Hey Rob, and chat. Is there any hope for Necromancer next season? I'm feeling hopeless

[@aphrorox]

Thanks for the feature! Now we wait and see how gutted it gets for VoH 🤣

[@Deffine]

The evade teleport only work when you attack right? Because you barely have any cooldown reduction, just the boots and Tal Rasha have CDR. In S5 you can actually get enough CDR to evade teleport constantly without attacks.

[@PepsiMTG]

congrats lol

[@ravenritual6662]

Great work Roxy, awesome build

[@DanielgunKim]

It’s cool to see the potentials or viabilities of other sorc builds-although it’s the PTR-than only seeing Lightning Spear as the only S tier build. Keep up the great work Rob in keeping us informed!

[@kingofchaos_1]

def not only s tier just best tier. you got plenty of sorc options rn

[@alexanderlishnev6471]

Damage proc number is the same as on live. So.... yes, it will be ten times lower.

[@TheIdiotChallenege]

it's going to take time to get all glyphs to 100. If you can get all glyphs to 100 you deserve to speed farm pit 100

[@ErikByrwa]

At level 90 pit clear, you only have a 1% chance to upgrade a level 99 glyph to level 100. Game will need to be balanced around pit 95 being achievable if they want people to get glyphs to level 100. My guess is we'll get more pit levels to compensate and allow for content that can push builds harder.

[@janoskorodi3208]

Some player except me hade trouble when we done a pit after when we want to upgrade the glypses the game crashed and kicked off us. Hope this is sorted in live server when the season 6 start.

[@clfoster82]

Most of those are definitely words, it's just the way you've arranged them doesn't make sense. Can you try again so we might understand what you're trying to say?

[@bobashpole4578]

I am a causal player. When I was trying out the Pit I did NOT max the glyphs. Did not seem to tell us anything about a build if the glyphs are level 100 with unlimited perfect mythic uniques. The boost features are great for experimenting with builds, and I used them. The first time I maxed the glyphs, I did not expect level 100 glyphs. It would have been better for testing to be able to raise the glyphs to level 15 or level 45.

[@flowqi212]

Didn't expect to see such an amulet after less than 1 week of PTR 😅, probably the craziest thing in this video ^^ besides the stats bugs ofc.

[@treybowman8561]

Difficulty doesn’t need to be fixed . The s tier builds need to be brought down to A . Other wise . Invalidates all other builds . Raising the ceiling won’t work when a lot of builds can’t function nearly as well . Even with perfect gear .

[@PepsiMTG]

the only 4 ga ive gotten was frostburn. good to see some use of it lol

[@tumbleweed0u812]

Everyone is playing right into the hands of the Nerf, making it easy for Blizzard to see what they're going to kill off......

[@tealwombat]

It's cool to highlight new builds, but if the lucky hit proc damage hasn't been squished on the PTR it's clear this won't work the same on live.

[@kayakyakyakr]

Lucky hit chain lightning is pretty good on live with Andy's. Not surprised there's a way to do it on ptr with broken items

[@paulhoffman1677]

Awesome video! This is why PTR exists, so hopefully Blizzard can dial in some of the numbers, it seems like this was probably an oversight with the stat squish.

[@wallele3910]

Idk how realistic all this damage is how many people are going to have all these 4GA uniques… GA is so hard to get in the new season

[@greenjesus1821]

CL is my favourite build, the mobility gives you so much leeway with trading DPS for defence; just don't stop moving 😅

[@teeemm9456]

What's the point of using perdition when it's 99% bug broken?

[@KL-lt8rc]

I've wondered if something that like (elemental procs on uniques like frostburn) could be viable in a build. Neat!

[@clfoster82]

I know the damage would probably be significantly less, but I bet this would be fun to try with a Doombringer

[@MightyMouthDFT]

If the luxky hit was 5-10% chance then high damage like that makes sense but whe its 40+ % and you can stack 200% lucky hit the 60x weapon damage is too much

[@skeekie9845]

Blizzard taking Notes to fix this just wait and see

[@scdogg444]

Yes that's the point of the PTR. Get the broken shit out so we aren't bored in 4 days.

[@johne1743]

the thing is most of the damage is coming from the bugged helm and gloves. Blizzard doesn't know that so they'll just do a nerf on the skills 🤣🤣

[@cinecastmedia]

@@johne1743 what's the bug with the helm and gloves?

[@keyes8495]

[@Rainbowfrog-0]

This is obviously not intended and will be fixed.

[@jasonkirkland1304]

Build looks great IF we can get every piece of gear to have absolutely perfect stats I want to see this stuff with normal gear that everyone gets

[@joshnovak480]

Hey robb love your videos but was wondering why o videos of sprit born or am I missing something haven't seen any

[@zaiyas1408]

It’s not out yet. people only had like 2 hours to play it and it wasn’t a endgame character, had no access to Ubers or normal uniques, no access to all the legendary aspects and no runes or mercenaries. that’s just not enough to make a detailed build guide or even any build guide. He can hypothesis a build based on what little we know but considering how much information we’re lacking it’d be pointless to do so. Better to just wait for the Launch of the DLC. It’s gonna be a blitzkrieg on launch to see who can figure out what the best build is for Spirit born and I’m excited to see what people figure out. It’ll be nice going into a new season/DLC not knowing what the meta is.

[@joshnovak480]

@zaiyas1408 sweet thanks man for the comment how you think the dlc goin to wok will it be played in seasonal or eternal relem

[@rahkeemlewis6270]

Question, leveling the glyphs to 100 on one character, do I have to do it again when I make a new character?

[@sykesgeo132]

Unfortunately that's how Diablo is

[@nektosan]

The glyphs are different for each type of character (1 set for sorc, other for barb, etc)

[@many3243]

Good thing the #s are smaller

[@jefferyepstien5926]

100% they will Stat squish those lucky hit damages

[@assortedshorts6878]

nice to see they made sorc a sorc again

[@Deffine]

Ugh, Blizzard devs being Blizzard devs. Imagine what mess it would be with no PTR. These people need gamers to do the work for them and even then we are lucky if they even listen to us.

[@Mesoz]

They honestly have been listening to feedback relatively well. Can look at the ton of changes that happened between season 5 ptr and season 5 start to see that.

[@Deffine]

@@Mesoz Yes, they have gotten a lot better. But these things happening over and over shows a real lack of competency.

[@Mesoz]

@@Deffine it’s a PTR, with new mechanics, new skills, new interactions. There’s going to be bugs, and you shouldn’t expect things the be tuned 100% correctly. Or there will be an interaction a player finds the devs may of not thought of. An example of another game would be this past league in Poe, scrying a specific white map and people where printing divines (which was promptly fixed and the players who abused this where either banned or suspended). Point is this is a test realm. Finding bugs or things broken is honestly the point, giving feedback so those things can be fixed. Sure they could not do a ptr and just do internal testing, even if they had the best team in world specifically for this there would more than likely still be bugs or unintended interactions that would get through.

[@Deffine]

@@Mesoz Bruh, this is not about small bugs, its about a lack of critical thinking. The way Hordes changed from PTR to live season was like night and day. It has nothing to do with unforeseen stuff being in there. Its the gross lack of competence.

[@roshunepp]

We won't be able to get the gear very fast so I'm not sure there's nothing to strive towards.

[@HartSodher]

how do you get 100% critical probability?

[@EternallyGod]

Thanks for the videos showing only others know how to play the game.

[@whatdoyoumeanbtw]

This is good theory crafting how insane this could be, but these items with these rolls/GA is most likely not achievable. So thats how it goes, everybody knows.

[@Areyouoscar]

Is it possible to see all buffs above the skill bar now?! 🤩

[@PepsiMTG]

yep, amen!

[@MangoHero247]

Probably just a pc thing. They said they’d add a list of what’s obtainable for enchanting and that’s only on pc. 😑

[@zaiyas1408]

I feel like they need to seriously address the other elements on sorc. It seems like lightening is always the best. Ball lightening, lightening spear and now this chain lightening build. All the other elements have ok builds but nothing compared to the lightening builds we’ve had. Hopefully they can figure it out because it’d be a nice to use an ice or fire build in end game and have those be S tier builds instead of A tier builds like they are now. I know you can use fire or ice builds now but they’re just not nearly as good as the lightening builds we’ve had. At least firewall is great for leveling so you get to use fire a little bit.

[@KrigHammar]

New meta is my ass. Basically no matter what skill you pick with sorc, you need to proc light spears with it and you won, you are glorious.

[@photovision_90]

Is Season 6 already out? Because I can only play Season 5. How are those guys already playing it?

[@geezusotl4021]

Hope it retains some of the strength though. Chain lightning is still doing ok for season 5 but it still gets beat out by LS pretty easily . So would be nice for something different

[@jumpjack15]

Lightning spear is still miles ahead

[@geezusotl4021]

@@jumpjack15 in live sure . But in ptr all these builds are running like sub 3 minutes on the highest tier . So at that point choose what you like

[@CrazyDriftKing16]

Not sure why streamers bother with showing builds before the season releases. We already know it won’t be anywhere near accurate upon release

[@barbapabbi89]

But with build set up, it's easy to test once the patch goes live. As opposed to having to find out what works well together all over again. Then you could also just follow what changes are being made, what items they nerf/buff ect. and switch out accordingly. But it would still give a pretty good idea if the build is still strong or not. Which is much easier than coming up with a whole build from scratch.

[@TheEmlou]

has anyone tried this in the actual season, and if so, how good is it?

[@cgo1638]

Way more interisting would be a build that can do pit 80 to 100 without any 4 ga mythics or uniques😂😂

[@krisfrank84]

So this is why they disabled the Azurewrath and Frostburn items on release... Hmm.

[@vapixdarmana4428]

"I want these builds powered down because there should be a goal to aim for" That's an incredibly stupid take. You WON'T as far as I am aware anyways, have ANY paragon levels on S6 to start with so you'll already be much weaker than you are on PTR, not to mention most of these clears are using INSANE 3 or 4 GA items. I don't care how easy it is to get mythic uniques, 3 or 4 affixes are going to take a long time to farm as well. Most players will simply not be able to get to this power level in a reasonable time frame, only no-lifers who spend 9-10 hours a day will get to that power level quickly, and that's OK.

[@DejvidR6]

they just forgot 🤣🤣

[@beingbeyonddat]

Pit 100 for S6 will not be the same as Pit 200 in live server. People are comparing the levels because they are just ''the end'' of the Pit. Everyone forgot that camp fire where devs clearly said that Pit 200 wasn't created to be cleared because they were working on it so no, without bugs nobody ever cleared Pit 200 before being erased. Deal with it.

[@Deffine]

Yes, its nothing like half of what it was in S5.

[@mcarr416ix]

We don't know what the Pit balance will be in S6. Pit balance in S5 wasn't same as S5 PTR. It was scaled up when S5 went live.

[@nanashiryuu5630]

I am liking the fact that there are so many possibly viable builds. However I know blizzard is going to nerf this shit into the ground

Sorry but i disagree what you mean its not ment to speedrun hardest content? In PTR has best gear fine tuned not to forget maxed out glyphs level 100. THIS is what should be reward for doing that in expansion to be able to speed farm hardest content. If you cant do that with highest gear (all GA that is obviously not that easy in live server game) and paragon then whats the point to farm.

[@eggersm.r.5752]

How is she not running out of mana?

[@dustybrown4599]

There must be like 10 ways to get infinite mana now. My guess is that since she's using lucky hit, she probably has some mana on lucky hit. I think she's using Starless too. Conjuration mastery is probably helping.

[@Weimeraners]

Why do these people keep making builds with four-star Ubers like that is so unrealistic for most people!

[@defaultui9625]

It's not required to have 4 GA's or even 1 in most cases for the builds to work. People have them on PTR because they are practically free. Having the right stats is generally far more important than having any GA's.

[@tonynguyen4136]

1GA mythics will be standard in S6.

[@Weimeraners]

@@tonynguyen4136 one GA is a hell of a lot weaker than 4GA

[@Weimeraners]

@@defaultui9625 you’re foolish to think that. You take a build that runs multiple three and four star pieces and then you have people that only have one or two stars if they’re lucky and those bills do not run anywhere near the same.

[@dustybrown4599]

I pretty much only play sorc. What sorc is stuck at lvl 50 in pit this season? I did 140 without much effort. Sorc is currently the strongest class, and probably has the strongest non-bugged builds in the ptr. No doubt, the sorc has had some dark times, and that's partly why I quit for a few months. Given how well sorcs are doing in s5 and the changes they're adding in s6, I don't see any reason to think the sorc won't be a top tier class.

And the only class to even feel or notice the number crunch was Necro because it is soooooo objectively bad. If they removed Necro, i dont believe anyone would care at this point, they're not using it anyways.😂😂
