The Hammer of the Gods sucks.

The Hammer of the Gods sucks. Probably, because Hammer of the Gods was very strong in the last league, he was simply humiliated in this league. Not only does it take whole eternity to gain enough Glory, but it's also has so long cast time that all mobs can crawl out of its range even if they are maimed. Damage is now also weak, comparable to a Comet which can be launched one after another. A skill that was supposed to be ulta has been turned into a farce. Think carefully about what to do with this skill in the next league. The warrior is currently without an ulta. At a minimum, you need to make the fall of the hammer instantaneous.

They probably made them OP initially with "wow, what a one-shot!" clips to draw people into their game, and then nerfed them after they stabilized.

I haven't seen a single development team in my entire life time as sneaky as GGG. They're still acting like this is a free-to-play game in which they can punish people patch after patch with nerfs and determine their meta or life-time instead of making real fun content. It's just lazy game design, nothing special.

Spear of UV, Fart Serpent's Fury, Hammer of the Gays, Ancestral Steroid Totem, Gathering Zippers etc. these skills should be the "ultimate skill" for any character, in addition to their base skill set, without requiring any additional heavy investment in my opinion. But that's just my personal opinion, and I believe GGG will create another meta that we have to move quickly into, rather than offering us something truly fun to play with in the next patch.
