Diablo 4 players want DPS meter but with a catch Blizzard EntertainmentPlayers think a DPS meter could work wonders for Diablo 4, but only if it were implemented in a limited capacity. DPS meters typically act as informational tools that help assess various factors when dealing damage. No such feature is available in Diablo 4, but it would likely display stats tied to a character\u2019s attacks and skills. With this in mind, some players have called for Blizzard to introduce the tool to D4, thinking it beneficial for testing builds, min\/maxing character stats, and so on. A Reddit user posed the idea in a thread where they shared their mock-up of how a DPS meter might look in Diablo 4. While the original poster questioned how the functionality would hurt or help dungeon runs with friends, several people argued a DPS meter should only be available during solo play. The concern is that toxicity would become rampant among \u201celitists.\u201d One person said it\u2019d be great for individual players but a \u201ccancer for groups,\u201d to which someone else replied, \u201cThis is exactly right. It would turn into a s*** fest in group play.\u201d Such concerns take into consideration builds where one class is significantly more powerful than another, something D4 is no stranger to given the overpowered Barbarian builds that dominated Season 3. Others said they\u2019d happily accept a Diablo 4 DPS meter, but only if it were exclusively available via the Training Dummy. \u201cNot during any content but against training dummy,\u201d reads one such reply. Someone else noted they wouldn\u2019t worry about toxicity since D4\u2019s social features have regressed from D3, saying \u201cA solo training dummy that tells you your builds dps would be perfect, though.\u201d Talk of a DPS meter in Diablo 4 surfaces every once in a while, yet Blizzard remains quiet on the matter. The studio has said it\u2019s open to reworking more systems after the Season 4 itemization changes, so big changes to the formula like this are still a possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
