Druids dealing billions of damageRob2628's Barbarianundecillion Critical StrikesPC GamerThis behavior is unintentional. The team is looking at changing it in the near future in order to improve the balance.Moxsy's Lightning Shred Druid 2.0Forbes articleJoe ShelyUnlike the past mid-season patch which was 99% buffs, there will indeed be nerfs coming with the seasonal start here. Shely didn’t get into specifics, but gave a familiar “we have to nerf some things some times we can’t always buff all other things” answer that most games like this have to address at some point.

Comment by DreadfuryDKWhatever shall the Shred Druids do now that they can only hit for dozens of millions instead of dozens of quadrillions?Comment by ZephnJust hope they don't forget to buff all the turbo bad skills that you would essentially never consider playing once you hit lvl 50.Comment by FrackNRedthis is not excessive damage 1 billion damage to bosses with trillions of health point is a decent amount to have. the rob one is a bit much.Comment by HardmutCan't wait for the good old Blizzard nerf nuke while they buff absolute trash abilities and builds by 1-2% and wonder why nobody keeps choosing those skills.Comment by hdfluxthis is not excessive damage 1 billion damage to bosses with trillions of health point is a decent amount to have. the rob one is a bit much.Comment by WildwalkAh yes, Shred Druids are just so absolutely broken, Not like they require at least 3 uniques and a dozen legendary effects to work or anything. Not to mention perfect stats including + crit damage and +Vun damage.Comment by TruocAh yes, Shred Druids are just so absolutely broken, Not like they require at least 3 uniques and a dozen legendary effects to work or anything.

Just gotta hope they're not dumb enough to nerf sorc again...Comment by apedosmilSomeone correct me, but isn't the shred build a farm spec? Doesn't it require keeping up buffs from small mob deaths. Billions of damage, but you're doing low level nightmare dungeons.Comment by ItsversayceI'm sure there will be a big Sorc nerf in this patch just for funsies!Comment by charca958Someone correct me, but isn't the shred build a farm spec? Doesn't it require keeping up buffs from small mob deaths. Billions of damage, but you're doing low level nightmare dungeons.Comment by JaiieFrom what I watched in the videos, yes. You have to, i believe, just keep going from enemy to enemy to get and keep the buffs up, and then have the stars align with random buffs to attain such high damageComment by theRealGankeddI just really really hope they don't nerf Pulverize when they nerf this Shred build.Comment by AphelionZeroI hope the patch before season one isn't one of those classic Blizzard heavy handed nerf bombs where we see things like "All damaging abilities reduced by 45%" coupled with things like "All enemy health and resistances increased by 200%". I realize hitting monsters for millions of damage is unintended and should be rectified, but a lot of abilities need serious buffs. Not to mention things like resistances need to actually do something.Comment by selkiesidhehere's to hoping blizz doesn't do what blizz usually does with wow--- take a swing at one spec, yet maul the entire class instead...
