    I tried totem blight and bailed on it almost immediately. Totems never lived long enough to even start channeling it, much less put out any kind of significant damage. Boss fights, and especially legion stuff, is just too much AE damage for them to survive. ED/contagion is really good at map...

    Interesting. I've just been manually channeling vaal blight, and while the DPS is huge there aren't many bosses I can afford to stand still like that. I'll have to try the totems out and see.

    Getting pretty bored of ED/Contagion. Just not a very interesting playstyle, and channeling blight for my boss DPS feels kinda bad. Might be time to try a bow build finally. The "good" bow skills are tornado shot/scourge arrow right? Is toxic rain still a thing? Do you just always go deadeye...

    I knew the bleed explosions didn't work, but holy fuck no wonder Bladestorm felt just completely worthless compared to cyclone. From their weekly blog: Bladestorm's initial hit doesn't actually hit. We're aware that many players are feeling frustrated that some on-kill mechanics don't currently...

    So how do you build defense/tankyness as a caster like templar or witch (or assassin i guess)? It's pretty straightforward for melee where you just use fortify and stack some armor and some endurance charges and leech and just kinda be generally fat enough to not explode instantly. I've not done...

    I think it's time to give up on gladiator unfortunately. It's super awesome for everything but legion, but just completely falls apart every time you try and clear the legion spawn. Lose all my gladiator charges, no bleed explosions, frenzy charges fall off, etc. Don't think I can spend any more...

    Chandra is the only walker in the core set, calm your titties children. The 3 mana version looks absurdly powerful though.

    The combat stops being so dumb when you unlock the advanced classes, but that's like the final quarter of the game anyway and it can be pretty dull getting there. There's far less cross-class synergy between skills than you'd think, and all your characters eventually just end up all using the...

    Did you play the fixed version? The original release was pretty garbage but the 1.5 version of it cleaned up movement/combat a ton and added some stuff and made it in to a pretty solid B+ kind of thing. If they can grow from that base on this one it could be quite good.

    I mean realistically most of the melee skills are good enough to clear most of the content in the game. Sure some are better than others in terms of raw DPS, but that's way less important than finding a skill you like the feel and playstyle of mostly.

    Naw, blade storm is nuts as well. Lacerate is fine, but I wasn't really in to the playstyle of it. Earthquake bleeds are probably still plenty viable, double strike is still fine, sunder probably still fine. Cyclone only looks ridiculous right now because it has a gigantic flat physical damage...

    The main diff between swords and axes is if you need to take resolute technique or not. I wasn't able to get anywhere near accuracy cap with axes, so I had to spend 2 points on resolute and dump all my crit. Swords with their implicits may let you forego this, but in general are more expensive.

    Gladiator with bladestorm still feels pretty fucking good moving in to maps. My gear is complete ass but tier 4-5 maps still just melt. Using like ~150-200dps shitty rare axes and it doesn't matter between the massive attack speed + bleed stacks. You just swap to blood for any tougher rares and...

    Perforate actually seems fucking sick so far? I may just use this all the way to maps lol, fuck cyclone or whatever else. Since instant cast to swap between mega AE clear and huge boss damage, does pure phys for some bottom of the tree gladiator build, bleeds or whatever you want? Seems real strong.

    So am I understanding how all this fits together in that I can use cyclone as my actual DPS skill now for clearing, and rely on impale stacking to get some boss DPS as well? I'm not missing any strange restrictions or anything that would prevent cyclone from applying impale?

    I guess this is one way of making sure no uses MS in the new melee league: Now requires that you hit an enemy in order to produce projectiles, and splits the number of projectiles it produces evenly among all targets (if it can). Projectiles now deal 50% less damage at all levels (from 40% less...

    So what is Farrul's Fur actually used for? I've found it twice across a few leagues now and don't even know what build it goes in besides the "build whatever the fuck I want with my 30ex" build.

    This was the only possible outcome for the meta though, so they clearly considered it "worth" it to do their gimmicky walkers set. You can't just print 10 times the amount of walkers without standard devolving in to nothing but walker grind piles or jackal pup aggro decks unfortunately.

    This set should never have been marketed as a modern set. This is just Time Spiral 2: The Commander Reacharound. Why they pushed this is some big event for modern is beyond me, as almost none of this is actually viable there. Strongest cards that are most likely to make an impact so far are all...

    Game is basically L4D3 but in 3rd person. It's very iterative as well and doesn't add much new to the formula aside from some beefed up melee systems/items.
