" It's the current game where's there no real choice. Would you play Static Strike instead of Blade Flurry? Arctic Breath totems instead of FB totems? Vaal Arc instead of Vaal Spark? Zombies instead of SRS? Life builds instead of ES? Me neither. Gap between meta builds and everything else is as wide as the pacific ocean right now. 177 Last edited by toyotatundra#0800 on Dec 10, 2016, 9:58:30 AM

" I have a build that uses Static Strike and is doing great, but its mechanic is clunky and having that clunkiness deal less damage does not help its cause. Hell, you do not have to compare it to Blade Flurry, Lightning Strike already does a better job than Static Strike. Cold spells in general (with the exception of vortex) are lacking power simply because GGG made bosses really hard to be frozen, so the best feature is not so attractive. Hell, add Hatred to Shockwave Totem and it is already doing a much better job than most of the cold spell builds (be it totem or not). Flameblast is an outlier because of the introduction to cast while channeling gem and the totem AI fix with channeling skill (which was in dire of need, but apparently that is a massive buff). Vaal Spark already got nerfed really well, but apparently it needs to be removed from the game to achieve balance. SRS got nerfed already in a sense that one of the best features was to overwhelm enemies with an army of raging spirits, but now that is not the case, so with a weird AI + 20 spirits equals clear speed suffers and to some extent bosses too. That is if you still use spell echo in the setup, replacing with support gems like multistrike, minion speed, or minion and totems elemental resistance can improve it again. Though, it will still not be the same since it is 20 raging spirits versus 50 raging spirits. Zombies got buffed defensively in this recent major patch, and it is not like you have these guys alone, you have spectres, skeletons (normal and vaal), and golems (slighty improved) backing them up. SRS is good enough to be a standalone skill, but can be used in support for Zombies too. As for life versus ES, yea that is a battle on its own. lol

Lets just nerf everything since "nerf" is being thrown around so casually. Nerf should be nerfed.

I'm a trash player that doesn't copy paste any builds and I am using flameblast..it's fun but it really feels like you are exaggerating.

" But there's still so much to nerf! I want a portal scroll nerf. It shouldn't be instant. It should take about a 25 sec animation. The same time as those Vaal things in Atziri's hideout. It's too easy to warp home I feel this destroys the game. I mean what's next, identofy items without wisdom scrolls!? Think of the bedlam! Deliver pain exquisite

I am not going to comment on flameblast but it really triggers me when people say to nerf ES. Everything in this game rips you to shreds in 0.1 seconds if you stop to scratch your nose or you turn around for a fraction of a second to tell your kid to stop running with scissors. Hell what am I saying, stuff will kill you randomly without any reason at all. Most of the time I don't know what killed me. Sometimes I've ripped with no bleed, no delayed damage, and no monsters on my screen, just dead as if by divine intervention.
People (justifiably) complain about this...but then also complain about ES, just about the only way to get decent defense and survive for 0.2 instead of 0.1 seconds? It blows my mind. Buff life by all means, it really needs it. But stop complaining about ES. If you have 1 shit thing and 1 functional thing, you could I dunno...buff the shit thing and leave the functional thing alone? Crazy, I know. This game needs more defenses, not fewer. Don't fall into the devs' illusion that just because they can ramp up the monster damage to unreasonable levels that the game is hard. That is a classic D3 fallacy. #makedefensegreatagain |

Play CI without Vinktars and see how well you survive. ES is really nice but without adequate sources of leech you collapse incredibly easy. Not to mention getting gatling-stunned by just about anything... Looking at you Esh.
