Asmon thinks he’s a barbarian but in reality he’s built like a sorcerer
TRUE AND REAL
He's built as a forager.
The only thing hard on him is the 3 hairs left on his head.
@@bloodnwine A forager that isn’t very successful at foraging!
He's built like a runt that would be thrown to the wolves at birth.
15:27 The moment you begin to question whether you have made a mistake playing melee for over 15 years
the answer is always yes, melee always get the shaft.
@@someweirdo9129 Yup :)
These kind of games are designed so that you can move out of the way if an enemy attacks you. However, if you choose to fight enemies in melee, you forsake that advantage for everything except well telegraphed attacks. Suddenly you are relying entirely on your health and defenses whereas otherwise they are the second line of defense that you use when you fail to avoid getting hit. I think that melee needs to be rethought. Other games like God of War, Bloodborne and any Zelda game does not force you to take hits when you use melee. If ARPGs let you avoid enemy attacks, melee should not be an exception.
@@Crystalgate As someone who bought a PS just to play bloodborne, i wholeheartedly agree with that statement
Barbarians should be playing the tank role since they are forced to be taking damage to deal damage.
Thorns is actually pretty good and is the middle ground for barbs to benefit from taking the damage. Seems to be the ideal build for barbs at least for the beta.
These artists really did put in all their mana, the hand crafted environment is awesome.
This. The game's vibes are great.
@@tiffles3890 If only art, aesthetics, and vibes could carry the gameplay.
@@poisonated7467 i didn't say they could.
Regardless, those, along with the story, are an important part of the experience in a fantasy based game. At least to me.
@@tiffles3890 Sorry if I implied that you said they could. I agree that story and art are important. It's just that most people nowadays will look at a cinematic or "gameplay" footage and call it a good game, or better.
You’re all right. Music cinema and art is all on point. It’s the gameplay alone that brings this game down solely due to corporate greed. I like to think that the actual development team still cares about creating quality products. I hope anyway haha
I maxed out sorc and rogue in beta and played a few levels of barbarian, and my overall thoughts were “why would anyone go any class other than sorcerer”.
because not everyone is a meta gaming shithead.
Rouge is even better when comes to the speed that you can clear thou. But chain lightning is overturned and needs a nerf. Rest is pretty fine, thou.
@@arthena2130 yeah remember this is world tier 2 and capped at lvl 25. More builds will probably come into their own with uniques and harder affix
weird cause my brother has a warrior ... and he fucking speed through the dungeons all weekend long with his whirlwind build . When u have the gear and u know how to optimize it and choose the correct yellows to adjust the build ... its as good as anything .... i think uu are just new to these games or u suck big times
@@NAIXNIX here i am telling people in my head stfu.......no nerfing this is early game, although i do think barb early game is rooough
Sorcerer is fun af I got a legendary with the aspect of “stand still for x time and get a dmg buff” combined it with fire shield and chose the title of pyro maniac. You can literally become a mage tank
Playing with Sorcerer making the game to easy
@@ASAFYY what sorcerer is hella glass cannon.
@@vainfate6275 it doesn’t matter when the enemy’s can’t even get near you.
😮😅😅😅😮😅
@@ASAFYY casters are always OP at the start of pretty much every ARPG, and then they get one shot in the end game lol
My phone will take 7 days to notify me about a tinder message yet my phone notifies me about your video less 3 minutes after uploading. Tf
your phone knows the right priorities
Your phone has its priorities right
Tinder < Bald Daddy
Tinder Is still a thing nowdays?. I haven't heard that name In so long holy that brings back memories.
You get zero matches bro
Remember, this is beta act 1, you will eventually run into creatures with resistances and some with immunity to certain attacks(elements)
"remember" , this is only a low level sorcerer, which means he will only get stronger and more OP than he allready is!
When you have a build/class that can kill dungeon bosses in seconds, I do see some issues further down the line :)
@@midaignesvittu it doenst work like that.
Everyone needs to look for a youtube video on the scaling of monster power.
Not every game is like D2
I know Asmon has been talking alot about how he really wants to utilize the AI Asmon and like actually have it do full streams in the future and whatnot. What would be hilarious, would be if he had it monitor and respond to chat for him, so he could just focus on gaming. And then there was a spot within this video, like halfway through or so, where he said "okay, remind me in an hour", which is what made me think of this whole thing. Like what if he just had his own little AI stream assistant, who would actually remind him of whatever in however long, and respond to chat in real time, etc..
That would be neat, but imagine it just responds to an honest comment like "just tuned in asmon! Love the steam can't wait for the raid tonight" with kill yourself
Can't wait for Twitter to do a psycho analysis on the ai and cancel it for being too mean
He should definitely do this would be an awesome exhibition of where our culture is heading
"No he´s not gunna be bald, that not going to fucking happen" - LOL got me good!
The tracking on the electric build is what makes it so OP. Yes its a mana hungry class, but that seems to be about it.
fire hydra seems to be the best skill from what everyone is saying in the beta, especially if you get lucky and get the legendary power that lets you summon two at once.
That actor is actually muscly as hell now. He got into the gym and lost a bunch of weight and turned it into muscle.
"That might be a bad idea, but thats what we are doing" 😂🤣 i love it
Just wait til you discover late game immunes then you’ll feel so helpless
I just started the Sorc, same feeling.
Levelled a rogue first, then barb
Actually liked barb better than rogue due to thorns build was just a steam roll.
Edit: I actually had much more fun as low level Sorc, but the higher I get I don't really feel more powerful.
With my barb he started out so slow, but at higher level I felt I got way more powerful.
My barb literally takes no damage and mobs kill themselves hitting me.
That's how a lot of melee classes work and it gives you a good sense of progression where as like you said a lot of ranged classes hit a ceiling early on
Felt different for me, Sorcerer feels more powerful, although I still have to test out different abilities on the Barbarian so I'll try that Friday
i maxed sorc druide and necro. Sorc gets alot of good legis and when i had the BiS for beta she was a total monster i could ignore for 8 secs all mechanics and dmg because her dmg was so high that frostarmor barrie was filled in 1 sec to max. I was facetanking the worldboss with his cleave etc and didnt loose hp. i maxed hydra had item that gave alot of % dmg for example against bosses 40% under barrier 30% etc ^^ normal bosses like in dungeons died in arround 4-6 secs and aoe clear with fireball enchant is amazing^^
I feel like Blizzard watched this and went straight to the drawing board for mages in SoD.
The comment in chat at 2:50 when asmon is talking about hair color and someone types 'dark bald' 🤣
Blade of darkness (severance) an action/rpg game from the early 2000s had totally different storylines and starting locations for each of its 3 characters. Todays developers are extremely lazy.
P.S. All voice acting is overdone and sounds totally unatural, the music is out of touch with the games mood and makes me want to puke on the face of those responsible for this choise.
Mans legit said "Man what a day" while this villagers mom was dying. 🤣
this is exactly how its supposed to feel when playing a magic user.
I'm waiting for his necromancer class to get uploaded on this channel. Please do
from the game play I've seen so far, depending on Blizzard's intent, Barbs are either under tuned or everything else is over tuned. Rhykker was playing Ranger and he was zipping around mowing down mobs like it was just another greater rift farming run with his fully geared demon hunter.
He doesn’t consider that his new character is not the same as the first one since the new one has all these Lilith blessings since the beginning
Asmon is legit the only streamer that I can watch a full 9hr video of, and that is some powerful shit
Well.... 9 hours of Hard-Ass Barb struggle have been fun, but Sorc kicked his Brain like a Kokain Overdose :P
9 hours of that ain't working out for me!
Guzu is pretty good....😅
if something is 9 hours long, i practically always watch with 2x speed
sometimes I wish youtube would have 3x speed
@@Redmanticore get RUclips Playback Speed Control. 2 arrows at top of every youtube video, faster or slower, up to 10x speed.
I have a sharp feeling some nerfs will appear very shortly after the beta
I noticed around level 8-10 you feel unstoppable but once you get to like 12-20 there are times when you start to feel like there is some challenge because sorcerer doesn’t have the best defensive stats.
If you play rogue or sorc you ate unstoppable all they way to lvl 25, hope they add more enemies with cc or make them have more health.
@@GatoMichito im pretty sure the game will make you fight elites that are inmune to your elementals attacks. In d2 they game will make you fight these kind of enemies dependidng on what ur building.
sorc is literally the tankiest cls in the beta, facetanking the butcher and the worldboss. not only that, they can become immune to dmg in multiple ways, on top of having barriers for 10k+ hp
@@vmox7453 There will be Champions at world tier lvl 3+ which will be having resistance auras : ) Dunno if only in Helltides or not.
Theres a reason why Sorceror/Wizard is OP in every Diablo game
Its because its made by "Blizzard"
The amount of emotionally distraught Lost Ark players in the chat is hilarious
"GET UP GET UP samurai, we've got a city to burn"
A Sorcerer is just a wizard without a hat...
-Sam Wilson
Crazy how people throw the terms broke and op around now.
Any class that's slightly better than another is somehow overpowered now.
it's all shameless hyperbole lol
Barbarian is pretty op if you go with a Blood Bleed build
Baldemort! That had me rollin 😂
as someone that has never touched a Diablo game. This looks promising
Hi first time writing u been down for the passed mouth lost my mom just wanted to say thank you for putting some laughter in my life watch your video make me take it all off my mind thank you
"its not ready" its a beta for starts and also its 3 months from realease that more than enough time to sort servers
Watching Asmon play barb first and then this makes it so much more fun. I was constantly laughing. I wonder if Barb has better scaling, making it better than sorc at end game with top gear. As it is, the damage just seems way imbalanced between sorc and barb.
assuming blizzard can't balance shit I would highly doubt that, hopefully I'm wrong and they looked at the player feedback for game launch
if anything the endgame build/gear for barb might cater towards a spefcifc role while sorc endgame could be something else (i.e. barb trash killer, sorc boss killer etc.)
Asmon, Just a suggestion: Pin a location on the main map with right-click, then follow the brown line to your destination in the mini-map. It helps so you don't have to keep opening the main map often when moving to a new destination.
Sorcerer all day everyday... turns Diablo into vampire survivors. lol.
You know there's probably an option in the settings to select that makes you pick up all items when you walk over them just like in "Immortal" right? lol
Yeah I started as barbarian but after playing as necromancer and sorcery these two class make the barbarian look like a joke necromancer no joke with that AOE that slows enemies as your skeletons go to work.
Dang man.... This like some 2x or 3x speed run level from the barb. Clearing the game SO many times faster. Like... 1 tapping bosses. The immunity bosses that spawn adds seem to be the hardest for you since 2 or 3 bounces get eaten on the "bubble"
The music around 59:40 and 01:04:30 is so good. So reminiscent of Diablo 2 yet different at the same time. And epic.
Can you imagine if Diablo was the mmo that blizzard did instead of Warcraft
dude just walking around zapping everything like the bug zapper 9000
so yeah, spark to build up crit, Chain lightning to oneshot everything, Fireball as a Enchant for on kill EXPLOSION on top, flame shield for immortality, Tp for Tp and Ice blade for Vulnerability on bosses, then you ult. Get the passives for Crit, Damage, CD reset, Shields and Stuns and you kill everything, are immortal and yeah.
Lost opportunity to name the sorcerer Baldemort...
The extra hydra legendary is nice to find. If you like playing fire that is.
Barbarians are always going to have to be tuned down earlygame because they have 4 weapon slots. Lategame you are going to see them be absolutely insane with the extra stats and abilities. The problem isn't as bad as it seems from a raw damage perspective, Kripparian said it best, the problem is a ton of the mobs in the game aren't melee friendly. your effective DPS when you can't stand there and actually build up your resource is completely fucked.
That's the problem with Rage shit system that started with WoW a game where every enemy gets your aggro and start attacking you in the front, they don't run.
@@Chromeskull90 yeah, the rage system would prob be the best way to make barbs stronger early game without making them overtuned end game. Maybe make it regenerate if it's below 50%
every asmon vid I watch he is always digging for gold
Electric skull tree is op. I ran the entire beta with that arc lighting
For some reason I feel like I've seen the demo for this like years ago and I just logged into d2 and seen at the end that Tariel does talk about Sanctuary and didn't really know how to describe it b/c at the time it didn't exist.
I remember when i 1st played Skyrim and made Mage, i used to play warriors in all games before that xD, im now maining magic casters in any game, especialy ones with PvP like MMORPGs, i use warrs to farm gear for my Mages and then PvP with them. Magic is OP.
Sorcerer is always op. But to play a barbarian you need to understand the mechanics. Skill Combination is always important for barbarian.
We should make him pick barb for first playthrough so he takes long to kill stuff while we all speed throughout the main game on our sorcerer's hahahahah
Love the cutsene around 2:13:18 ish when we get a look at this gear some guy in chat says "it looks like your charater eats cereal with a fork" haha
His character is dressed like he's a model in the Paris Fashion Week lol
That Frozen Orb in D2 was my favorite until Hell mode when every other enemy was immune!
Barbarian run vs Sorcerer run
=
Mook Grindset vs Shonen Protagonist
When is the next open beta?
I started with barbarian. It wasn't great, just ok. Started a sorcerer last night. Difference is night and day. Sorcerer class is damned amazing. One boss that took me 2 hours to beat on barb only took like 4 minutes on my sorc.
Good call to release a video this long for background/second monitor. nice!
The Twitch Player crashes too often
Asmongold: "You shouldn't be able to be killed by something fired from off screen" **5 mins into sorc gameplay** "Hahahahahahaha"
Finally, Asmon's baptism
7 hours in, full legendaries. Same old Diablo, the loot gets super boring very quickly because you don't get excited when legendaries fall out of the sky every time you fart. Min maxing is all these games are good for. At least that's fun for most people, but this just looks like D3 with a really nice coat of paint on it. I'm glad they fixed the vibe though.
You realize it's happening because they wanna test the legendaries right? Like it's not gonna be like that on live hence the world tier system
@@dunkindognuts3345 can you honestly tell me you see it being all that different in June? Toned down some, yes. But if the drop rate is anywhere close to what it ended up being in D3 then I'll pass.
Blizzard is awful at determining drop rates for longevity. They either make them impossible to find (Open world drops in WoW and at the launch of D3) or it just showers legendaries.
I just don't have any faith in Blizzard at this point. Which is a shame, because I love Diablo.
@@shanewalker8607 yes especially being the only point to legendaries is using them for imprinting them being they have less stats then yellows also the unique and ascended rarity only happen in tier 3 and 4
I’d be more impressed if someone made “The worst sorcerer build 2023 really works”
how much will the game be on release?
FML ... I've decided to play as sorcerer thanks to your video. Thanks so much to the people who were commenting as well..
Asmon: It’d be cool if each character had their own backstory, but that’s never gonna happen.
Dragon Age: Origins was a one-off.
Sorc was always gonna be broken on launch. Considering the content available, and the fact they know the majority will be casters, they probably wanted it to feel overpowered for now. Expect it to change tho.
they might wanna fix the issue thats frying 3080s among other cards before anything else
If you want GOLD, just follow Asmongold because he leaves a trail of gold behind him.
He's right about fans of the game not wanting it to evolve. I remember years back, maybe 2016? A couple people were on the diablo reddit and posts cropped up about what if Diablo side games, even diablo in 1st or 3rd person, and you would have thought someone shat in their fridge the hate was so visceral. Not even the main game, just smaller pocket games between mainline releases.
bro the thumbnail looks like Chris Delia and i cant unsee it now hahah
I feel like you dont know about the sorcerer character, that player character has always been top tier . it's not to surprising if it becomes the strongest of the characters
People need to understand that Sorc is a glasscanon. It hits hard, but also gets hit hard. Wait til we will get rifts like in D3, then it will get hard
Tried out all 3 classes to level 10 and definitely seemed like sorc was the way to go. I wonder if they will nerf them now.
They need too
@@patrykgorecki581 No, they are all balanced for end game, jesus, you guys are basing it off the leveling experience. Nobody nerfed the paladins in D2 because they level so goddamned quickly. Just be quiet until we actually know what happens at end game.
@@viperswhip End game is not the game. The end game should be based around the game, and the game is too easy. The leveling experience is a part of the game and needs to be treated with just as much attention as the end game.
This didn’t age well
The village of Lilith worshipers gives me resident evil 4 vibes.
So happy this diablo is more like 2 than 3.
barbs are usually good for late game
they need to introduce the same they did for D3, with melee classes getting less dmg etc.
Lmao Im playing along with you ( also after playing a barb to 25 ) and "Seers Staff" just dropped.... "chain lightning has a 50 percent chance to chain 2 additional times." jesus christ
The Dev team really didn't think the games combat design through when it comes to class thematic melee just looks bad compared to any of the magic stuff
the art style and theme they chose make it necessary for melee to need more gore and impact effects to keep up with the effects of the sorcerer and other more flashier classes
One of the cellar event is 3 treasure goblins, i dont know if there is a chance of more of them spawning
Okay I’m making a sorcerer currently running a necromancer but really want to try this for myself
What gives the fireball explosion on all the attacks?
It’s wild how people act like 70 is too much for a game. For instance Diablo 3 one year after launch had 14.5 million players with an average of 193 hours played. Now if you compare 193 hours to another form of entertainment, such as movies, you can see how much entertainment you’re getting per hour. It’s 9.57 to watch one movie. Usually an hour to 2 hours worth of entertainment. Diablo with a 70 dollar price tag broken down by the hour, you come out to .36 cents per hour if you take the average 193 hours played on Diablo 3. If you only consider the campaign or story mode for entertainment. It’s been revealed that 35 hours is the estimated time to complete it. If we break this down from 70 we get 2$ an hour. So with expected average play time and minimal play time if only doing the campaign. We can see that you definitely get many hours of entertainment from anywhere between 2$ to .36 cents. I certainly think Diablo 4 is worth it if you enjoy arpg. So please don’t let feelings get the best of you people, facts are important. As far as entertainment goes per hour, it’s very cheap.
Barb took over 2 mins to defeat the first boss sorcerer was 50sec to defeat the same boss.
How? My Sorc was taking forever to kill bosses. I can't tank any bosses like this. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
something to keep in mind is that he didn't take a spender on his barb until well after he had killed the boss. He was too busy hyperfocusing on his regular attack which was Frenzy (and from what I can tell, dumping multiple points into a skill's basic node isn't that great early on)
i do not know why but when i was playing The Butcher poped up in a room murdered me with extreme prejudices lol. after that he went away and never returned once i went back for revenge. the Hydra enchantment spawns a 5head ever 300 mp you use and it stores, i went full pyro and had that and a staff that let me summon 2 normal hydras at the same time so mass dps and random 5 head hydra went i spent the mana.
how the hell is the game not ready? it looks ready to me.
How long does beta last? Thinking about getting it
For another 6 hours
loved what i see so far, the vet mode seems a good challenge too.
if by vet you mean veteran mode, it is not. it is insanely too easy even for early game. im sorc and face tank entire waves and am full health. they MUSt make the game far more difficult, if i have to beat it 4x to get to a remotely challenging gameplay exp. ill be sad
Putt-Putt travels through time is about 100x harder than vet mode.
Don't get me wrong the game is fun, but as a first time Diablo player...surely it gets harder, right?
@@tommytherunner preach. I won't play it if this is what I'm dealing with. You're bored wave clearing at all levels right now
World tier 1 is easy mode and tier 2 is essentially normal mode.
@@saltyseasdog I don’t think it’s bad for the game to be accessible for casual players. And scaling endgame/seasonal play should keep hardcore players satisfied too.
This barbarian hits different
1st char on launch is gonna be a lightning sorc named Thesenate
Laughs in ball lightning
Sorcerers are so much fun but it's sad because knowing how much fun they were there probably going to get nerfed to the ground
After second world boss.. did he rly not take and open the box with loot, like he got from first boss?
Rogues are the boss killers, Sorcs kill trash, Barbs are tank/support.
Announced 5 released 3 for beta use I'm guessing that the possibility of two more being Paladin and Witch Doctor
Feels like he is doing the sword run
You missed an opportunity when you named your character sorcerassmond or what ever , it should be sor’ass 😂
