Diablo 4 Players Call for Revamp of Ineffective Ultimate Skills

Despite being a significant factor in many builds during the preseason of Diablo 4, Ultimate Skills have lost their relevance due to the prevalence of meta builds in Season 4. As a result, players have been requesting for these skills to be improved in order to have a greater impact on combat gameplay.

In a post on the Diablo 4 subreddit, ‘luckydog27’ pointed out that the Ultimate Skills in the game are underwhelming in terms of damage according to their experience. As each season progresses, D4 builds have focused on dealing increasingly higher amounts of damage, making the Ultimate Skills fall short in comparison.

The OP expressed their desire to create a [Critical Damage] centered build that utilizes an Ultimate to defeat enemies. However, they have been unsuccessful in finding an Ultimate that deals damage for any class. This sentiment was shared by many others in agreement.

Another player expressed disappointment in the Ultimates, stating that they are visually impressive but ultimately fall short. They believe that the lengthy cooldowns do not fit well with the fast-paced nature of D4 as an ARPG.

In the early stages of the game, Ultimate Skills were crucial for their ability to inflict significant damage at lower levels. However, as the endgame becomes increasingly difficult with each season, these skills have begun to pale in comparison to other playstyles.

Previously, Bone Spear Necromancers relied heavily on the Bone Storm Ultimate as their finishing move, thanks to its wide area of effect. However, in Season 4, players with the same build tend to overlook it and instead allocate their Skill Points towards more beneficial areas.

“Many expressed disappointment in the neglect of these skills. A hopeful Diablo 4 player suggested that they may be utilized in the future, while others attributed their neglect to the poorly designed skill tree.”

If you are not a fan of Ultimates until they are updated, you may want to consider utilizing other strong builds that incorporate Uber Uniques to successfully conquer the endgame challenge.
