I didn't notice it did that at first, wasn't until I added Corpse Explosion that I noticed my skelly count occasionally going up. And that is super nice. Torn between keeping the Corpse Explosion now that I have the Darkness skill upgrade for it, or switching it out for Tendrils. Never tried the Tendrils in the pre-season, and I had been hoping the Heart wouldn't consume corpses when triggering the Corpse skill. Though if Tendrils doesn't consume corpses that could still be a good choice. Mostly wanted to leave things to my minions, and throw around Decompose and Blight to beef up their damage.

Tendrils never consumes corpses, so you don't have to choose between that and corpse explosion. Tendrils also triggers vulnerability when upgraded.

… does it trigger the Skeletal Priest if you are already full up on minions? It'd be amusing if we received an inadvertent, seasonally limited QoL improvement like that.

completed chapters 1 & 2, and got through most of Chapter 3, and made it to level 29 on my Druid. I usually dont like leveling battle passes, they aren’t fun, but this one hits all of the right notes.

Watch it for actual data because he goes over how stuff you don't even have on your skill bar is being triggered and synergizes.

I viewed the schadenfreude and lol thanks for convincing me to. I'm still pretty sure that heart has a future in bone spear or will be nerfed because hachi machi it fucks, take a pivotal skill that has an 11s cool down you need to target and then just make it happen for free automatically every 1s?

The task to complete 10 tree of whispers is bugged in our favor. You dropping the box and picking it back up counts as a turn in. Jump on that one while you can since a hotfix tomorrow seems likely.

I got my first ash and unlocked the first tier of the XP buff. Everyone assumed it was 12% because the first tier was 3%. But the 2nd tier is only 2%, so it's probably 10%? Probably not less than 10%.

This doesnt seem like a helpful buff at all? Unless the buff is permanent on your account and stacks with future seasons?

Yeah I'm pretty underwhelmed, but whatever you pretty much get the ashes for leveling and playing the game, so might as well put them somewhere. It's only 100gold for me to respec my 1 ash, maybe it scales up, but probably not a big deal.

Big props to all of you who can stand to play a Necromancer. The visual noise of the skeletons and ugly generic corpse piles with their beams of light littering the screen is too distracting for me.

Pull me out

Sadly, the heart that auto-casts a corpse skill doesn't cast tendrils once a second even if it's the only skill on your bar. It seems to have an internal cooldown of about 6 seconds, separate from the skill cooldown. Still really good though

That's a bummer if true but anecdotally I feel like I see it much much more than every 6s. It definitely casts CE because I got the "use 30 corpses in 30 seconds" achievement the first event I did after equipping it

edit: without using either at all it was entirely procs from the heart

I haven't really been engaging with the malignant stuff other than doing the first couple quests that enable them and killing any random elites I find along the way. Just jumping around doing quests and dungeons and filling out my renown. I just found the heart that chains lightning on crit which doesn't seem super OP but should fit perfectly into my "giant mess of lightning" druid build. Excited to see what else I come across.

It doesn't seem too hard to get copies of the basic rear end hearts, so I'd say pop some of them in your jewelry and try them out, if any of the others are like the Necro corpse consuming one, then they can make some pretty huge differences right out the gate

Yeah socket that poo poo and try it out you can actually get tons of hearts relatively quick and I don't think anyone knows yet which are super rare. Even if they were you'd want a high level version so just go kill poo poo

I think Diablo games have always had some incredible complicated interactions. Of course often you dont know till after it was patched whether it was intentional for it to work that way or not..
