Conduit Changes Discussion

Zan, how much conversions for the passive weapon procs in the inquisitor tree? Like the fire/ice/lightning wps

Since i really enjoy playstyles that involve WPS i would really like to see more damage type conversion for those. Personally i would really like to see some aether conversion on nightblade and acid poison on inquisitor.

Amongst the old ones that id like to see the return would be belgothian strike to lighting and execution to acid conversion

Now that I think of it, it would be nice to get some more bleeding love to EoR, in addition to Scion of Crimson Wakes. Rather to push two handed bleeding EoR builds.

Suggestions (basically examples):

  • 100 - 200 bleeding damage per second
  • 2 - 10% ADCtH

+1 to this
While not worthy to be present on a Conduit but it was definitely a neat little mod. Please add it on one of the Witchblade items.

Also this

You can change your signature now :smiley:

There was the runic prefix that converted chilling rounds cold damage to lightning damage. I really like that one for my purifier build. Let’s me use all 3 WPS skills effectively.

This is pushing it, but if it comes back can we change the FX to be similar to the full spread wps.

The reason it’s not used much is that you’re much better off building in a way that they don’t die in the first place. Typically, when you lose multiple skeletons, you’re likely to lose all of them so it’s something you really want to just avoid entirely. It’s particularly bad in the Crucible where dying means losing buffs. The increased summoning rate isn’t even close to enough to compensate for the increase attrition rate of unbuffed skeletons unless you stack every available source, at which point you’re giving up other bonuses which ultimately leads to more dead skeletons anyway.

Things are a little different now with buffed Lost Souls and the Shattered Realms. Lost Souls skeletons are tanky enough to not all die at once, and in Shattered Realms you’re guaranteed to lose some skeletons occasionally, but this conduit can’t be used at the same time anyway.

As for that conduit affix, there are a lot of things that could make it more interesting, conversion to pretty much anything, skeleton tankiness in any form (health, resistances, etc). It’d probably have to be something that didn’t go well with Witching Hour though because that thing is already so powerful.

Makes sense, thanks for replying. I’m assuming that means you’d also want to change the cooldown reduction and increased summon count on the Conduit as well? I agree that this prefix is pretty bland right now.

There is a legendary helm that does that currently. Also adds +25% weapon damage to them IIRC on the set bonus, which is a huge damage up.

Usually is preferable to use global conversion or set bonus,Idk you should waste whole conduit for one wps.

Almost. We still need a cold based heavy armor set but otherwise yeah, cold damage has never been better or better looking. :slight_smile:

Add +1 burst spawn to Blade Spirit to Conduit of Night Whispers. Currently it’s just weird giving only 1 summon limit, let’s make it fancier.

Since i really enjoy playstyles that involve WPS i would really like to see more damage type conversion for those. Personally i would really like to see some aether conversion on nightblade and acid poison on inquisitor.

Amongst the old ones that i would like to see the return would be belgothian strike to lighting conversion and execution to acid conversion.

one of the ones I really liked for arcane wispers was the 15% phys res to arcane will, kinda sad to see that one axed as it was generally useful if you had an arcanist build that didnt need a specific ammy so that was a nice boost to tankiness on a semi-squishy class

I will take one Lich King Set please.

Tbh honest even the cold shield that got added could use some company. “Metallic Ice” or “Frozen Metal” type shield would look badass imo. A metallic shield that has an ancient design but feels like it was partially thawed out of ice.

I like also execution conduit,but with Venomblade helm you don’t need it.For Inquisitor the set adding poison RR to Censure and mod in MI for WPS is the best possible option right now,but your idea is nice.For Nightbalde there is already conduits for convert SS to aether,also aether conduit for RR.

I have one really awkward gripe about the conduits.

If there is a conduit that I can use for a build, I will use it because conduits contain some of the best defensive stats you can get.

Obviously this is HC perspective, but I can’t think of other amulets that beat what a conduit gives defensively, bar kaisan MI/avatar of order/azraaka’s sands.

Wait,there was a conduit with aether to acid conversion to BoD?I missed the opportunity for Fleshwarped strikes With Hunter:rolleyes:

So I missed the maximum acid PRM 'lock.

Any chance we could add “-15%/20% Fire Resistance for 3 seconds to Blade Arc” to this prefix on Conduit of Warring whispers

Build currently looks like this

but I think it could use the extra fire resistance reduction added.

Only x reduced or x% reduced. -x% is for (de)buffs only.
