so everyone seems convinced the desecrate 15% spectre chance per corpse is an actual dd ignite buff, so maybe necro DD is on the menu.

Those absolution numbers are crazy. Absolution can already be a 20m+ dps build.

Captainicus posted:I'll just blindly league start whatever new spells they add this league instead That's usually my plan too. And no, I'm pretty sure every league has at least new supports, if not new skills. They've said that one of their strategies to retaining players is identifying the different things that keep people coming back and including at least some of each with each league, like new gear or new challenges. One of those is people who want to play with new skills.

Every time I look at a build, it's ~1m at the very most unless it's a Doriyani build with perfectly rolled Scourged -Lightning res gear Definitely tempted to roll with it with how hard it got buffed.

Last league I tried Energy Blade Trap which was kinda interesting but they left the stupid trap Elemental Overload bug unfixed for so long I abandoned it. I like channeled skills and wish there was another cold one besides Winter Orb which is kinda meh.

Spreadsheet of damage changes by caster archetype, looks like everything but selfcast and traps is pretty neutral https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oNl8bMcuvX5KGrbmi5hz1dcO-FLSv8rg5ozsLvmvG-A/edit#gid=0

Deki posted:Still, better levelling with it is nice. And Spiritual aid miiiiiight be worth the investment with the buffed spell damage? It already was if you weren't relying completely on the minions (and why would you when you need to cast it anyway?). I almost always take that wheel just for the raw minon stats anyway. Now a real necro buff would be making the spiritual whatever that let's you share minion attack speed also work for cast speed.

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:Spreadsheet of damage changes by caster archetype, looks like everything but selfcast and traps is pretty neutral I wish this included Poet's Pen etc. Near as I can tell, the weapon-based triggered casting is nerfed by like 12% overall for the +48% buffed spells. Should still be fine, for those spells. We haven't seen numbers for Eye of Winter, it might still be in the game!

GGG didn’t address the main problem with DD. They either don’t know what they hosed up in 3.16 or just gonna stealth nerf it. It seems people, including here, are unaware why it was specifically OP this patch. They think it was always like this or that it was due to the ignite changes. No, they hosed up and changed the base corpse health ( the base HP not the increased life %) and increased it by like 10 times this patch. They mention something vaguely about mob hp and damage reduction in relation to delve and seems like they didn’t compensate for corpses. That’s probably what went wrong on their end. Anyway that is the main reason why it became OP. There are vids of people clearing simulacrums with just unearth. Desecrate wasn’t the source of the problem.

generic metric posted:There are vids of people clearing simulacrums with just unearth. Desecrate wasn’t the source of the problem. Desecrate is absolutely the problem. Unearth works because its not capped by zone level, so with extremely heavy investment (+gems, Empower, alternate quality + Enhance) you could create lvl90+ corpses with +60% max corpse hp, which then would put it ever so slightly ahead of just pressing Desecrate, lmao

They should revert the mob base health so that desecrate + DD becomes balanced again. Instead of what they’re trying to do now. However, I do agree with trying to make DD more consistent and less based on which zone you are in. generic metric fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Jan 25, 2022 |

I am having trouble parsing the orb of storms description (bolded): quote:Orb of Storms has been redesigned as a single target tool for lightning casters. The focus of the skill has been placed on its mechanic of hitting enemies when you cast a lightning skill in its area. Orb of Storms now deals 3 to 8 Lightning Damage at gem level 1 (previously 2 to 7), up to 304 to 913 at gem level 20 (previously 185 to 555). Now strikes every 3.50 seconds at gem level 1 (previously 1.50 seconds), and every 2.55 seconds at gem level 20 (previously 1.02 seconds). What does this mean practically? I've not really ever used OOS past act 1.
