how the fuck did a skill like winter orb enter this game?

I mean its like a bot play...all you gotta do is dodge shit while orb does the work. It's like GC mines (which is OP) without ever having to drop and trigger your mines. This must be console influence

Is Winter Orb really any worse than totem builds?

People keep making this huge deal about Winter Orb being a Totally Automated Self-Playing Supahbuild that breaks the game, but yeebus - we've been able to make builds that do damage while you move around dodging for forever. Warchief totems is still one of the easiest league starters in the game. I get that Winter Orb can be specced to do a gobschyte of damage, but so can everything else. Hell, Cold Multi-DOT Occultist does over a million DPS in fifty-chaos budget gear and a 5L - I know, I did it it in Betrayal - and it can run around and avoid stuff while pumping the deepz too.

Seriously. Is it just the Blade Vortex-y moving-stacks thing that bothers people? because everybody said this shit about Blade Vortex too, back in the day.

Yes. tOtems have a short shelve life being stationary and targegtable.. not to mention you actually have to stop and place as opposed to run around and dodge while at full charge with WO. Honestly I'm surprized not 100% playing it instend of just 40%.

Shit is beyond broken. Did I mention with tippy top gear you do 30 million DPS? So more powerful than everything as well.

Auto targets. Best DPS. Boss boss killer and AOE.

it takes skill to use Winter Orb and right now the skill is so underpowered it deserves a buff in 3.7

Bots don't have to dodge, they just log out and start a new baal run to carry unless burning souls or stygian dolls blow them up.
Yep, totally over league play.

I mean...you also throw a totem once and it does its thing at full power for its full duration, no fidgeting with maintaining stacks. The melee totems have a huge placement speed boost that makes banging out five or six of them take less time than building one full stack of Blade Vortex or Winter Orb. Targetable rarely matters, since most totem builds treat their totems as disposable anyways, and frankly Warchiefs being targetable is a bonus for builds that get their totems to taunt for them.

Tippy-top gear makes Heavy Strike endgame-worthy, and isn't ever really an argument.

Yeah, Winter Orb is really good. It'll probably get knocked on the head a bit in 3.7. But seriously...I don't see where the ridiculousness is compared to all the other means we have of semi-automated damage in the game.
