    Fwiw im level 89 crackling energy sorc. Easily one of the worst subclasses available but i stuck with it because its fun, i enjoy the challenge, and im a stubborn bastard. I had no vulnerable on my build at all. The crit nerfs alone reduced my damage more than the other buffs. I even use 2 of the lightning specific buffed aspects. Combined with survivability nerfs, i can no longer complete the dungeons i could before.

    I appreciate their attempts to increase viable variety. But the nerfs to the OP meta builds leaked onto the already struggling variety builds.

      Found the only other dumbass on this website who plays crackling energy sorc. I loved it after the defense nerfs when mobs can now one shot me from offscreen if I’m not careful.

      However, from what I could tell, my build got a major damage upgrade from the patch so it seems like our experiences are different.

      I was really hoping they’d make crackling energy viable. Not surprised this shitshow of a patch made it worse.
