released a mid-season patch to buff/nerf certain skills or sets?

Completely frustrated how crusaders are garbage compared to some other classes...

Akkhan set needs buff ASAP!

Is there any hope they do smth about it this season?

yeah, same shit different day, 2-3 classes are awesome, the rest get left in the dirt. Call me weird, but I kind of like it, it encourages me to play different classes

Crusaders are still really fun if you don't plan on going high Grifts... massive amounts of hammers look like it be pretty sweet to play

The only time they do mid-season nerfs/buffs is if a set is so broken that it creates a massive gap at the top of the leaderboards.

Meaning Barbs doing solo 70s while Wizards doing solo 55s. It might have a chance. The problem is people only look at the "top" of the leaderboards.

So they see a few wizards/saders/DH with mid 60s and think "Oh, all the classes are pretty close!". What they don't acknowledge is that (In HC US, anyways), 1000th ranked solo monk is GR51, and 1000th ranked solo Wiz/Sader is GR35. That is a MASSIVE gap in quality of classes. A GR51 wiz is top 100

Top 4 man is typically 2 monk + 2 barb. Essentially this entire season is monk/barb exclusive. It's boring, and I hate the fact that they cannot seem to balance the classes enough to see some variety at the top of the team leaderboards, but it's typical of blizzard.

I still find it funny that they nuked CM wizards, nerfed APoC rolls into the ground, then removed the passive, and never returned the APoC rolls to where they were. Essentially turning wizards into the class that gets to spam "I cannot do that" "I wish I could do that"

akkhan does need a serious buff. It's kind of disappointing because it is the ik equivalent and could be so much better and versatile for a myriad of skills but it just falls short now with the power creep. which isn't even a creep, it's more of a run lol

I'm finding the hammer set is fairly decent. With sub par gear overall and possibly the shittiest rift I've ever had I did a GR 45 and it felt really easy.

I haven't even tried sader since 2.1. I'm pleased with the hammer set. I have the full gray set, w.e the fuck it's name is but haven't tried it yet

My guess is they are figuring out a level ground for all characters so then they can work alot on new types of items and really build the games content up to the level it is at in d2 lod.

The game is a big work in progress and class balancing is the hardest thing to do in any game people are always looking for ways to break the games mechanics or items. Tbh the classes atm are pretty well balanced their are only few gr lvls between each char. Some classes are better at speed clearing some are better at high lvl grs its all part of the game its the same as any game i have yet to see a build this season being so ground breaking it puts one class ahead of all classes.

overall this season brought alot of new builds and fun to the game i cant wait to see what they bring next.

bring back cm wizzyyyyyy
