Currently taking a break from the game and gaming in general but this is a concept that has always intrigued me greatly. I’m wondering if the skill could be brought to effectively zero cool down. I know Storm Halberd and Ugdenbog Spark-thrower (?) give 1 sec flat CD, so maybe Druid exclusive skill with some cdr affixes on greens could make this work? What do you guys think?
Maybe with “Star Pact” and such but other than that damage output should be lower than transmuted version. Otherwise, you really have found a hotspot to cheese the system.
No, it’s not even remotely possible because %cdr works after -cdr.
So why would anyone play PS without transmuter? Filler skill or nuke maybe? If you built around savagery and cool down PS as AoE/nuke it might work, but it seems it would be rather skill point hungry.
Too expensive to spend +/-50 points for a nuke skill, better to spend them for wps
Not transmuted PS pops out from time to time, for example: [Feedback] The Great Ranged Balance Discussion - #218 by Valinov
A more classic example would be Raka’Jax with 4p Ultos where you have +6 to Shaman Shaman, Level 100 (GD 1.1.9.3) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator and a bit more DoT focus.
