    I'm reminded of reave and how much it sucks to fight that 3s timer as someone that alt tabs a lot. I'm anticipating frequently jumping into packs with only a few stacks and not one tapping the pack. Which is both dangerous and feels bad because more stacks might have cleared.

    I think Hydrosphere tech works on splash. Chain from same skill use would still have target restrictions. Hydrosphere would result in some amount of more damage, but it's not specific to this skill. It might actually be worse on this skill because it probably requires a high attack speed to...

    Too strong, too obvious. Though, so was ele hit. For comparison, wild stike's chain doesn't hit the target. Static strike's does, but had a less multiplier.

    Wording on holy strike suggests the minions only attack when you do. I like new static strike, damage effectiveness is nothing extraordinary. Stand a bit back Smite is better. Wonder how buffs will stack and fall off. RoW is a great starter weapon for most strike skill

    https://pobb.in/U0VWWuhXkHae This is what I got for cold ele hit league starter so far. My definition of "league starter" tends to be somewhat austere, and I'm even breaking my own rules by including marylene's fallacy. But, I was able to buy one after the campaign in Phrecia, so...probably...

    Gem swapping, reave for clear, mamba for single target. Or invest in some extra strikes and strike range and kludge mamba into both rolls. It was going to be ruetoo's starter this league, that 2% was going up. The nerfs were three fold originally: stop abuse of mamba's hit damage(intact)...

    I don't have a way to confirm this, but it's definitely possible to attack a pack that has no ailments and cause the larger AOE. My theory is that as your strike swings through the pack, the first targets hit will splash with the normal AOE onto targets you haven't hit yet with that same swing...

    I don't know how reliable that is. As in, I'm not necessarily doubting you, but that I've never used it so I have no feel for its reliability. Shield slot is a lot to give up. Even if reliable, I'm not sure sap is worth Svalinn or double foulborn Oppressor.

    Note, if you really want ignites and bleeds where it matters most, apply it with some other skill that you're likely using anyway. It's common to use Vaal Lightning Strike or Static Strike to generate power charges and rage in single target, just piggy back off those. Arkhon's Tools +...

    Next mystery: how does it interact with combat focus? If ignore, it'll be about 50% more damage than a typical ele hit setup. If affected by combat focus, the best I've gotten is ~90%. Still might be worth it for consistent cold damage and far less ramp time on single target.

    I chased Frostblink of Wintry Blast as a main skill for a while. If you can cheat the cast speed and maximize the chill effect, it has damage effectiveness rivalling old hexblast. It has some clunk that I could never overcome except with echoing shrines. I wonder if that new belt that gives...
