Nerf lightning already

I respect this is coming from a Wizard main. A lot of Wizard mains are trying to downplay the obvious unbalancing. It has a permanent stagger and with the book you get 6 charges.

It’s so damn annoying that it has a stagger, because if you’re a barb and you catch him he staggers your swing and then teleports away

Yeah. I just don’t know what they were thinking, on PC whatever class the Wizard counters usually had ways to mitigate the cons

For example, the Wizard counters the Barbarian in DnD, but you had options to help deal with it. Throwing axes were an item you could buy and throw whenever you wanted, and you had a passive ability that added magic resistance.

In this version, they turned throwing axes into a weapon ability with an incredibly onerous cooldown, then removed the Barbarian’s magic resistance perk. Thw result is that you just get demolishd, even if you try to mitigate the situation.

Classes should be able to counter others, but it shouldn’t be so bad that you can’t skillfully work around it. Like, come on.

I’m not here to say what classes should or shouldn’t do. I’m just saying nerf lightning bc it’s breaking the game. I’d actually prefer if wiz stays a solo hero

Me neither. I’m just giving an example of how, even when you play a class to its full potential and use every bit of skill available, it’s still not enough. That was the point of my comment
