The Secret META S-Tier 975% More Powerful Build!!! - Next Clickbait Delay Mini-Rant
140I actually enjoy people sending me their build ideas, character concepts, etc. - though an odd trend has come up with the "is this build actually good?" type questions is the clickbait for this season of Diablo 2 Resurrected (Patch 2.7's next hit delay change specifically).
The reality is, this change effects very little - none of these builds are sneaking in many times more damage, or doing anything more broken than what was available in 2.6 (not even mosaic, since, you'll be one shotting things on p8 anyways).
The biggest improvement for Next Hit Delay, and why this change is a great thing is for the multiplayer improvements - not the solo builds - which we see a decent improvement for the Blade Sentinel Assassin (https://youtu.be/rUtRxKKYBGg) and an even smaller boost to the wind (https://youtu.be/8DmJGLxYuSg) and fire druids (https://youtu.be/xPrpXS1OJ7M) - the builds haven't changed, they got a situational buff that you won't really notice 75% of the time.
It's great to be fired up and passionate about updates, and give props to the skeleton crew making them - they deserve it because it is a QoL improvement - but I'm not a fan of bald faced lying to new players, since this is dipping into some 5-minute crafts level stuff lately.
(and yes, the title is even poking fun at my own build guide titles - there's a reason why most build guides have "Secret", "Meta", "S-Tier", "Powerful", "Deadly", or an exact % in them - it has the buzzfeed effect, and they're keywords that youtube associates with diablo 2 viewers, and results in the video being more likely to be fed to you)
