I would have liked to see a test with gear that is actually appropriate for the area, rather than shit you won't get until act5. I understand the point that your were trying to make, but as has been said by you and others. Testing with 101 gear is not the way to judge everything.
By stating that you can justify a Zod runeword like armageddon. You can't technically get Zod until A3 hell realistically and even then it's more or less not likely. You won't get a zod until your somewhere in A5 hell. Right? So was armageddon truly over powered? Is poison REALLY over powered?
If justification of balancing is based on YOUR area then how the fuck do you balance accordingly. Explain to me. Let's hear your ingenious proposition on balancing.
Melees/phys have always been excessively weaker in Normal and Nightmare than in later parts of Hell. That was the unfortunate way HU was balanced within starting far before this patch.
That doesn't mean it should be allowed to reach that level of complete rape. How effective is that poison zon before A5 gear?
Let's also hypothesize and say that the druid is balanced until he reaches higher levels with higher gear so what's that mean? Oh.. now your 101 it's okay go rape everything but non IM shit in 10 seconds or less and more or less CB anything thats IM.
Let's also give back Armageddon to Fire druid shall we? Theoretically fire druids weren't so bad until armageddon. My druid felt well balanced actually until I got that wep and gg gear.
Everything has to be balanced even with the end in mind.
