GGG needs to change their view of the endgame and stop the nerf madness

The problem is, that GGG isn't nerfing, they destroy skill,passives and items.
Remember Cloak of Defiance, old Arctic Armour, old Eldrich Battery and Incinerate? They are all complete shit now and nobody is using them.

Even Blizzard does a better job nowadays with Diablo 3...

There are more examples of buffs than nerfs. It's actually kind of a problem and why a bunch of us care about power creep.

Hell no dude they have nerfed so many skills, items, passives its crazy. GGG boosting heavy strike by 5% damage isnt a buff...its a waste of time and a joke. Just face it, the balance team just listens to reddit, monitors the ladders and nerfs based on that. They have no clue what they are doing and having op items and builds it what makes this game fun.

Maybe instead of nerfing builds, they should be buffing builds that AREN'T powerful and stop being such a miser over who gets to see the endgame.

+1 for making every weak build facetank shaper's mechanics,totally easier and fun to play,just like BV pathfinder is.

Nerfs aint going to stop,get over it,neither people crying that their easy mode build will be no more will matter if they leave.

Damn,never sounded more fanboyish in my life :/ But if people are fine with this BV pathfinder atrocity and want it to stay,wonder what they will cry again after this,if GGG in fact start buffing things to it's level instead of better overall balance and no builds that allow you to play and watch TV in the same time.

Ok. So what was Shield Charge? What is Fireball. For every 5% buff to heavy strike, I can pull individual skills going back to the days when cleave was king.

Top level. What are acendancies? Giant buffs to everything that every nerf prior and every nerf until the servers shut down will not compare to.

Fyi fireball is still bad. Bigger multipliers for fireball and ice spear won't fix the skills. The problem with melee and these skills is the clunkyness, that 50% more damage won't fix. That's the problem with the changes in 2.4. They do not address the issue.

Doesnt matter bro they have nerfed far more than they have buffed. We could literally list loads of things that have been nerfed and guess what...if fireball gets out of control they will nerf that too just like voltaxic, consuming dark, coc, mjolner spark totem, vaal spark, kaoms heart, bringer of rain, soul taker, inner force, freezing pulse, cwdt enduring cry, curse effectiveness, spectral throw, crown of eyes, searing bond, lightning coil, cloak of defiance,mind over matter, i mean the list goes on and on...

Fireball is amazing and I have the character to prove it public for you to see. I did it before this 50% buff too.

Provably false. You are listing a bunch of stuff that got buffed before it got nerfed, which is a little silly. We could just go to the tree. Heck, we could just go to the starting nodes of the tree.

You are on actual crack dude. This stuff was not buffed at all before its downfall...
