GGG: When are spell casters getting some love?

GGG you keep buffing melee. Every patch has some new great melee feature. Spectral Throw, DOT buffs, Life Buffs, Damage Buffs, Cast on Crit, New melee projectile support, etc.

Spell casters are like the red headed step child. Does GGG not care anymore?

I thought storm call was going to be a viable end game spell? But its more of a CoC gem used with Spectral throw..

:(

The DOT changes were pretty huge for Righteous Fire and (lol) Searing Bond builds. In fact, both of them were straight buffed unlike some other skills.

Ya but only melee/life builds are using RF now, since they slaughtered it for ES users.

Searing bond.. no comment needed.

spellcasters were never meant to achieve the sort of power curve they had when shavs+rf abuse was still around.

you can make an argument that their comparatively weaker than melee or ranged at the moment but not that they need to be buffed back to god tier.

The argument I'm making is that GGG has been neglecting spell casters for a long time now.

Close beta : Ranged are Op buff spell and melee

OB : Casters OP buff melee pls

release : Melee OP buff casters pls

Wait for next season. Spellcasters dominated previous season. Besides they aren't so bad; cast on crit spell-casters are actually OP in non-hardcore leagues.

Furthermore, the new spell "Storm Call" is very powerful dps in comparison to previous available spells.

Isn't RF EK the main RF build at the moment? Melee spellcasters are spellcasters too...EK users in general are also spellcasters, but nobody ever talks about them because they ruin the newly emerging "spellcaster persecution" complex.

Just like Freeze Miners and detonate dead are spellcasters.

Cast on crit only works with melee attacks.. Also Storm Call is actually weaker than shock nova.

That's wrong. Ranged non-spellcasters are currently OP in hardcore leagues. Such as bow-users and spectral-throw users. Of course Aegis Aurora has always been OP, so at least that is consistent XD.
