Did They Just SAVE Season 5 in Diablo 4?

[@Rob2628]

Barb Key Passive (even the ones no1 was using like Walking Arsenal) has been hit very hard. I totally agree that Barb had to come down with things like Gushing Wounds & the mainstat rebalance is a good solution BUT what happened with "the rule of cool" they mentioned? 🤔 Buff other Class to Barb level rather than nerf the Barbarian! At the moment there is nothing that makes players excited to start a Barb in Season 5. They nerf META builds & non-META builds alike, so we just end up playing the same Builds but much much weaker. Still having big hopes for the reworked Uniques 🙏

[@baghatur1177]

BARB NATION LOGGGGGGGGGGG OUT EZ

[@simonevalia1505]

In a world of oneshotting every foe the rule of cool cant be reliable, because following that the game will be just a spam of couple skills even worse than what we have here, and this cant be fun. Barb used to bleed twice a second for billions, while other classes could do the same damage of 2 ticks of bleed but in the whole dungeon, for instance. Its good to balance instead of nerfing, but barb had to be fixed

[@hotpancakes9814]

Hi Rob! In my opinion, buffing other classes to barb level rather nerfing just means all classes will be insanely powerful and all content trivial. I think nerfing was the right choice here. Although I agree that if they just made barb suck, then it’s a fail. But generally nerfing rather than buffing is healthier for ARPGs (again just in my opinion)

[@Thorgrimn]

I agree that barb had needed some selected nerfs but these were multi-layer massive nerfs that destroyed underperforming non-meta builds. This was not smart. It will make balancing even more difficult with wild swings like this. Just remember if you are for these kinds of nuclear option nerfs for barbs, it will happen to your class as well. I play rogue, barb, and necro so I will just switch and not play barb at all next season. This kind of nerf mentality is not healthy for the game long term and just pits players into class warfare which again isn't healthy long term. Use a scalpel not a nuclear missile to balance classes.

As someone who started playing diablo from diablo 1, I like playing slow and completely clearing all areas, opening every chest, etc. Now they have made it so you cant master craft or improve any of your gear if your not able to speed clear the pit.

There's nothing to loot in the pit until the end though. You can clear everything, it just adds to your progress bar until the portal opens. Find a level you can clear with ease and you shouldn't have any issue with the timer

There is nothing to loot in the pit? And really it dosent even make sense to run super high pit levels, its not efficient ressourcewise, if you take twice as long for your run but only get 20% more loot.

I'm starting to really enjoy where Diablo 4 is going, the new content they are creating each season feel pretty fun and I just wish they kept a bunch of things into future ones. Like the Vaults were a fun new way of playing and grinding, I hope they'll keep this monster rush thing as well! Also, the fact that they are NERFING things is *good*. I don't understand why people get so upset over nerfs... If you only keep buffing things you'll end up with the 10.5B numbers that have little to no meaning and doesn't make you feel like you're getting stronger. If you keep buffing, then there's also never going to be a "norm" for the bosses and the devs need to keep buffing monsters and the likes in order to keep up with the constant increase that happen with every buff/fix. A good mix of nerfs and buffs is the way to go. I can't wait for Season 5! I hope there'll be some cool new uniques for conjuration sorcs!

[@zodwraith5745]

@xkz92 My background is playing mmos the better part of the past 25 years. This was my first arpg. I played launch through S1, quit, and returned for S4. I have enjoyed S4 much more than when the game launched. With, that said, i hope for more. Totally different genre, but I have played a good bit of fortnite the past 6 years, and I guess I kind of expected a similar seasonal experience. An overarching storyline which is advanced by each seasonal storyline. New mechanics, quests, items, mobs each season. Some of which stay and become part of the base game experience in future seasons. Gradual changes to the map and POIs. A cohesive, gradual building of the game with each new season. There's been some of that, but far less than I expected. To say seasons in D4 have been underwhelming is an understatement. They have a good foundation, I think, but they haven't made enough changes to the base game, so it just feels like the same general experience again and again.

I've always mained sorc so I know how being gimped feels. But barbs don't need an across the board nerf. Once you roll a barb that _doesn't_ use bash or dust devils they are _NOT_ OP. They only need the weapon tempers for those meta abilities nerfed, not a sweeping nerf that hurts _every_ build and ability. This will just make barbs HAVE to use those meta builds just to be viable.

HOTA/quake is still viable but it's kind of a clunky build compared to the mobility and ease of WW/DD or bash. It doesn't need to be nerfed IMO and is probably sitting right about where it _should_ be, which is right in line with the other classes. Which just circles right back to my original point. Barbs don't need an across the board nerf, just tweaks to the broken builds that get WAY too much strength from all the weapon tempers. There is no "HOTA deletes everything on the screen" temper to stack, just a size increase giving it more AOE. A universal barb nerf will ruin HOTA, upheaval, rend, and leapquake builds that are only semi-viable as it is for endgame.

The only reason I came back to play D4, was because the game was fun as a Barb. (For me) I've put at least 40 hours into my Barb and I still can't kill tormented bosses. Sure, it's probably because I'm terrible with the game, but that doesn't change the fact the game is starting to be fun for me. If they nerf things, then I'll take a break again. Not everything needs to be balanced around a character that has near perfect gears.

[@zodwraith5745]

This was what made a lot of people like D3, but also a lot of people hate D3. It was easy to pick up and feel really powerful within a few days, but on the other end those that DO want to put the hours in don't feel rewarded if the end game isn't difficult enough. (I actually liked D3 but I would get bored quickly within several days of each new season and shelf it) If they can get a better balance between classes I think D4 has a pretty good balance on difficulty vs time invested. Tormented bosses are _supposed_ to be hard. You're not supposed to be able to outgear them, you're supposed to learn the fight.

Possibly done via cube transmutation even? Lots of cool possibilities exist in the realm of crafting, upgrading, and using underutilized items. I'm hoping the devs are, at least, having talks along these lines. I think more crafting is needed beyond what we have so far.

Blizzard has been "fixing" the game for almost a year or more now, and the balance between the existing classes is horrendous, with Sorceress being completely trash, and Barbarians being the Dev's little pet. And now we have to pay for a class that's better than all 5 base game characters at once, and covers the fantasy of each as well. If the Spiritborn is any indication of the paid classes coming in the future, Blizzard needs to do a heavy rework on ALL of the base classes so that they can remotely compete for popularity.

Adding in 20% here and 20% there is barely going to make up for my other classes that are easily doing 2-3 TIMES the damage with equivalent gear, and barbs are doing 10x. While my barbs can stroll through lvl 100 pits, every other class can run 50-60 fairly easy and burn the boss fast, while my sorcs will be on a pit 40 boss for at least 30-60 seconds. I've tried the blizzard, ball lightning, and frozen orb metas this season and none of them feel "strong" in any way the second you're not fighting trash mobs. We do amazing AOE for waves of lvl 100 mobs and stomping through helltides, but once you have to face the helltide boss or a lvl 150 ND or Pit boss you better get a drink ready cause you're gonna be here for a while. They could literally DOUBLE our damage and I still don't think sorc would be a top class. That's a problem and I'm not sure these buffs are going to change any of that. I swear Blizzard does zero testing past level 100 and that's how sorcs got where they are in the first place.

@@brunodecarvalho2221 Yeah, with a clunky build that _can_ be viable but only with perfect positioning, perfect flame wall placement, and perfect timing. That's a testament to how good that _player_ was, not the class. So give credit where it's due. Any top .01% player can make any class viable, I'm doing fine on my 2 sorcs, but as soon as I roll to any other class I do SO much better with much less effort. Barb's weakness is it does ridiculously more damage than the other classes but it has to stand right in the shit to do it. Having 3X the other classes' HP only goes so far in really high pit levels and you need to _NOT_ get hit in the first place to survive. Sorcs, if played well, can evade and move around while chipping away at a boss or pack of mobs. That's always been the method for really high greater rifts. For the other 99.99% of players and gameplay sorcs are gimped compared to the other classes.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

I feel like the classes need a bit of upgrade to boost their fantasies. Some of the spectacle just isn't there. Like the sorc could really use a whole new suite of usable ultimates, a rework to its enchantment system, and it's conjurations could frankly be more impressive. Like some of the stuff just looks boring by comparison.

Last time they nerfed classes just to balance the game, it was a shitshow and the devs made a special crisis firechat to calm the spirits. I still have faith in the devs they can pull it off and deliver a great season for all classes, but I have to admit my copium levels are depleting fast.

[@FzNd]

@@danielsecara I never understood how people can equate a clearly broken game with "fun". Out of interest: do you enjoy cheating in games? That's the same mindset: "I need to break the game in order to have fun". Diablo 4 doesn't need cheating for that, because it's "legally" broken. Fixing an absolute mess of overscaling player power is not "nerfing everything that is fun" (and they are not doing that anyways, since everything in D4 is still way too powerful). The game was poorly balanced from the get-go, and it has not gotten much better. It had absolutely terrible player scaling from the get-go and that has even gotten worse. One big reason for that seems to be people with your mindeset, who constantly moan about everything that "nerfs" things. The "buff everything" mentality is not balancing. Look at Diablo 3, where we are seeing 5digit damage multipliers. Balancing sets a baseline that you target, and if you have outliers above that baseline, you bring them down. People constantly demand that defs raise the baseline instead. That's not balancing, but terrible game design. This is a general problem of pretty much every popular modern ARPG, and the last two Diablos might be the worst offenders.

I remember them saying in development how much they were focusing on improving variety and itemization from D3, and then when it released everyone complained about the lack of build variety or itemization being disappointing. Like sure, there aren't set bonuses locking you into specific builds, but just removing those doesn't suddenly make any combination of items viable.

The game director for vessel of hatred actually said in an interview recently, he referred to creating a new class in the Diablo universe as a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. I definitely could be grasping at straws here, but I sort of interpreted him saying that as meaning, if there are more classes coming to Diablo 4, they will not be totally new ones, they will be previous classes we have seen in the franchise. Otherwise, making the Spiritborne wouldn't be a "once in a lifetime" opportunity as Brent Gibson put it. I have to agree with what you're saying around the 2:45 mark Rhykker...

I think having 2-3 extra aspects will still and always will overshadow extra main stat power increases.

I see where you're coming from, and I'm thinking the same. But I have faith in the devs now that I've seen them do their own things regardless of the complaints from many of their loud fans. The fact that they are *NERFING* the top DPS is incredible. They don't need to constantly buff everything else in order to balance it. If they go with that mindset then you'll end up with D3 where everything "need" to be in light speed, damaging numbers in the billions and no real feel for game mechanics because you one-shot everything. I do, as of right now, believe in them. We'll see how bad this comment sounds in the future lol
