There used to be strategy and tactics. Players would figure out inventive ways to complete quests. We don't do that anymore. Creative solutions get you banned, and quests are boxes of mobs connected by straight lines, with invisible walls that drop after the box of mobs is dead.

DC casters are not viable because the devs don't even know what game they're designing. They saw "DC", and thought it was something for the Infinite Crisis team. Can you dispel an epic ward? WGAF. You're out of mana, and one-shotted before you could get in the tenth or eleventh debuff. Meanwhile, a fucking bard just assassinated the rest of the mobs, and a barbarian flew into a healing rage.

Haven't touched the game since they took out the real money AH. That was its only redeeming factor.

The talk of requiring tactics, strategy and grouping to complete quests is a "get off my lawn" thing of the past. 

Everybody mocks the ease of the game, but very few players have the patience and willingness with this game to be really challenged by quest content at this point in the life cycle.

Just look at the hatred from the recent nerfs.  I'm not a fan of several of the recent changes (armor, warlocks, manyshot for example), but look at how many players got so worked up that they quit or threatened to quit because their character would no longer be able to HULK SMASH everything in their path and feel godlike and maybe need to group up to do EE or solo EH instead of being able to solo every EE in the game with no problem.

Prismatic Fucking Spray + light damage, or GTFO It's the only offensive spell out of the entire sorc/wiz spell book that I'll hard cast. Probably means it's about to be nerfed as well.

Necro/elemental damage days ended when champions arrived.

Bummer to see that he has been roped into the propaganda cycle.

He brings an interesting point about it not being the best weapon ever in end game.  I don't want to be "done with new weapons" once I have a T3 MF weapon on all my characters.  I am curious and looking forward to epic GS weapons.

But there are a lot of ways to skin that cat with GS weapons.  The Mortal Fear is basically a vorpal effect, just doing 50% health loss instead of insta-kill.  There would be ways to limit the effectiveness in smaller ways and then make GS weapons have value in others.  It is clear that players value crit range more than crit multiplier for the most part (picks are generally only used in auto-crit situations, for example), so give GS weapons proc effects that fire 15-20% of the time with sizable, but less, impact than 50% of the health bar.  Combined with other, varied, weapon effects and options like old GS had, that would be compelling.  Not necessarily any better DPS when mortal fear is factored in, but equivalent and with a higher median damage.  Or make GS weapons have affects that work on bosses.  Then you might see the Mortal Fear weapon have usefulness as a trash DPS weapon with a swap to the GS weapon for boss DPS.  This was done often in the old days when you had boss beaters (silver+good or outsider bane) and non-boss weapons. 

You may or may not agree with my specific suggestions.  Regardless, flat out saying "we just won't let it proc" in top content is a poor choice for how to handle the situation, imo. 

I agree with the goal 100% but I disagree 100% with the methodology they have chosen.  Which is my general issue with most of Turbine's mechanics/system choices these days.  I agreed with the idea of making changes to balance out issues in class/build DPS/defense, but I did disagree with their specific choices in how to accomplish that goal.

While I know that Mortal Fear is OP, I find it dumb not to be able to use it in new content.  It's a legitimate weapon, created by Turbine, that requires a lot of time investment to acquire, that is ML 28. It's not like you're trashing the entire game with it.

It's not our fault Turbine has no forethought about new weaponry, or new content. 

Might as well say Reaper mode won't allow any gear ML 25 or higher. Fucking dumb.

@no.

don't you get it, faggot?

they drop gear, classes, and what not OP so you'll buy it; then they nerf it, dumbass.

what's worse, they bait and switch.  they had a sale on WF, not all optional races mind you, WF only; then they nerfed WF on the next update.  they had a sale on challenge packs, big run on challenges specifically for the XP, then nerfed challenge XP the very next update.  they did the same shit with monks; they keep doing the same shit over and over again.  you faggots just keep falling for it like so much black cock, just knowing it doesn't love you and it's just going to bust a nut in you and to steal your xbox for crack money.
