Diablo 4 players can’t stand teaming up with “annoying” Season 2 build

Diablo 4 Ball Lightning Sorcerer

Diablo 4 is no stranger to some busted builds but one in particular is becoming a bit of a pariah. Players say it’s ruining Legion Events, bosses, and more.

Diablo 4 is experiencing a bit of a renaissance thanks to its incredibly well-received Season of Blood. The changes made during the Season’s initial update have fans of the title “rooting” for Blizzard.

Players have praised Season of Blood for injecting more fun into Diablo 4, particularly because of its new Blood Harvest events. Thankfully, Blizzard has made a solemn vow not to “nerf the fun”.

That could be a problem for some though as these lack of nerfs appear to be cutting in on the fun for certain players. When Reddit user u/SupportedGamer revealed that their friends weren’t happy to play alongside their Ball Lightning Sorcerer, many others expressed similar sentiments.

You might recognize the Ball Lightning Sorcerer from an insanely fast Uber Lilith takedown or a serious debate about whether to nerf it. This build melts through even the toughest Diablo 4 challenges and that is the root of the problem.

“My friends said they basically aren’t having any fun anymore because their whole screen is lightning and they are always just trying to catch up to me,” the player explained. Other users were quick to concur.

“I don’t even bother to attack shit during Legions when I see a Ball Lightning Sorc show up,” one player said in response. “I grouped up with a level 100 to do some Uber bosses and they all died instantly.”

“It was neat at first but it got annoying not being able to do anything during group activities,” another admitted. Other players instead took this as their cue to convert to the all-powerful Ball Lightning Sorcerer.

It seems that this S-tier Sorcerer build won’t win you any friends. Even if you can carry a World Boss or a Nightmare Dungeon.
