Bugsy posted:If you do that your volatile dead orbs wont do any damage. I feel like there are probably three different builds that will take advantage of VD, the cast on melee kill pretty much builds itself, and should be fantastic for clearing, but probably bad for bosses. Self casting VD with cascade will depend on how annoying it is to position cascades relative to the corpses, and what the overall ae coverage looks like. If you are fighting a boss you will almost certainly want to supplement this with an unearth totem, but in a 4l it would be hard to generate enough corpses to support cascade VD. Maybe add desecrate to cwdt. If you use Ancestral Bond to create two VD casting totems, you loose out on Cascade, but you no longer have to worry about targeting. You can supplement your totems with self creating corpses, ideally with spell echo-cascade-desecrate, generating 30 corpses at once then having the freedom to be mobile for a few seconds while desecrate is on cooldown may be strong, or it may be better just to self cast unearth. Needs some testing. I also haven't given up on cremation, but that is really going to need some testing of its mechanics, and I am concerned it will be bad for clearing. Having to generate corpses and then summon 3 geysers before you start doing any real damage seems slow.

I did the Baron SRS build last league and got frustrated with the Baron market price skyrocketing higher every day. Will the same thing happen with the Baron this league too?

Nuclearmonkee posted:So with these new items giving free support gems at random everywhere I'm thinking a cast on weapon swap character with 6l equivalent CWDT in every slot is going to own as a 2nd character. CoWS builds are the best builds. Although, loss of instant leech is a big, big problem for maximum spam.

DAAAAAAMN Ancestral Call will trigger even if you on't actually hit anything with your attack. Namelock is getting closer and closer to death. Woo!

Cast on weapon swap? How does that work?

Essence of Delirium used on a weapon gives it "Casts Lvl 20 Spectral Spirits on equip" which summons 2 invulnerable floating skulls, similar to SRS. Swapping away from the weapon causes the skulls to desummon, which counts as them dying. You wear a Heartbound Loop, which causes you to take 350 phys damage when a minion dies. Bolt on some CWDT setups and prepare to spam that weaponswap button. Best part of it is that you can weaponswap at any time, evenwhile frozen, even while moving. edit: Re-reading what I typed reminds me why I loving love this game so much. I couldn't do anything like that in D2/D3 nightwisher fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Dec 7, 2017 |

Could Wild Strike + Ancestral Call actually be a thing? I like the idea since it reminds me of playing Enhancement Shaman in WoW

Does it build itself? I hope it's not terrible, because I've always wanted to do CoMK. This is what I've come up with so far. Don't know if it's any good. Thinking either Brainrattler or Doryani's Fist for melee, either the Touch or Ice Crash, since the third wave of IC is slow enough to hit a second time on the CoMK cooldown. Also, can I get an invite to the guild for NoperGCMines? If I do this stupid plan, I'll need to bum a lot of gems off people.

The coolest interaction here is that you can use Ancestral Call with Static Strike to get 3 explosions stacked up at once. Wear southbound and you can probably do some ridiculous bullshit with worm flask against bosses.

I was referring to the Ngahamas cyclone with comk, I am not really sure if VD is strong enough to support ice crash or unarmed shenanigans. I wonder how ancestral call works with Slayer's impact. If they work together to create multiple overlapping fields of splash damage, along with potentially overlapping secondary effects, that could get ridiculous.

I bet people were using a brightbeak on weaponswap with static strike and duration increases, stack up the strikes then weaponswap to a much stronger weapon, and the explosions would deal the swapped weapon's damage.

Pretty stoked starting the new season. Came back to the game with 3.0 but didn't much like Harbinger (hardly alone in that I guess) but Abyss sounds a lot like Breach, which is cool. Thinking of picking up Spectal Throw as that skill looks pretty cool on vid. Very likely playing SSF again though, but let's see how that goes.

euphronius posted:Was auction sniping a big deal last league ? Only for the 1%ers who could be bothered to deal with it, but yes you could pick stuff up ridiculously cheap if you ran a bot. It's exploitative and stupid whichever way you look at it, and gave a very small % of the player base way to much control over the market. Nobody should be sad to see it go.
