"Diablo 4" Mage Electric Spear Causes Server Card, Blizzard "Forced" to Weak

As a highly anticipated action RPG, Diablo 4 recently introduced a powerful spell build called "Instant Spell Build," but it has had a significant impact on game servers.

A community manager on Blizzard's official forum explained that the combination of split energy and the Cracking Winter Mirror Charm would cause a large number of spells to be cast at the same time, resulting in server cards. To solve this problem, officials adjusted the frequency of spell firing and damage compensation.

Although officials tried to balance this change by increasing the damage of the Lightning Spear, the decrease in the number of enemies hit actually weakened the build for difficult modes that require speed and efficiency.

According to Mekuna, the player who set the record for the fastest single-player dungeon clearance using the build, he lost more than 50% of his damage after weakening. While he acknowledges that the cards did decrease, he is still unhappy with the weakening, saying that the time required to clear the level has increased from 2-3 minutes to 7 minutes. However, he also pointed out that if the player does not brush the deep dungeon, the weakening should be less obvious.
