The idea of slapping horse zoom in as an option was just as terrifying as adding 1% damage to a skill

I will still give it a go because maybe it's better in action but how deflating

yeah me. they've allowed them to scale in some way they didn't mention in the patch notes. according to what they've written those individual tornadoes should be doing something like 1/10000 of a HotA worth of damage. glad they're not bad, but it's because of some as of yet undocumented interaction so i guess we'll see if it makes it out of PTR

i stand by this though. the tornadoes now spawn directly in front of you, so that's good. they still don't seek but that's covered up by the fact you can spawn enough to cover a screen and they allowed them to scale in some other way so that they do enough damage to one shot level 95 mobs. if it brings a steamer PC to single digits, i wonder what it's going to do to a console
The patch notes indicate that all the proc skills now scale with weapon damage, which is probably what's happening. Odds are pretty good that the tooltips available on websites (and, indeed, in the notes themselves) are unable to take that into consideration, and so look very small.

That zoomed in comparison shots look the same on my phone just now, but were noticeable when I watched them on a big TV earlier.
I'd like it a little bit more tbh, but it is an improvement

I appreciate the cutting irony that in the end Diablo 4 actually was in early access for nearly a year.

Good reports, thanks for the effort! Actually gives me enough hope and interest to play a season for real this time after going hard in S1, dabbling in S2 for two days and falling asleep for S3.

A year+ of de facto "early access" appears to be the new normal with a lot of games, especially anything with Games as a Service involved.
