Players called for these classes to get survival buffs, and Blizzard was listening. The post also discusses how iterations work for the game - how many changes don’t make the PTR because their problems get caught beforehand, how some specs got buffed based on player calls like Barbarians and Witch Doctors, and so forth. This is a hugely important goal to keep Diablo 3 fun and playable, because after a while, if you can’t maintain the same pace as the rest of your group, it really stops being fun. At least a couple of specs per class should be able to deal with the heavy mob density and chaos of a GR, especially when pushing with a group. The second and equally important goal is to make endgame more fluid for as many as possible. If you’re pushing GR’s, you should be able to pick between a potential WW build, a potential Seismic Slam build, and a potential Hammer of the Ancients build, but not necessarily all possible builds. The goal is to at least have some variety, to be able to pick between a few options for endgame. While not all specs can be viable for pushing Greater Rifts, that’s not the goal - the goal isn’t now and hasn’t ever been parity for every possible spec. The first thing to discuss is that they’re going for an attempt to make more specs relevant and playable at higher endgame content. And for this Barbarian player - and also for my Monk and Crusader - it’s welcome news. The latest Developer Chronicle from Blizzard goes into detail on exactly what the goals for the upcoming patch are and why Blizzard’s going to make the changes it is to various classes and specs. Nor did I really want to give up WW - it’s my favorite build, I love twirling through hosts of mobs.Īnd now, thanks to patch 2.6.1, I won’t have to. My entire gear kit is built around it, and I wasn’t looking forward to hovering endlessly at the same difficulty level until I got enough Immortal King gear to switch to a Seismic Slam/Boon of Bul-Kathos Ancients build. Still, I have noticed that my favorite build - Wrath of the Berserker/Whirlwind Barb - has been a touch weaker as I’ve climbed up the Greater Rift difficulty. Even, so I’m closing in on Paragon 500 on my Seasonal Barbarian and greatly enjoying twirling my way through Greater Rifts. The most recent Season utterly grabbed my attention, and only Shadows of Argus managed to even slow me down. Okay, it’s no secret I’ve been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately.
