Maybe if it weren’t made by GGG, there is a chance it could be decent, but there is no way GGG, in their current mind frame, are going to create a minion gem that gets anywhere close to the combined power of everything you give up.

Indeed. I'm most likely going with a summoner anyway as a starter so I'll see how that gem feels like while levelling

If that is what I'm thinking it is, Rallos wanted a Div Card and I may have suggested the idea of a random Alt Quality Golem gem since he loves Golems.

I can’t imagine it will be anywhere near strong enough to make it worth running over just any standard summoner build. You give up your AG, specters, and golem, just to have 1 damaging minion and some weak skeles or srs for it to feed on.

I’ll definitely throw the gem on while I am leveling to experiment with it, but I expect it to be a complete joke. Maybe if it weren’t made by GGG, there is a chance it could be decent, but there is no way GGG, in their current mind frame, are going to create a minion gem that gets anywhere close to the combined power of everything you give up.

If it gets to HoAg level damage I'll be satisfied

You guys ready for the Reaper gem to give absolutely gently caress all information for how it works in game, and will require no less than fourteen posts from Mark_GGG on reddit to fully understand, which will then become the sole source of information on the gem for the next 3 years?

Up to two Mark posts so far, probably more to follow.

just for reference for people who don't want to dig them up

quote:

The Consume skill kills one of your minions and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds. The buff grants 40% increased damage, 20% increased attack speed, 20% increased movement speed and 10% increased character size.

The Reaper has muliple instances of the skill which its AI uses in different circumstances:

The version it frequently uses because it's hurt has a 6-second cooldown.
The version it infrequently uses because it just felt like it (and didn't already have the buff) has a 25 second cooldown.
EDIT: Consume also recoverys 50% of the Reaper's life.

quote:

Along the same lines, for Absolution, would you be able to explain the "larger" Absolution that the minions will cast? This was alluded to in the trailer and I'm not sure if it's still on the gem.

They have two Absolution spells - one normal and one that does the initial AoE and then a follow-up wave extending out to a larger area. Things in the initial AoE will be hit by both. The bigger one has a 6 second cooldown.

Hmh my Ball Lightning Ascendant's DPS dropped by 60%. It was a sweet build, I had 115k phys EHP, 160k chaos and 340k ele EHP. It was good because it did some damage but it kept me alive because I'm a bad player.

Now where I'm going to find another build which can take hits, but also does damage and kills mobs...

Why does everything have to be twisted into "hurdur reddit am i right guys?" on this dumb forum? People here had issues, people on youtube had issues, people on twitch had issues, people sitting in my house that aren't me had issues. Even GGG themselves were memeing about how severe the nerfs were going to be. Reddit didn't have some hot take.

That said, you're right in that Chris' post was super reasonable, and honestly gave me a glimmer of optimism for this league.

lol. that kind of confirms my thinking, but unfortunately not in a good way. like the aurabot thing- we want to change it, but have no idea how is not really what I would call 'better' than the theory that it was just the favorite of the devs and they thought it was fine. if anything it's more embarsssing.

-didn't even touch on the reason people were confused about hypothermia's nerf (if it was never meant to be a cold support gem then why did you name it hypothermia?) while also seeming to not realize how badly it nerfed cold dot builds because, what, other supports are gonna magically appear to replace it?
-"clarified" his position on ultimatum by just adding an entirely new section to it that was not mentioned at all, although this one is more a "Chris should really not be doing off the cuff interviews" situation
-just saying the video of him talking about marvel heroes "wasn't the same situation at all, come on guys"
-reiterating the patch notes guy hosed up, while also giving us a baffling explanation where the patch notes guy is copy pasting the format off of the wiki to change later, like holy poo poo how do you even get to that point without realizing you should be doing something else?

People still have issues with the patch notes and changes that he didn't touch on at all except to say everyone is overreacting and it'll play fine, which is extremely not addressing anything.

Also, the comments underneath that are just redditors tripping over themselves to say "oh okay, thank you chris" so it's real weird to call the "histrionics" reddit's.

it's called hypothermia because it's supposed to be a cold support gem, it's just not supposed to be a cold dot support gem.

Utterly dreadful. Full of "we are sorry you feel wronged" kind of statements without admitting any fault of their own, not even with Hypothermia as they say they will remove the cold DoT damage anyways but just later. Also lol at the Marvel Heroes comment.
