In the latest Season 5 of Diablo 4, the Lightning Spear Build, which uses the legendary power of the season, is one of the most popular ways to play the profession. Using the unique equipment Shattered Winter Mirror Amulet, players can use the Frozen Sphere to trigger the summoning skill, and the summoning skill can trigger the Frozen Sphere cycle, reducing the CD and relying on the Lightning Spear output.

However, this kind of build that generates a large number of spells instantly will obviously cause server lag for the real-time online Diablo 4. On the forum, Blizzard Community Manager wrote: "In rare cases, the power of split energy and the amulet of the shattering winter mirror may cause problems that negatively affect server performance. To solve this problem, we have reduced the frequency of it firing arcs at other enemies and increased its damage to compensate. In addition, in rare cases, the number of frozen balls that can be fired from the spell when using the shattering winter mirror has also been adjusted."

While Lightning Spear has had its damage increased in an attempt to balance things out, the number of enemies it can hit has been reduced, which is a real nerf in difficult activities and game modes that require speed and efficiency.

According to Mekuna, a high-level player who set the world record for the hardest dungeon with this build before the nerf, he "lost 50% of the damage he was doing" after the nerf. Although he did notice less lag, he was still unhappy with the nerf, saying, "I used to be able to clear the mobs in 2-3 minutes, now it takes 7 minutes." But he also confirmed that "if you don't farm deep pits, the nerf shouldn't be noticeable."
