Blizzard, high CD ultimates that are buffing your character need to go

Haven’t you learned your lesson from D3?

WoTB or Archon form, anyone? The moment you introduce a high-cooldown ultimate that adds damage, attack speed, damage reduction, or similar bonuses, the result is always the same - it becomes mandatory for every build, and players stack cooldown reduction around it.

Looking at you, Unstable Currents.

That is one of the main reasons Lightning Sorcerers are so strong, while other Sorcerer builds struggle to deal comparable damage without it. Oh there is an Ice Shards S tier build now? Not really. It is essentially a Lightning Ice Shards build because it still relies on Unstable Currents.

Unstable Currents needs either a serious nerf or a full rework. I do not think “forms” of any kind that provide attack speed, damage, and damage reduction or any other bonuses are healthy for build variety.

A bonus reason other builds struggle is that you put core uniques in the helm slot, where they have to compete with Heir and Shako.

Another undocumented change in last patch

one of my favourite nodes in NM dungeons, I am pretty sure it was 30 before and I thought thats too much and no way youre getting that without escalating dungeon (if it even counts as a one dungeon and not separate)

well now its 20 so good change

P.S: but now that I read it again, its says across nightmare dungeons so it stacks with previous dungeons I guess ?

I present to you Magnet Shatter - frozen exploding enemies being pulled to you

Was trying to recreate the OG build from D4 vanilla, the good old days where Ice shard was actually viable. Back then you pulled packs of enemies with Raiment, hit frost nova and the ice shard enchantment did the rest for you.

This is by far the most enjoyable build I ever played in D4 BUT its not very end-game viable as you can see this is only T11. Can be pushed to T12 however the problem are elites that cant be frozen or bosses. It takes a lot time to get them down because the damage relies on enemies being frozen.

I dont really have glyph lvled out in this video so I can definetely squeeze out more. Maybe if I switched to Blizzard I would be able to take on bossess but I dont find that as enjoyable as iceshards automatically splintering from you.

I mostly just stand and dont hit buttons as the enemies are freezed automatically and killed automatically as well by ice shard enchantment with combo from Azurewrath.

Again, I am sad Blizzard is not doing anything to make builds like this more viable against bosses.

This material is unproportionally rare to what it can do

I always have like 10 max ? Then I use like 3 or 4 and after hours of farming I may try again and I still have like 8 or 10.

Its incredibly rare for what it does, which is basically turns your white into shitty unique 99% of the time. I guess it guarantees that its Ancestral and thats everything pretty much. You still dont know which uniqeu youre gonna get and you still are not guaranteed what stats youre gonna get and for this the drop rate is abysmal and I find it lackluster.

It either needs to guarantee GA, or needs to have increased chance of rolling GA or just let us choose what unique it crafts.

Music in Lord of Hatred is out of this world, if there was an oscar for game OST they can just throw it at this game

There is like 2:30h worth of music for this Expansion, it is very sad that I dont get to hear it again unless I play campaign. Only time I can hear is in menu, Temis or when I walk through the regions itself which lets be honest is usually only during Helltides.

Blizzard, please consider adding those music into Pits, NM dungeons, or even Infernal Hordes

I know that those soothing tracks with vocals wont fit the zoom zoom in Pit while you mow down hordes of demons but here are plenty fast paced fighting music with drums and I even heard some synth thrown in there which reminded me of Dune.

Blizzard triggering from Tal Rasha set triggers vulnerable when Blizzard is not selected on any button but it doesnt trigger barrier. Only if Blizzard skill itself is selected on one of the skill butotns.

Not sure if intended when vulnerable triggers and barrier does not.

As you can see on the video, if you combine the Onyx Soul and Overpower stacks which makes the Fire orb explode, it travels only short path before its returned to you immediately, essentialy making it a meele build. I dont think thats intended

Also, if you choose the side bonus that makes it last 1 more second, it completely ignores the Onyx unique and doesnt return

I seriously hope this is an oversight. I was looking forward to recolor the runes text so its the same as in Diablo 2 and I just found out I can recolor pretty much anything but runes.
