Diablo 4 players worried Chain Lightning Sorcerer changes will be \u201cDOA\u201d Blizzard EntertainmentImpressions from the Season 5 PTR have Diablo 4 players convinced the Chain Lightning Sorcerer changes will be \u201cDOA\u201d \u2013 dead on arrival. For months, Sorcerer players in Diablo 4 have lamented the class\u2019 lack of meaningful buffs in balance updates. Patch notes for the Season 5 PTR didn\u2019t alleviate these woes, though many hoped that the addition of the Chain Lightning-centric Axial Conduit pants would help. After all, the Unique item promises massive amounts of Lightning damage after a bolt explodes under certain circumstances. But impressions from players participating in the PTR have some Sorc mains convinced the upcoming changes will feel dead on arrival. Diablo 4 content creator Lurkin shared their thoughts on the Axial Conduit pants in a video labeled, \u201cMy disappointment is immeasurable.\u201d According to the YouTuber, players should anticipate a new \u201cSorc struggle\u201d because the pants\u2019 primary source of damage output comes from Andariel\u2019s Visage. \u201cIf you take off Andariel\u2019s, you really feel the struggle. The damage is not scaling well,\u201d they wrote in the video description. Diablo 4 players on Reddit are similarly unimpressed with the PTR\u2019s Chain Lightning Sorcerer build. In a thread citing the Lurkin footage, one person remarked, \u201cNew Chain Lightning unique DOA. Blizzard, please, actually and meaningfully buff Sorc.\u201d Redditor Tesdey echoed the sentiments shared by the YouTuber, saying the Axial Conduit Unique is just \u201cokay\u201d and too dependent on Andariel\u2019s Visage. Apparently, the pants suffer from a bug, too, with one issue cropping up because the Chain Lightning \u201cyou invoke extra chance with isn\u2019t rotating around the character.\u201d Blizzard took feedback from the Season 4 PTR and vastly improved the experience in time for the season\u2019s full release. As such, Season 5\u2019s Chain Lightning Sorcerer may benefit from the same iterative process. For now, though, Sorc players remain skeptical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
