After a blazing arrival, Diablo 4 ran out of steam after fans realized the lack of features and content to keep the grind alive. Season 1 arrived, yet it left much to be desired amongst the player base, as it was dubbed \u201cfiller content\u201d by many. Season 2 of Diablo has arrived, and the feedback has been majorly positive. Blizzard seems to have hit the mark with the new quality-of-life updates and has seemingly set a strong foundation for the future. One of the biggest changes in Season 2 came to the Sorcerer class, as the maligned class was dubbed a meme on launch. Fast forward to the present, and fans have wondered if the changes went too far. New \u201cOP\u201d Sorcerer build divides Diablo 4 fans As mentioned, the Sorcerer class underwhelmed much of the player base when Diablo 4 released, a sentiment that didn\u2019t improve after a wave of nerfs. However, Season 2\u2019s Vampiric powers have allowed for the Sorcerer\u2019s Ball Lighting build to do some serious damage. It\u2019s at the point where players are calling for nerfs Lilith can be a tanky boss that\u2019s fairly hard to deal with for players whose gear isn\u2019t up to snuff, but this player shredded her in a matter of seconds. None of her stages stood a chance, and they essentially took this boss and tossed her in a blender. The ability to solo her so quickly has certainly raised some eyebrows in the community, with players divided on whether this build needs nerfs in a Reddit post showcasing the build\u2019s strength. \u201cThere\u2019s nerfing something because something is fun, and then there\u2019s nerfing something when it\u2019s absolutely broken and trivializes the whole game, which is this. Should be fixed and brought to other classes\u2019 level.\u201d Another commented, \u201cAnd people enjoy that? I hate when things are handed to me.\u201d Despite the cries for nerfs, a majority of the player base defended these changes. One player summarized it perfectly \u201cThe one time sorc is strong everyone wants it nerf. This is no different than necro or rogue or Druid one shotting uber Lilith. Anyways the fun is having a broken builds. It\u2019s not a competitive game.\u201d While players\u2019 are divided on whether this build needs nerfs, the argument that it\u2019s so good that it edges other builds and classes out of viability holds water. Nothing on Sorcerer has been discovered that holds up to the Ball Lighting build\u2019s DPS like this. At least, not yet. It remains to be seen if the developers try to balance this build out, or if they\u2019ll wait until next Season and change their approach to the Seasonal powers that have made this build so strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 4 players divided on whether \u201cOP\u201d Ball Lighting Sorc build needs nerfs Blizzard EntertainmentAfter demanding buffs to the Sorcerer class, it seems the magical entity has finally found its place in Season 2, dividing Diablo 4 players.
