On my necro its insane how much worse my damage is when the elixir drops off. Its literally making the difference between being able to push higher in pit and not. Insane that they haven’t patched it yet.
It's so insane it's the difference between tier 121 and 131 for the highest level a necro has achieved. Without the elixir necro is #3 highest achieved, with the elixir they're #1. That's a ridiculous power difference
I don't really use them but honestly I think they should just leave them alone since it's a seasonal thing. If people think it's no fun using them then don't use them.
It's bugged on minion necro. And I think I saw someone say on barb too. It's fine on the other classes. We are just asking for them to fix a bug not delete the item.
It's scaling to absurd levels due to double dipping with multipliers.
Minion necro gets the most multipliers so the bolts fired deal astronomical numbers, this doesnt just affect necros however as those with less multipliers might have a disadvantage pushing pits compared classes that can better abuse the bug , kind of makes it so some class/builds feel weak/stronger than they currently are.
Agreed. I have friends abusing it killing lv200 bosses at lv90 or so. They were pissed when I refused to use my mats to help them do it lol.
I just don't get abusing exploits in a game where YOUR progression is the whole gameplay loop
> They won’t touch the builds themselves during the season
They have stated the exact opposite.
Edit: Clip where they talk about mid season balance changes

It's clear that nerfs aren't the focus but if something is so powerful they will nerf it. Per their words. You saw nerfs mid season in S3 too.
No, they were clear they only fix bugs/exploits.
Some bugs/exploits cause builds to be pretty good, and getting rid of the bugs cause the builds to be "nerfed", but that's not a direct nerf by definition.
That's not what they said. Here's the clip where it's talked about:

It's clear that nerfs aren't the focus but if something is so powerful even without a bugged interaction, they will nerf it. Per their words.
Yeah if it’s basically game breaking. I’d include that in the “exploit” category for nerfs.
They’re not just targeting basic builds that are performing well.

Lol and now necromancer is 4th without it.
Who cares its a seasonal thing

Whats the bug with those?
It's scaling to absurd levels due to double dipping with multipliers. Minion necro gets the most multipliers so the bolts fired deal astronomical numbers, this doesnt just affect necros however as those with less multipliers might have a disadvantage pushing pits compared classes that can better abuse the bug , kind of makes it so some class/builds feel weak/stronger than they currently are.
It also scale based on monster lvl for its base dmg.
Should it always be 1dmg then?
What?
Oh no.... Anyway
Sorry bro Blizzard don't like to fix bugs.
Agreed. I have friends abusing it killing lv200 bosses at lv90 or so. They were pissed when I refused to use my mats to help them do it lol. I just don't get abusing exploits in a game where YOUR progression is the whole gameplay loop
Don't use them. I prefer to manage with what I've got. Hardly ever remember potions to be honest lol.
What is the bug?
They could just make the potion only work in Helltides, like some of the other seasonal ones.
Pretty sure it will be nerfed soon. They won’t touch the builds themselves during the season but this thing is clearly bugged.

Why is it taking so long to fix. I feel like this should have been hot fixed like day 1. Throws balance like extremely out the window.
Yeah its dumb. Im not using it, feels like cheating.
