One strong Sorcerer build was effectively deleted in Diablo 4 and now players want it back

After hitting the endgame in Diablo 4, players have realized the Hydra Sorcerer build was “effectively deleted” prelaunch and still isn’t a viable build option for World Tier Three and higher—a balancing decision they’re now demanding Blizzard roll back.

Before Diablo 4 launched, several nerfs were made to multiple classes. While these have changed how we build our characters, in some cases, these nerfs quite effectively destroyed particular builds, including the Hydra Sorcerer build. This build focuses on the Hydra summon ability, which brought forth a three-headed hydra that now does minimal monster damage and only lasts for around ten seconds—which isn’t enough.
