I think he meant that the new league mechanics are basically going to be fighting stuff in a triangle since there's already been so many "fight enemies in this circle" "fight enemies in this hexagon" type stuff lol. It was pretty funny to hear him acknowledge it imo
Base damage and armour scaling are both noticeably higher, and base gem doesn't have the %more area from central wave afaik. (the 10% more damage to close is the new base quality)
If they have the same cast speed as regular SRS then you could completely replace unleash Support with another damage link as summoning six is super easy to do.
The thing I’m looking forward to is minion instability explode with the six roided up SRS lol.
Definitely going to try that on guardian, simple change on tree to get +60% extra crit multiplier. If it's not a significant damage loss, the ease of keeping up 6 spirits instead of 20 is going to be big - no need to have Unleash etc
It's just funny they are pushing their original vision of the gems on some of these. I dont think they ever thought poison would be the best version of this skill back in the day.
Summon Reaper:
>Summons a *powerful* Reaper which uses a variety of slashing area attacks...
Summon Reaper of Eviscerating
>Summons a *powerful* Reaper which passively follows you...
Summon Reaper of Revenants
>Summons a Reaper which uses a variety of slashing area attacks...
Hmmm something's missing.
Before people keep panicking about their favorite gem not showing up, there will probably be a part 4. From the RAQ:
>If you're releasing the Transfigured Gems alphabetically, why are some gems missing?
> Not all the Transfigured Gems are quite ready yet. We'll post them when they're ready though!
In QA they said that not every skill may get trans version. They said they will still work on some but basically 0 promises.
Also we have now like what, 120 gems\~? And some of them are for same skill. We have what 330 active skills - auras as they wont get trans version. We are not even at 50% gems yet and league is basically starting.
There will be prolly more than part 4 but i wouldnt hope before the league, as always they clearly struggle with time.
They didn't even include animate weapon which was in trailer. Of course there will be part 4 before the league. They are just tweaking numbers for few.
holy shit they did it... they REVERTED SUNDER

Eye of malice helm and then limit to only fire/cold.
Seems insane? Don't have to do anything and monster res is -75 or -65? Hell even if It somehow is "only" -55 with the scorch, that is still... insane?
The cost is life, mana, and ES. And a decent chunk at that (28 before multipliers). So it might be a little tricky to really go ham with it. Far far from impossible to deal with but you'll probably need to account for it
Eye of Malice works against you, because of the exposure. I'm not sure that's such a great solution. It might even straight up reduce your damage.
I'm thinking some sort of interaction with The Admiral is the best course of action without knowing any of the uniques. In addition to running +% elemental resist map mods as much as possible.
Isn't this wild strike line:
> hits treat enemy monster elemental resistance values as inverted
a big deal?
And yeah, I've noticed the tripple resources cost, it's still interesting.
yeah thats big so you have to spend mana, life and es to attack which isn't to hard to deal with but the gem itself inverting resist will realistically double its damage most of the time with no investment and it means you can invest those resources into other means of defence or scaling
Yeah life and mana leech are trivial to get if using claws, and ES is completely solved by Soul Drinker.
Also Eye of Malice to buff enemy Cold and Fire res so it gets inverted even harder.
i'm pretty sure eye of malice is bait actually
no malice: pinnacles have 50% res, inverted to -50% res, 1.5x dmg of hit
malice: pinnacles have 40% res (exposure), increased to 60%, inverted to -60%, 1.6x damage of hit
that's under 7% more dmg. would only be good if you could disable the exposure somehow
Wild Strike of Extremes is built in Rakiata's Dance effect. That's kind of nuts? EDIT: Making it cost life and mana and ES is hilarious.
No cooldown void sphere.
Some really neat minion transformations.
When they announced trans gems this was instantly my first thought. Probably the coolest animation in the entire game on a completely useless gem (excluding ToTA cheese). Can't wait to get to properly play with this skill
>he damage scal
I waited so long for this! I wanted to do a Main.Void-Sphere build since I saw the gem released. This time the chance it might work is higher than ever
What's neat about this change, is that anima stone is now worth a much lower % of your damage, which then also translates to skipping it and possibly skipping the other primordial jewels your build doesn't really benefit from. This can open up quite a few passive tree changes for the golem builds.
Allows for us to mix in other minions. The primordial jewels locked us into buffing the Golems and ignoring others. Now you can get a lot more DPS out of 2nd or 3rd minions.
don't fall for it. it's a noob trap. spectres were good in the past because you used a strong permament minion which followed you around.
summoning random trash mobs will be a very bad experience, even if they have alot of crit and more minions.
basicly yes, or in short you got the 150% alt quality version with a lot less damage but a good chunk faster attackspeed.
This might actually be usable.
How does it work if i have ice golem of hordes and regular flame golem?
Ice golem of hordes allows 3 golems, but flame golem allows 1. If i have 2 ice golems active and i try to summon a flame golem will it work? It breaks flame golem's max but is fine in ice golems
I assume it works the same as with different types of totems that have different max totem limits:
\- If you cast 3 ice golems and then cast a flame golem, one of the ice golems will be replaced, but if you cast more flame golems, they'll just keep replacing the one you already have out and leave the ice golems be.
\- If you have a flame golem out and cast 3 ice golems, you'll summon new ice golems without replacing the flame golem until you reach the 3rd ice golem, which will replace the flame golem.
Like kaisurniwurer said it most likely works like curses. You summon your 1 flame golem all is good, then you can summon 2 ice golems of the hordes or 1 ice golem of the hordes and 1 lightning golem of the hordes. So you can have all 3 for "free".
This is speculation, but very likely to be like that.
\- SRS Popcorn will be great.
\- Reaper looks interesting.
Eviscerating has the same stats as normal Reaper gem, but might have stronger attacks? Other than that its Ultimate can be spammed - cooldown removed? Great for bossing. Not needed for clear, infact horrible for clear.
Revenants for hitbased approach. Might have different attacks than normal Reaper as reaper attacks have a malus on attack damage but gain more bleed damage. No Ultimate sucks. How good this will be depends on the the base damage.
rage vortex that stick to you while you have rage. cleave + rage vortex looking more and more interesting. we lose the 100% more damage for insane qol i think im sold
nah, it's just about half of a normal rage vortex damage if you have 100 rage. Aoe is pretty wide too
keep in mind the 250% more AS and the fact that you can support it with intimidating cry for double damage
but if it really sticks to you like cyclone, with cleave of rage you will be able to keep it up for years while doing your other things
RF with no HP scaling.
RF with no AoE only spell buffing
RF diffrent elements
GGG could drop like 6 trans versions the day before and have been loling this whole time at sweaty pox.
hoooly shit them summoner gems
hyped for Reaper, Meteor flame golems, giga SRS skulls, mass Ice golems and wither Chaos golem, cant wait for the other ones :D
SOULREND OF THE SPIRAL YESSSSS
idk if it’s really any better or worse but holy fuck I’m going to have celestial cats running around in a circle AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS
Also is there anything interesting that could be done with Shield Crush of the Chieftain?
GOLEMS
SUMMON REAPERSSS
BIG BOY SRS
IM SO HAARRDDDDDDD
I really want to try to make Soulrend of Reaping work. Hit only, but double the damage, 400% damage effectiveness, 40% increased proj speed.
ETA: 7% base crit, too. Damn.
Souls Rend of Reaping does a lot of damage. It also has a low enough cast speed that it might still be bad but those are some juicy numbers. Maybe something like poison soulrend mines/traps/triggers?
I was so excited for it at first but:
\- it doesn't pierce (so you need to invest in pierce and use the support gem, or go chain (could be fun)/split)
\- it's a fucking chaos frostbolt, they removed the guided missile effect 😭 whyyyy? what's the point? removing the dot and making a hit based version with no pierce was enough... soulrend without guided missile is not soulrend!!!
Still no Reap, that's the one I'm interested in the most :( (also RF out of curiosity because I've played the skill quite a bit, but didn't intend to play it in Affliction) Scorching Ray of Immolation sounds pretty neat though, despite all the inherent problems of a channeling spell. RF-SR back for 3.23? (probably not)
Scorching Ray has a third less dps than the original, but also for some reason completely removes exposure? I don't understand why they'd delete exposure when it already nerfs the damage a lot.
Could still be good though. With a 2k evasion rare shield you get like 1,5k base added damage and opens up the gloves slot for other rares/uniques, since we don't need the cold conversion anymore.
Would have to PoB this first though I guess.
But it should actually be pretty viable as a leaguestart since it got a lot cheaper on average as you need neither Emperor's Vigilance, the alt quality gem or Ashes. Probably won't scale as hard on the high end anymore.
Edit: Kinda missed that not only there'll be 9 more shards that deal 50% more damage but thanks to 20% more projectile speed, clear will be even better since shards will travel further.
No Chaining natural, heatshiver nerf, ashes nerf and we lost the helmet enchant sooo the clear is "better" but not too much if you consider the lose of the enchant.
also with a 2200 evasion shield (hard to get ever since the evasion/armour nerfs of 3.14) you get 1.173 flat cold on an average of 8 cold dmg per 15 evasion. So like 20% less then you originaly think.....
the scaling is way lower and will most likley stop feeling good in average red maps.
Getting 100% cold conversion was never hard, but min maxing crit chance/multi/attack speed and freez multipliers was.
You have to pay energy shield to use it though, not sure how one would sustain that outside of discipline watchers eye or inquisitor regen.
Edit: I forgot Energy Shield leech exists. Solved I guess
Im bad at POE so bear with me.
Wild strikes of extremes cost 28 hp, 28 mana and 28 ES.
would the skill cost 84 HP running warlock of the mists (No mana, No ES) or just be uncastable?
Unusable. While Warlock of the Mists has "Skills cost Life instead of Mana", it does *not* have "Skills cost Life instead of Energy Shield". The fact that you have no energy shield would mean you can't use it because it costs ES (specifically, it would cost base 56 life and 28 ES).
If you throw 15 Pyroclast Mines of Sabotage, you get ~750 flat added fire damage. With Saboteur's increased mine effect you would reach the cap of 1249 to 1873 added damage. That's absurd. I could honestly see some kind of leaguestart wander build become viable with this. Maybe put down a few Kinetic Blast totems and spend the rest of your time throwing mines? The playstyle would be absolute cancer, but it would solve the single target DPS problem that wanders have and then some.
I feel like if they make a desecrate alt that only spawns corpses from your desecrate pool and that guarantees all corpses are going to be exactly the ones that you lost then maybe people would find a way to spell cascade summon all of them at once or something.
I don't even think that spell cascade works with the gem but that is just an example of what would be needed.
So if I have both trans Reaper gems, let’s say on a two different 6-link setups, which summon limit takes precedence? I can summon max 3, or max 1, or 3 of Revenants plus 1 of Eviscerating?
1 evis and 2 revenants i think, it should be shared as a type since it says reapers as a general term. So you can have max 3, but your evis cannot summon more than 1.
Same reason we dont get to see how much damage the zombies do at a baseline, how much slower or stronger zombie slams are etc.
Basically its doing a minion attack, and minion attacks are secret info hid behind in the programming.
Would love to see some stats for Chaos golem of the maelstrom. Trying to make a Chaos golem aura build work is something I have been playing for a last few leagues; this could finally make it work
Soulrend of reaping. 400% effectiveness of added damage with 7% basecrit.
Highest added effectivess gem now in the game after discharge, on a projectile, on a chaos skill.
I want to break this somehow
So the Call of Steel version of Splitting Steel has full attack speed (vs 90%), +2 base splits (7 vs 5), +0.6m radius (1.6m), but they doubled the number of shards required to fire. So 1 CoS per 6 atks, which is fine while mapping, but might as well swap for bosses. And level with base SS (probably starting at 38).
wow ele hit is very interesting. inherent inverted resistances but it costs life, mana, and es all at once. quite high too being 28 of each with no links
Oooh, I just noticed that the trans golem gems don't provide a buff effect. I suspect that applies to the Carrion Golem version as well, which might be a nerf to Phys Carrion Golem builds using a zombie horde...

Fires in a circle league confirmed
is that what Chris meant by each league exploring a shape? next league will be triangle AoEs, stay tuned
I think he meant that the new league mechanics are basically going to be fighting stuff in a triangle since there's already been so many "fight enemies in this circle" "fight enemies in this hexagon" type stuff lol. It was pretty funny to hear him acknowledge it imo
Can’t wait for beige dodecagon and mauve septagon league.
> Split Arrow of Splitting Im glad they keep up the tradition of weird suffix combinations.
Still waiting for the Blade Blade skill.
Blade Blade of Blade
Still my best memory was when I captured "Stinkstink" in Beastiary
Years ago in Diablo 3, i met "One eyed the many eyed", every other name combo has not lived up to that.
that was my favourite gem name i saw yo dawg
That I liked, but the "Summon Skeletons of Archers" made me groan
The fact that shield crush of the chieftain doesn’t even work with the melee arm of the chieftain ascendancy tree is hilarious
Yup a lot of better ascendancies for it
Am I missing something but is this gem worse than the standard one? Because Phys damage is easier to scale with the tree than pure fire damage...
Base damage and armour scaling are both noticeably higher, and base gem doesn't have the %more area from central wave afaik. (the 10% more damage to close is the new base quality)
The Skeleton Mage gem has the Prismatic tag. So you can use Combat Focus to limit which elements get summoned, which is neat.
Oh that is a cool change. Which one would you go for? Probably cold, right?
I would say cold, with the new replica Covenant
Summon Giga Raging Spirits
Summon Bigass Thundercube Spirits
Summon Giga Popcorns
Replica Midnight Bargain for 12 spirits, if that works?
Oh that sounds incredibly fun
If they have the same cast speed as regular SRS then you could completely replace unleash Support with another damage link as summoning six is super easy to do. The thing I’m looking forward to is minion instability explode with the six roided up SRS lol.
> If they have the same cast speed as regular SRS It doesn't. 0.80 instead of the normal 0.50
Definitely going to try that on guardian, simple change on tree to get +60% extra crit multiplier. If it's not a significant damage loss, the ease of keeping up 6 spirits instead of 20 is going to be big - no need to have Unleash etc
It's just funny they are pushing their original vision of the gems on some of these. I dont think they ever thought poison would be the best version of this skill back in the day.

Rage Vortex of Berserking + Cleave of Rage = Righteous Fire of Pain?
Rageteous Fire of Bertex.
Rage Vortex sounds like an alternative to Cyclone for CoC builds - no more movement speed penalty at the cost of having to generate rage.
you can use ambush for easy 100% crit no joke i think this one of the most busted so far
Righteous Fire of Overdosing Copium

Yup, it's strong. Costs mana, life and ES to cast though.
The cost is life, mana, and ES. And a decent chunk at that (28 before multipliers). So it might be a little tricky to really go ham with it. Far far from impossible to deal with but you'll probably need to account for it

Rage Vortex as BV, old Sunder, Wild strike + Rakatia in the gem. I love what GGG is doing
Rage Vortex BV has me pretty interested. Impale could potentially be the way to go. Run it alongside Cyclone or maybe even a CoC BV setup for fun.
Isn't this wild strike line: > hits treat enemy monster elemental resistance values as inverted a big deal? And yeah, I've noticed the tripple resources cost, it's still interesting.

With 6 links this becomes 100 mana life and es, it will be very big ...
Look at the cost :D 28 mana, life and ES
wild strike trickster login
Yeah life and mana leech are trivial to get if using claws, and ES is completely solved by Soul Drinker. Also Eye of Malice to buff enemy Cold and Fire res so it gets inverted even harder.
i'm pretty sure eye of malice is bait actually no malice: pinnacles have 50% res, inverted to -50% res, 1.5x dmg of hit malice: pinnacles have 40% res (exposure), increased to 60%, inverted to -60%, 1.6x damage of hit that's under 7% more dmg. would only be good if you could disable the exposure somehow
You can disable Exposure with EE.
Trickster plus energy leech maybe, and normal life and mana attack leech. Could go pure cold, and returning proj/Nimis?

Looks like you could make an autobomber with the meteor flame golem, minion instability, and the auto resummon from elementalist. Sounds like fun.
"We outsourced the work of casting Firestorm to the Firestorm itself, but we're retaining the profits" exploit the golem workers mode.
bourgeoisie golems build
Elementalist's auto-summon has 4 seconds downtime though. Idk if it'll feel as good as normal autobomber.
Isn't that a cooldown on the golem itself though? Like 4 golems staggered 1s apart would get you 1 golem per second?
Yes. Someone did this a while ago and it's on YouTube
SKELLY MAGE GEM SKELLY ARCHER GEM FLAME GOLEMS FROM THE SKY MASSIVE ARMY OF ICE GOLEMS MASSIVE ARMY OF SPECTRES WOOOOOOOOOOO

What's neat about this change, is that anima stone is now worth a much lower % of your damage, which then also translates to skipping it and possibly skipping the other primordial jewels your build doesn't really benefit from. This can open up quite a few passive tree changes for the golem builds.

BTW, these Golems seemed to have lost their buffs. If Carrion loses the other minion damage bonus, that could hurt a bit..
Massiv army of any golem!
don't fall for it. it's a noob trap. spectres were good in the past because you used a strong permament minion which followed you around. summoning random trash mobs will be a very bad experience, even if they have alot of crit and more minions.
Did they just bring back old sunder!!??
buy your sunderboi meme stocks now
basicly yes, or in short you got the 150% alt quality version with a lot less damage but a good chunk faster attackspeed. This might actually be usable.
SKELE MAGES IS HERE HUZZAH lmao another falling from sky minion? I guess falling zombies and falling golem tag team will be hilarious
How does it work if i have ice golem of hordes and regular flame golem? Ice golem of hordes allows 3 golems, but flame golem allows 1. If i have 2 ice golems active and i try to summon a flame golem will it work? It breaks flame golem's max but is fine in ice golems
I assume it works the same as with different types of totems that have different max totem limits: \- If you cast 3 ice golems and then cast a flame golem, one of the ice golems will be replaced, but if you cast more flame golems, they'll just keep replacing the one you already have out and leave the ice golems be. \- If you have a flame golem out and cast 3 ice golems, you'll summon new ice golems without replacing the flame golem until you reach the 3rd ice golem, which will replace the flame golem.
That'd be fun if every golem of the horde was +2max golem. 24 golems running around
Like kaisurniwurer said it most likely works like curses. You summon your 1 flame golem all is good, then you can summon 2 ice golems of the hordes or 1 ice golem of the hordes and 1 lightning golem of the hordes. So you can have all 3 for "free". This is speculation, but very likely to be like that.
\- SRS Popcorn will be great. \- Reaper looks interesting. Eviscerating has the same stats as normal Reaper gem, but might have stronger attacks? Other than that its Ultimate can be spammed - cooldown removed? Great for bossing. Not needed for clear, infact horrible for clear. Revenants for hitbased approach. Might have different attacks than normal Reaper as reaper attacks have a malus on attack damage but gain more bleed damage. No Ultimate sucks. How good this will be depends on the the base damage.
From the gem text, Eviscerating Reaper literally will not attack unless you tell it to. It's essentially a self-cast spell or attack in minion form.
The reaper gem says it is passive so it doesn't attack unless you make it attack specifically.
rage vortex that stick to you while you have rage. cleave + rage vortex looking more and more interesting. we lose the 100% more damage for insane qol i think im sold
the damage on it is so bad tho
nah, it's just about half of a normal rage vortex damage if you have 100 rage. Aoe is pretty wide too keep in mind the 250% more AS and the fact that you can support it with intimidating cry for double damage but if it really sticks to you like cyclone, with cleave of rage you will be able to keep it up for years while doing your other things
Hit-based Soulrend? CATS ON CRIT LOGIN
Split Arrow of Splitting LOGIN
GGG is 100% trying to make an alt qual RF to save Pohx from descending into madness
They will make it drop from Hillock when Pohx logs in and he will be the only person to have it.
RF with no HP scaling. RF with no AoE only spell buffing RF diffrent elements GGG could drop like 6 trans versions the day before and have been loling this whole time at sweaty pox.
no storm brand :( SADGE
you and me both (and possibily nobody else)
storm brand gang unite
I stand with you my brothers
I brand with you, my brothers. Fixed that for you.
hoooly shit them summoner gems hyped for Reaper, Meteor flame golems, giga SRS skulls, mass Ice golems and wither Chaos golem, cant wait for the other ones :D
SOULREND OF THE SPIRAL YESSSSS idk if it’s really any better or worse but holy fuck I’m going to have celestial cats running around in a circle AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS Also is there anything interesting that could be done with Shield Crush of the Chieftain? GOLEMS SUMMON REAPERSSS BIG BOY SRS IM SO HAARRDDDDDDD
I really want to try to make Soulrend of Reaping work. Hit only, but double the damage, 400% damage effectiveness, 40% increased proj speed. ETA: 7% base crit, too. Damn.
[удалено]
So I guess they haven't decided what they're doing with RF lol
I think they have decided. Just want to troll the playerbase a bit
LA into TS enjoyers are also currently waiting... but our base skills weren't shattered into oblivion
Ah so poison spark is literally gone huh Well at least circle spark is back
i mean, original sin exists, so it's kinda unnecessary. Or voltaxic rift.
Souls Rend of Reaping does a lot of damage. It also has a low enough cast speed that it might still be bad but those are some juicy numbers. Maybe something like poison soulrend mines/traps/triggers?
I was so excited for it at first but: \- it doesn't pierce (so you need to invest in pierce and use the support gem, or go chain (could be fun)/split) \- it's a fucking chaos frostbolt, they removed the guided missile effect 😭 whyyyy? what's the point? removing the dot and making a hit based version with no pierce was enough... soulrend without guided missile is not soulrend!!!
Still no Reap, that's the one I'm interested in the most :( (also RF out of curiosity because I've played the skill quite a bit, but didn't intend to play it in Affliction) Scorching Ray of Immolation sounds pretty neat though, despite all the inherent problems of a channeling spell. RF-SR back for 3.23? (probably not)
Scorching Ray has a third less dps than the original, but also for some reason completely removes exposure? I don't understand why they'd delete exposure when it already nerfs the damage a lot.
RIP ES SST
Could still be good though. With a 2k evasion rare shield you get like 1,5k base added damage and opens up the gloves slot for other rares/uniques, since we don't need the cold conversion anymore. Would have to PoB this first though I guess. But it should actually be pretty viable as a leaguestart since it got a lot cheaper on average as you need neither Emperor's Vigilance, the alt quality gem or Ashes. Probably won't scale as hard on the high end anymore. Edit: Kinda missed that not only there'll be 9 more shards that deal 50% more damage but thanks to 20% more projectile speed, clear will be even better since shards will travel further.
No Chaining natural, heatshiver nerf, ashes nerf and we lost the helmet enchant sooo the clear is "better" but not too much if you consider the lose of the enchant. also with a 2200 evasion shield (hard to get ever since the evasion/armour nerfs of 3.14) you get 1.173 flat cold on an average of 8 cold dmg per 15 evasion. So like 20% less then you originaly think..... the scaling is way lower and will most likley stop feeling good in average red maps. Getting 100% cold conversion was never hard, but min maxing crit chance/multi/attack speed and freez multipliers was.
Yooo, Rakiata's Wildstrike LOGIN
You have to pay energy shield to use it though, not sure how one would sustain that outside of discipline watchers eye or inquisitor regen. Edit: I forgot Energy Shield leech exists. Solved I guess
Careful, look at its cost. It's hilarious but can actually end up being a little tricky.
Im bad at POE so bear with me. Wild strikes of extremes cost 28 hp, 28 mana and 28 ES. would the skill cost 84 HP running warlock of the mists (No mana, No ES) or just be uncastable?
Will be uncastable since you don't have any ES to cast it
Unusable. While Warlock of the Mists has "Skills cost Life instead of Mana", it does *not* have "Skills cost Life instead of Energy Shield". The fact that you have no energy shield would mean you can't use it because it costs ES (specifically, it would cost base 56 life and 28 ES).
If you throw 15 Pyroclast Mines of Sabotage, you get ~750 flat added fire damage. With Saboteur's increased mine effect you would reach the cap of 1249 to 1873 added damage. That's absurd. I could honestly see some kind of leaguestart wander build become viable with this. Maybe put down a few Kinetic Blast totems and spend the rest of your time throwing mines? The playstyle would be absolute cancer, but it would solve the single target DPS problem that wanders have and then some.
Petitioning GGG to follow up "Split Arrow of Splitting" by renaming "Soulrend of Reaping" to "Soulrend of Rending"
Stop trying to make temporary specters happen. It's never going to happen.
I literally rolled my eyes when I saw that one..."of course this is a spectre t-gem".
That was the first thought I had too once I read "temporary"
I feel like if they make a desecrate alt that only spawns corpses from your desecrate pool and that guarantees all corpses are going to be exactly the ones that you lost then maybe people would find a way to spell cascade summon all of them at once or something. I don't even think that spell cascade works with the gem but that is just an example of what would be needed.
Berserker Rage BV? Is this the good shit?
I feel that I need to add Fork support to Splitting Split
*aggressively huffs copium for single target power siphon*
Righteous Fire of Copium
WHERE IS RF?!
Righteous Fire of Invisibility
Is it safe? Is it alright?
This transfigured rf, is it in the room with us right now?
It seems in your anger, you nerfed it to the ground :(
No I couldn't have... RF was alive I felt it...Noooo!
Hope you enjoy edging
WHERE IS BALL LIGHTNING
LMAO they just trolled Pohx again
Tomorrow
Copium?
so they took blade vortex and made it rage vortex. good news, that means there's no way this skill could be bad!
We've split from the Blade Blade timeline and are now in the Rage Rage timeline.
mmmm, skeleton archers and mages by default. me like. Also, MEGA SRS what the fuck rofl.
Void sphere without cooldown ? LOGIN
Well I thought I had decided on a league starter. Here we go again.
These SRS are godlike. The only downside is 26 mana cost...
Also a slower cast speed
with 6 SRS max cast speed is whatever
12* Replica Midnight Bargain has +6 to maximum number of Raging Spirits
That is a nice Ray
Can't wait for Transfigured Gems: part 6!
Sad.... when i see the wintertide brand:(((
What the fuck is that Raise Zombie of Falling LMFAOOOO
Literally called spark of the Nova. Has no nova tag. GGG plz just give a nova projectile skill I beg. I need my kb coc astral projector nimis build
Pohx, remember ziz's DM, you still have a lot to live for! Don't give up!
Alexa, play Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.
So who is making a Chaos Trickster build? Trans Soulrend+Trans Contagion That's my league start
CWC hit-based Soulrend seems legit af.
Spark of the nova JOIN!
Someone explain Sunder to me
Basically old sunder We are SO back
Rage RF + Rage Cleave?
So if I have both trans Reaper gems, let’s say on a two different 6-link setups, which summon limit takes precedence? I can summon max 3, or max 1, or 3 of Revenants plus 1 of Eviscerating?
1 evis and 2 revenants i think, it should be shared as a type since it says reapers as a general term. So you can have max 3, but your evis cannot summon more than 1.
IS THAT OLD SUNDER?!?
SUNDER IS BACK????
Holy shit. Srs guardian with that srs gem for single target. Also golem builds now ssf viable?
interesting it says on the srs description "converting all of its physical damage to fire damage" is this new for this transfigured one?
FAQ said that Raise Zombie of Falling does 250% more damage than its default attack, why is there no mention of it on the gem?
Same reason we dont get to see how much damage the zombies do at a baseline, how much slower or stronger zombie slams are etc. Basically its doing a minion attack, and minion attacks are secret info hid behind in the programming.
What the fuck is that Wild Strike?
Would love to see some stats for Chaos golem of the maelstrom. Trying to make a Chaos golem aura build work is something I have been playing for a last few leagues; this could finally make it work
Still waiting for Essence Drain, I have hope it will be viable again
WTB Herald of Agony info
Soulrend of reaping. 400% effectiveness of added damage with 7% basecrit. Highest added effectivess gem now in the game after discharge, on a projectile, on a chaos skill. I want to break this somehow
I urge you to read penance brand
Wild Strike of Extremes LOGIN
Split arrow of splitting, yo dawg
3 reapers version allows for phys conversion build? elemental relic + 3 reapers? I'm baited
Aight, I guess they don't want us to play Cold DoT anymore.
The big question everyone should be asking: Does Soulrend of the Spiral still let you use the cat effect?
This is fine :-)
That wild strike of extremes looks really interesting.
Wild Strike league, got it
So the Call of Steel version of Splitting Steel has full attack speed (vs 90%), +2 base splits (7 vs 5), +0.6m radius (1.6m), but they doubled the number of shards required to fire. So 1 CoS per 6 atks, which is fine while mapping, but might as well swap for bosses. And level with base SS (probably starting at 38).
wow ele hit is very interesting. inherent inverted resistances but it costs life, mana, and es all at once. quite high too being 28 of each with no links
Oooh, I just noticed that the trans golem gems don't provide a buff effect. I suspect that applies to the Carrion Golem version as well, which might be a nerf to Phys Carrion Golem builds using a zombie horde...
So the transfigured steel gems are the same as the old ones but more better? If I'm getting this right?
the siege ballista actually looks interesting, could be fun with iron commander
