I think I am done with Diablo 3 (NT Nerf)

[I-bring-realm-down]

Seriously...I finally got my DH to Act2 inferno, getting shat on with 63k life and 35k dps, now they go and nerf NT to hit only one target? Really? I am getting TL2 or GW2 and selling my D3 account. I am sick of blizzard making this game more like WoW. If I wanted to play WoW I would have bought WoW.

Also, now the ias nerf? I have a 900+ dps and an 800dps hand x-bow and we cannot even kill belial in inferno with 2 barbs after about 10 attempts. Now they force us into using bows? Why don;t they buff classes like the WD or something instead of hurting the only class that "feels" like a real class?

Done as of release of TL2/GW2. Later Activision, you lost my business forever.

source please?

It is all over the official forums. NT only hits once. This is the second huge nerf to DH. Welcome to World of Diablocraft.

It had to happen. I dont see why we should cry over a skill that was clearly not working as intended being nerfed.
That said I have no idea what my lvl 60 HC DH is going to play with in order to survive.

How is it not working as intended? I mean, why have a beta test if you are just going to make major changes like ias etc? These guy have no clue what they are doing and it shows because they had to scrap it and start over in 2006. Meanwhile, the guys who made Diablo1/2 are forced to watch how they make their game so they do not get sued.

Going to try out TL2 when it comes out. For $20 you will get a game made by the guys who know how to make a diablo game. Blizzard sold out to Activision and is no longer the company it was.

lol, emo rage moar?
the multiple hits was definitely not designed to work that way. it was pretty obvious.
as for beta tests, I agree that they should have beta tested more, but keep in mind that the beta test was only up to lvl 13. There was no wide scale beta testing besides that.
If beta tests would always fix the major bugs, no games/software/hardware need to have major revisions unless significant new features were added.

Emo rage less, and learn to play in another way imo.

Sorry you suck at the game and can't handle playing it without overpowered affixes and abilities. But seriously, you suck. We do WAY too much DPS with good gear, and NT only made it worse. Maybe someone will come up with something better, or close to it? Or maybe you could actually PLAY the game and have fun with it. All of the changes are great for the game and PVP in the long run. Oh wait, I forgot you suck at the game and could never enjoy the idea of balance and competitiveness.

1) The beta wasn't about gameplay balance; it was about server stability and basic bug squashing. If they wanted to balance the game they would have let us get further than level 13. Granted, they sucked at server stressing too, but that's another point that you're not making.

2) No mater how long a game stays in development and testing, it is NEVER balanced from the get go. I challenge you to find a single multi-player game that was perfectly balanced at release. Any game that is continuously supported by its developer post release WILL have balance changes. Your complaints amount to nothing but petty whining.

Both the IAS nerf and the NT nerf was absolutely needed. You had prior notice about the IAS nerf long ago and should have acted accordingly. In regards to the NT nerf, while i think it was needed i don't agree with the way they went about it. The way they nerfed nether practically made it useless as there really is no situation that would make it more useful than any of the other elemental runes. But just because Nether is no longer useful doesn't make the DH worthless. We are more than 1 skill rune. Adapt accordingly.

Well put sir! It amazes me how people get accustomed to one build and get all happy go lucky with it knowing that it's simply overpowered. And to that WoW comment, I resent that. As 6 Year WoW vet, I can tell, you know nothing of the game. Unlike WoW, Diablo3 devs are actually pushing for spec diversity. If you knew anything about WoW you'd know that many classes had to run the same spec, otherwise you're doomed to sit on the bench during raids because your DPS sucked or your healing/sec sucked.

All in all, I play a DH as well, and like many, I bolstered NT to the max; but I knew this nerf was eminent. C'mon really? double hit hidden passive? PFFT Like blizzard would let that slide. And It's interesting how people get mad at this, have you realized that Inferno also got nerfed? <,< and itemization seems better fit than before. Sigh people just neglect the good, and focus on the bad.
