Why is this surprising that the overpowered cash grab class is getting a nerf to be in a similar power level as other classes?

Blizzard tactics 101 - Overpowered upon launch will increase profits. Nerf later after profits from initial launch.

Cash grab #9,398,094 successful and you people will still defend them for these business tactics.

idk why you think the warlock was intentionally left unbalanced for sales

everyone that purchased rotw did so because it was the first real update in years and would have done so even if the lock was F tier

You forgot to mention.. Blizzard looks after their bots. When that hork bug was a thing.. they jumped on it. Can’t disrupt the profits of the bots

Now even Sunders can be found by bots

—-

This update will make blasters mad (no more exclusive sunders) and the casuals (no more OP class)

Only the bots win.. and the trolls

I give them 20 bucks, why not, I had lot of fun s13.

you only had fun because people were online.

people love D2. Its a shame that its been ignored for so long with 0 updates.

Ok so tell us a single top game, release in 2001 or earlier which got that much attention, remake, updates, seasons, new class, tuning, new items etc:

tldr fire lock only slightly nerfed? that'll stay op

It's also weird, because Flame wave is strong during leveling yes - they could just change the curve a bit in early game, but in endgame you almost don't use it, ring of fire will be decimated too (brought to Frost nova level, which sucks).

They could decrease the flame wave delay, it's lousy as fck.

They did not touch apocalypse which is good for late game, tombs/chaos high density full screen clear.
