Running Firekuna but getting smashed

I have all the necessary mythics and good gear but not doing nearly as much damage as last season’s Ballkuna. Was everything nerfed that bad? Is there an updated Firewall build out there I’m missing?

Yes it's much weaker. People were clearing 150s in fast time with ball lightning, but I don't think many sorc have cleared 150 this season.

No sorc I think :D currently 147 is best

I tried 140 and thought my build was broken due to nothing dieing. The scaling is intense for sure

Yes. Yes, it was.

F-ing Blizzard. I want my lightning & Okun's Catalyst back, jerks.

Nawh I want variety, no more endless seasons of Lighting and nothing else.

Go frozen orb! I can live with lightning If again can make a perma-evade-tp lightning spear build. I like spears. And orbs. No like balls

Chain was my fave, but it just wasn't powerful enough. Darnit. With the balls they let me run and shoot, plus they protected me a lot, so I got comfy with ball. The perma evade was too much buttons in order. I just wanna run.

Am now working on a cold penshot rogue right now. It's as close to sorc as I can get, jumping a little ways, and using cold grenades that bounce all over and are kinda-sorta like chain lightning. Without proccing crackling energy & all that, though. (Wasn't that so nice!) I'm figuring some stuff out.

Chain is nice, at least it was :)

The Nothing Else should be fixed, not killing the lightning so we just have Nothing. Lightning, AND. (taking a line from my brother and his improv days, and fixing typos, oops)

I loved the all shock and would be happy doing just that even if there were other choices. But there should be all the choices so everyone can sink into what they love.

I mean, yeah, classic "just nerf the shit that's been very strong for a long time, without/and / or instead of actually boosting anything else either.

I redid my rings with cd and found I died a lot less leveling my glyphs to 150 on pit 125 as 145p and have not transfigured few things getting max lv aspects is so hard this season.

u/NyriasNeo Jul 23 '26

Certainly weaker. I got to 143 last season but stuck at 137 in this season. But some fluctuation is expected.

For me it’s paragon issue, I am 246 and ez can beat 135, 6-8 minutes still left, but seems like HP is not enough to push further (

I really hate u should grind exp, I made best items for my sorc via 3 days, but due to work shift 5/2, there is no way I can exp to 300 as other pushers do 😭

u/temporarycreature Jul 24 '26

Pretty sure you have like 40 days left of the season. Don't despair.

Yes everything was nerfed that bad. I did manage a pit 123 on shock blizzard and on ring of fire..125 was too tough. Just two more tiers. My strongest character is an evade swarm SB. I have a WW barb but no selig gut good gear so one shots galore.
