Lol "if sorc's enchantments don't get buffed by expansion..Its time to riot"..lol

For the Druids, I personally enjoy the permanently shape shifted playstyle, specifically werewolf. I enjoy themed builds, like using all werewolf skills and only change a defensive or similar when I hit a wall. That happens too often. The biggest pain point is that outside of crone staff builds (which is annoying because you must have a decent rolled unique to even get started), nothing is very good except specific speed farming set ups. Blurred beast and grizzly rage got hit with heavy handed nerfs. It irks me that Lacerate is so bad as well. It has no aspect, unique, or paragon support. It just sucks.

I would like to know what trauma Blizz experienced that led them to destroy sorc this way

Yeah Barbs running here with 5000% dmg scaling while Sorc is on a leash and have everything hard capped at super low numbers

Buff Sorc

Necro Keypassive: Shadowblight: Do 0.5% more Damage! Barb Keypassive: Gushing Wounds: Do 5000% more Damage! Ah yes, balance.

Thankful to have Wudi helping me out with D3/D4 guides for a decade now thanks man

"dead on arrival" like 90% of sorc uniques

PTR's in the future need to be up way longer than a week. if they want focused feedback, have EXACTLY what they want us to test, on the PTR. do it in weekly waves. like, test endgame stuff one week, test balance changes another week, test leveling another week.

Honestly i did not use to complain but one class being able to farm materials 1000000x more efficient ruins the economy

If sorc still suck at season start im skipping this season the game has been out for more than a year and the class is still complete shit they have no excuse its not hard to buff them to be close to the others classes

"nothing from season 4 is going away" That's not entirely true sadly. Holy bolt potion is going away, iron wolves rep (guarantying a resplendent spark per character) and mindcage too. I'm not convinced S5 will actually be even as good as S4. I hope Blizzard break the odd season curse, but I'm not convinced. The sorc nerd being so out of touch once again.

If they really want to keep the knockback "flavor" of Windforce, I think the best skill to focus on the effect on is Forceful Arrow. The skill already has knockdown mechanics built in, gives another ranged basic build to compete with Heartseeker. Heck, maybe have it turn Forceful Arrow into something like Multishot? A lot of folks miss that.

not only did they nerv sorc defences and all we got to compensate is a 30 sec cd flameshield proc. also most paragon nodes are pointless 5 life regen in what world does this anything

Good feedback for the devs, see you when the expansion is out!

Another Barb season? No one saw that one coming, what a joke.

Nerdge Glasses = wudi's locked in

Rewatched some of your old D3 content today. THANK YOU to our evergreen content producer! GL in Szn 32 if you racing :)

thanks, good feedback

Do you think that maybe the PTR was played on a older game mode to avoid stuff being data-mined?? Just curious if they would do that to avoid any more leaks. -_-

Blizzard will say that they want to buff everything to barbarian while nerfing every other class into irrelevance while continuously buffing barbs best build to absolutely nonsensical degrees they don't give a fuck about other classes because every casual just plays barbarian blizzard will nerf you into nothing and they don't give a shit that you're complaining

Thanks Wudi

1:44 is actually incorrect. Mindcages are going as they are Seasonal. Helltide was only fun while running those. If they don't increase Helltide to match with those potions or some alternative, Helltide is just going to be boring for me. That is a significant thing as it limits what endgame options are viable and fun... and there aren't many as it is. However if they give an alternative, it "might" be ok. but still incorrect statement of a very significant part of the endgame

Bummer about no comments on the Sorc paragon nerfs for burning damage which weren't even OP so now builds like Incernate are actually worse by 40% compared to S4 for no reason. They actually made sorcs WORSE. Also didn't touch on the new Hydra stuff which they still feel super weak, especially AOE and you have to go with burning.

Rogue melee was strong for one season so they nerfed it to shit and wont bring it back?

There is ZERO build diversity in d4. ZERO. Why does EVERY Sorc use either flame or ice shield or both? Why does necro ALWAYS use corpse tendrils? Why is the druid just a lesser fun version of a barb until end game? Why does the game run so poorly compared to diablo 3? Why does the game feel slow, clunky and boring compared to d3? Why is the main focus of d4 microtransactions and dumb shit nobody wants? Why did it take 4 seasons to put pets in the game, and why are the pets LESS FUNCTIONAL in d4 than they were in d3? What about mercenaries that were in d3 that aren't in d4? Like seriously... they could have just revamped d3 with newer graphics and called it a day. Instead, someone made this atrocity of a game, and it wasn't even the full damn game. But yet they charged full fkn price for the garbage. I just get bored af when playing and want to do ANYTHING else at this point. Love the graphics, the rest is just hot trash.

it's odd season team (1,3), next season is gonna be suck trust me.

my mans with the sick glasses, looking GOOD bro

Does the rogue temper for [X]%Puncture Resource Generation also increase number of combo points generated?

i'm on console and dont have ptr. will you make season 4 videos again?

sadge in sorc. glad perma flameshield is gone never liked that build anyway. sorc really needs some love tho. keypassives being a big problem.

There is another problem that nobody is talking about - unequal paragon boards. Did you notice that some classes have terrible Paragon Boards layouts where the Legendary node is quite often on the opposite corner where the Glyph is? Barb doesn't have such terrible layouts. Give Druid, Sorc, and Necro 2H + 2x 1H which means two more Aspects, two more Gems, more offensive stats, and four more tempers.

Address item slot disparity. The best 2 classes have more slots than the bottom 3. This is not a coincidence. The disparity between the have and have nots only grew after the new gear crafting they added. The game is dead to me until this issue is addressed.

Question honestly i love the sorc have for season 3,4 knowing i am not up to par eventually but after the ptr i sadly and considering not strarting with a sorc my other fav class is the druid just the over fun of them. So do u think honestly they will (the devs) address the sorc and i am not says going over crazy making it insanly powerful just bringing it up to the level of other classes (not counting the barb i agree that to fully balance all classes the barb needs to be brought down to other classes instead of making non barb classes powered allup to the barb) whats ur opinion

Blizzard deleted the sorc class. They just didn’t tell anyone. It should be obvious to you all by now. 😂

Hi can u pls share with us the doc file "S5 PTR Notes" Thank you

Thanks for the analysis, Wudijo! I don't know why Blizzard just hates Sorc. This class is dead on arrival.

That thumbnail image, lmao.

I like that you put barb right after sorc "sorc bad at everything.. barb immortal god"

Hydra is not viable at all. There is ZERO chance to build a pure hydra build in S5. The damage is waaaay too low. Missing pierce. Missing aspects/uniques. Missing base damage. There is actual no hydra build. (No matter if there are mixed builds like frozen orb, I don't wanna play this. I will play a pure hydra ("summoner") build...)

At this point it feels like we're just waltzing, one step forward and one step back with each season.

So skip season 5 pretty much.

I was checking a text and heard you say that it didn't work on a boss and thought you were talking about sorc. It's poor design to have so much of a classes damage that only works when the boss is staggered. It's looking like the game is going to almost all damage coming from unique gear. Might be the only thing that saves sorc being able to use a generic unique in every slot. We have enough evidence to not expect any sorc specific unique to be BIS. I don't play other classes but enjoy seeing how all of them are performing. Hopefully they get closer to having class balance. I believe it is important to the life of the game. I'm hoping for a paragon board rework with the expansion. Just trying to get as many boards as possible just for glyphs isn't fun or challenging. It would be nice if you could max out a few boards and it be as good.

How does wudi see without glasses?

I love gauntlet, I don’t understand why KZfaqrs don’t show it more

The only thing i disagree about is Barbs, they are absolutely always gonna be stronger with the extra weapon/ aspect slot, same reason rogue is next most overall powerfull. We have to be honest

Barbs rule

is this file open to read ?

Im very very unhappy with both the new mechanic and the way they ignored Shred yet again, well yes base damage was buffed but it has zero multipliers and no uniques SO FAR. Im hoping for a upgraded Waxing Gibbous

If Victimize was totally bugged on PTR, how do we know if the buff of 50% is enough after the bug from S4 was fixed. There is no objective feedback possible and HS rogue might be dead when S5 starts.

As soon as I saw the Infernal Hordes I thought of Echoing Nightmares from D3. I really hope Blizzard goes the 'Hades' route. Have more than one map type and after a 'round' you go to another room with different modifiers etc. Have a visual UI (map) of climbing towards the top etc. So many opportunities to set itself apart from other arpg's and from Diablo 3 even.

I agree with everything except catacylsm gloves with Ancestral guidance. The gloves say "you have infinite resource", and not "you have zero resource cost". They seem the same but there is this big distinction of how it affects other things, infinite resource implies that resource are spent. And even "zero resource cost" would not be true, since the Crown of Lucion works with catacylsm. I guess the gloves snekakingly set resource cost to something like 0.01 spirit per cast, which is absurd because I got a rounding to zero with starless and additional resource cost reduction rolls and even the crown stopped working. The gloves should behave as their tooltip suggests. We dont need more scam tooltips. So either fix the tooltip and make the gloves not work with Crown of Lucion (true 0 cost), of fix the behavior and treat the spirit as spent and make it work with Ancestral Guidance. Things that work by random chance with other effects or stop working with a selection of other rolls on gear or don't work at all when expected to work are not good for the game.

I usually agree with Wudi on most things but deleting Barbarian Protection is just ridiculous. Without this Barb will be a glass cannon and unplayable in the Pit 🤨. That's like asking to remove Dark Shroud from Rogues.

good to hear nothing changed kekw

@wudijo damn that idea about an endless mode, i am a HUGE fan of games like vampire survivors and all the genre, and an even bigger fan of D4 ... if such a mode were to come to D4, that would make my whole year !!!!

How can we even make one of these when there was verh little testing and most things were broken PLUS everything wasnt even available in the ptr.

Do you still wear those GMG Glasses?

For Windforce, how about "after piercing enemies, projectiles will come back and hit enemy for 1 more time and explodes with x% damage". Imagine the sprays at the end will come back like homing missiles back to enemy packs/bosses.

With all the respect but I’m wondering how many players are still playing in Eternal mode? Don’t understand me wrong, I know that are a few players who play there but.. it’s still making sense? 😕

Would be nice if they added a leech aspect, node or glyph to open up different build types all around for classes.

First off thanks for your Content I think you and other content creators do a lot of good for the game and it progress ! Couldn’t disagree more how everyone thinks barbs are way too OP. I think they needs some adjustments. But they aren’t anything like season one most of their builds have been nerfed which why we see the basic skill build This season Sorcs have been able to go immortal almost every season and any barb playing immortal Won’t get far in the pit due to lack of damage . If they were that strong every barb build would over perform above the rest or atleast more than 1-2 Basic skill builds Take away gushing wounds and barb drop down 3 tiers. Get rid of beserk ripping is like saying sorc shouldn’t be able to apply chill while using fire bolt ect.. The only really op barb build is a basic skill build that will surely get nerfed. The extra two weapons helps but also another way to keep barbs unique… Just like every other class has unique attributes other classes also have benefits barbs don’t like multiple skills that grant immune or stealth ect.. After flat gets gets nerfed and gushing wounds gets capped barbs will drop drastically Their core skills have been nerfed so much there aren’t even core Skill builds Which should be builds For every class.. I’m all for a Flay nerf but but most arguements against barb can be said about almost any other char. Every season besides 1 Barbs were not said to top class at beginning of season.. Was rogue then sorc then this season. Just like sorc having one build getting 160 pit but doesn’t mean nerf sorc just fix that build and buff the other core skills ect.. To balance the class. Flay will be nerfed since it has been barb top build in season 4 and will Prob be so Much so that even with tempers will not be a top performing build. Don’t want to get where barb ends up where druid was this last season and create a new problem trying to fix one

Make Windforce Great Again

Also arrow storm should scalw ofd ulti damage or make the word of hakan also work with arrow storm not just the ulti

Hopefully they break the curse of odd number season

What about victimize?

IMO Crowd Control needs a rework. My idea would be to simply have crowd control be a debuff. This debuff is always applied, unstoppable or not, boss or not. The effect of the debuff (slow, freeze etc.) will not apply to bosses/unstoppables, but your damage to crowd control/frozen/stunned/ etc. and any effects such as that read whether the debuff is there, not whether the enemy is actually crowd controlled. So your damage will just work whether the enemy is unstoppable or not and whether the boss is staggered or not. Sure, this might need some rebalancing but the current concepts is just not fun gameplay. Especially in higher pits. If you are a CC based build, you only do damage when the boss is staggered and after 3 staggers, staggering the boss takes an eternity. In my opinion, the fact that you can't CC an enemy that has become unstoppable is "punishing" enough. No need to also nerf the damage. The point of CC is a tool for survivability and possibly a tool for grouping up enemies. Not dealing more damage to them. Just staggering a boss is also enough of a reward. All mechanics stop happening and you get to focus fully on defense. No need to also be dealing 50x the damage. Simply by being staggered this is already helping with damage and with your survivability and is plenty reason to consider a CC build over a non-CC build.

Hydra and Fireball should have innate burning. Hydra should have a T3 upgrade for single target damage and one for AoE or piercing. Fireball enchantment should cause explosions on hit on boss. That should allow us to finally drop the terrible firebolt enchantment (and pave the way for better enchantments after a rework of the DOA ones).

i hadent played since pre season 1. i came back during season 4 and ive been having fun. i have 2 lvl 100's and i cant wait for season 5 to keep up the fun.

For your suggestion for the horde mode. They ain't going to implement any of your suggestion. D4 odd team devs are complete trash and needs to be fired or replaced. They have no creativity, no imagination, and don't actually play any games. They look at hades, vampire slayers, or roguelites and don't understand any of it. They just think, oh, like 5% extra reward, so good. Then they pat themselves on the back and think they are good devs. Honestly the odd team is some of the worst trash devs I've ever seen.

Summary of PTR for season 5 shows Diablo 3 season 32 looks much more interesting.

~devouring blaze needs a nerf~??? Wodi i get it that sorc is not your main, but if this skill needs something that is a huge buff! It provides 7-10% /per rank you crit dmg when attacking burning mobs. crit dmg amount is as it was before itemization and i do think that it needs to be buffed at least up to 12%-15%/per rank!

I really feel they need to take a step back, make all the default skills viable, without items and then start finessing items. Blizzard on it's own is a prime example of a skill that just needs a rework.

I kind of hope they give other classes one extra offensive slot to catch up with the barb (maybe just a 1h equivalent)

Nerf Barbs!

based on the videos i have watched from you and rax I am skipping season 5 at a minimum. The small changes between seasons seem to fail to fix core issues with class disparity and lack anything fun to do at end game. I heard many positive things about path of exiles from you guys so I plan to invest my time there and see how that goes instead. I hope they invest more in making D4 more robust and having more to do that feels rewarding in the end game.

I have no hope they will bother fixing sorcerers. I refuse to put any more money in blizzards coffers. Uninstall looking like the best course of action. Tired of waiting for options or even a single viable option for sorcerer

LOL Barb is dead now for s5 if the rumors are true... A shame that they did not bring the other classes up instead if nerfing (killing the fun)

The Uber version could possibly grant a key for resetting 3 GA item tempers

Please cap the damage numbers. please reduce the damage numbers by 90% and balance the classes. At this stage i do not think season 5 has enough to hold me playing.

I feel like all the burning builds are pretty mid overall as an archetype and honestly it seems to be dots as a whole. Bleed, burn, and poison. And I'm talking about pure damage over time and not the effects that tuen dots into burst

Where are the midcages?

Blizzard needs to make items available for extensive testing. All items should be available through a free vendor so that people can get everything together and test the game. Why should people have to grind the PTR so that they can test things?

Give sorcs a third enchantment slot. And fix them so they don't all suck more or less. Then, give sorcs and allso necroes a third weapon slot. Easy

The reason why they need to make uniques more powerful is due to the existence of tempering. If its not powerful enough then every class is pretty much going to go leg + aspect + tempers everytime over uniques. The good thing about uniques now is that youre not subject to the awful weighted scaling off tempering and enchanting.

Why they only buff ranged rouge they ignore melee

I'm not sure I agree that the Necro nerfs were "deserved" in any way, Necro was the 4th best class in terms of pushing the pit, and shadow builds in particular weren't even that good, Ebonpiercer was the best one but was still worse than Summoner and Bone Spirit. The issue with Blighted aspect was that we were using it on the summoner build, so how about this, rather than giving us 120% global damage multiplier, just give us 120% multiplier to darkness skills. That way shadow gets to keep its identity as a ramping damage archetype while focusing Blighted aspect to what I'm sure was its intended purpose. What they've done now is make it so Blighted aspect will never be used again on any build, and the Shadowblight key passive will never be taken even on shadow builds

Wudi, I enjoy your content, great recap! Hope the Devs listen.

They need to buff pulverize properly in my opinion and some how get it to where it's better on bosses.

If only infernal hordes was made like halls of torment and the unlocks are part of the compasses, that would be awesome!

Hydra needs % damage like when it was bugged and the fireball passive baseline and it's a fun / viable skill then. It's a shame as they did Hydra so well in d3.

Need massive rebalancing or I’m skipping this season.

They should just let crackling energy do its damage etc where it spawns in stead of picking it up and having a max amount. that way they are more useful.

Imagine the doom, if this season was coming out without a PTR.. holy! It's the most broken season yet and I don't even know why.. they were doing fine and suddenly their game is burning out of nowhere. They must be really going under huge stress to fix stuff till launch

41:10 sure i can understand the blight aspect nerf but like the minion passive is literally a glorified temper manual they gotta rework some stuff since its just well wtf only attack speed How about this Minion attack speed I gain 1 more mage 2 more warriors 1 more golem And they scale with intelligence and if to much diminishing return so you have a choice

The arena mode. Atleast should give u alot of gold. A 15 min run should de atleast 10-15 mil

Don't tell Blizzard to nerf other classes down to the same level as Druid. Druids need to be buffed. We want to have FUN. Remember when gaming was about having FUN?

People complaining about barb being too strong are the same people complaining that barb was too weak in D2 and D3

buff shred

I really hate the new scoudrels kiss. Hate how it makes it an arc, its a nerf in some sense because if an enemy is running at you, sometimes it just misses and for console users where you cant aim and skill shot this, its a big problem. The other issue is that in narrow doorways, the shots will just hit the top of the doorway and just flat out miss. They need to scrap the arc mechanic entirely and just make it an explosion on impact.

Your suggestion for endless mode is literally from Diablo Immortal warband castle defense ROFL
