beta testing with such high praise before release.


Hopefully, in a few seasons, they bring back the core of Diablo with meaningful, complete stats that we can really build upon.

only diversity you're gonna find is among the dev team

People don’t like a benefit taken away. You can call them cry babies but this is true in every aspect of life.

Nerfing all classes across the board is unpopular.

This isn’t maxroll or icy veins or anyone else.

Sometimes there isn’t some super top secret reason and it’s just right in front of us.

REKT, lmao


Very true - I truly don't see this game recovering to Diablo standards. I feel like this is FO76 all over again. Once I got to lv50 I wised up and realized this shit just isn't working.


There are a couple tiny things they said they were going to address.... after season 2, like resistances having zero merit. WTF... how do you know you have a major issue but not fix it for season 1?

There is a gg season build and its called rogue wth you talking about

u are so wrong its actually painful, we play blizzard's build not maxroll invented them

if there would be enough new content, theory crafters would be useless

is maxroll build planner down at the moment ?

I haven't looked up a single build and I've noticed a pretty big difference with my bone spear/corpse explosion necro. I die faster, it takes a little longer to kill things, & I'm running out of essence frequently. I can fix the essence bit I think but I'm not seeing any solutions to the squishiness. The damage loss isn't really a problem it isn't so bad it feels like I'm playing my sorc..

Though I would definitely agree that mass nerfs is not the way you fix balance issues early in a game's lifespan. Specific nerfs for obviously overpowered and unintended effects are one thing, nerfing almost all damage and defence is something else. The builds that were already having trouble don't suddenly get better because they depend on enough of the same mechanics that they also get worse. They might get less worse than the most powerful builds get but they still get worse.

Season content will make a difference for those with the time but casuals, who make up the majority of sales, haven't all even beaten the campaign yet. They will not be rushing to make new characters for a 3 month time frame where they're lucky to get in 4 hours of play time a week. Making them weaker in the only mode they have time for is not conductive to an enjoyable experience.
