Let's Talk about Lightning Spear

So... I'm sure anyone here know how this skill is kinda really good at what it does: Insta clear the whole screen. GGG seems to have decided to not touch it for now - because everyone was crying blood tears over thing that was overly nerf previously or because they stick to the "We will not nerf during a current season" - BUT I also think everyone is aware that it will be nerf at some point, right ? And based on their previous one, the chance of this being gutted is really high.

Anyway, all that being said, I genuinely wonder if players will use this baseline of clear speed (like some already does currently) to determine if a build is good or not. I think it's really dangereous as it make expectation way too high if GGG really want a "slower" gameplay.

So, do you think the inaction of GGG (about nerfing the interaction with Volt) is detrimental in the long game ? Or are you fine with this and expect that others build will someday reach this level of power ?

Please keep it civil. :)

Yes, If they need to make changes to league it has to be within the first couple of days. Instead of nerfing it they should be activly buffing other skills, it just shows people want full screen clear for trash.

I dont want to press 5 buttons to kill a rare that drops 0 items, save the button mashing for bosses if they really want meaningfull combat.

This is just LE season 2 waiting room for alot of people

Every incoming league with new class, GGG will make the class be OP since they need the data of time played on the new class, it will be the same when Druid comes out, it will have an op build that GGG will let slide for data collecting.

I believe only when all the class is introduced, then we will know the full classes power difference. Just a feeling that whatever a class is lacking now is due to it missing some passive points stats from a full and completed tree. For now, we are 5 classes short and few passive nodes and assendacy missing.

GGG will adjust just enough for the season league so it is playable and continue to do so untill everything is fully released. I expect all classes to be totally different in term of build with the completed option being available

Also after what happen after early 0.2.0, i dont think there will be another round of extreme changes, they will do it again on next league when introducing new class

Yeah i think its genereally a good idea to not nerf them. As you say the need data and alot of ppl playing new classes to get good breakdowns. Anyways this is nowhere near spark in last league. While LS can clear trash very fast it really isnt very fast on high tier rares and bosses. There you have many other classes that are better. Also Warrior have a few builds that can clear trash just as fast and have more mobility.

My genereal take on this is that it is better to buff others unless something is completely bonkers broken and oneshot pinnacle bosses etc.
