Greetings all,
As I continue to put hours into this great game, I come across more and more item skills I become curious about. I browsed the main Build Compendium thread but haven’t quite come across the idea I have festering.
Is it viable to build a character based on Fireblast, Ice Spike, and Lightning Nova? Or at least one of these skills? Or are these item skills not intended for focus spells or any build?
Thank you!
You can use them but they are more of filler damage skills then main damage skills. They are also good for proccing devotion procs.
See sig, the spellbreaker one
I have a follow-up question. Can you stack multiple pieces of gear that grant these skills to increase the proc chance? For example, gear of the Winter Storm grants Ice Spike which is a 5% chance on attack. If you have two pieces of gear, does that go up to 10% chance on attack?
In my view, these item granted skills are merely used for leveling during early game. With the exception of Shard of Beronoth, a level 50 req melee skill.
Yes, but you can’t proc two of the same weapon at the same time. For example, if you have two Crystallum equipped and you crit, you won’t trigger 2 chain lighting, but only one instead.
In short, this means that you do stack proc chances, but only if they are from not the same items with 100% chance (since only one of them will proc) and, of course, assuming that the cooldown isn’t getting in the way (for example, two of the same weapon with 80% on attack to proc an skill with 15 sec cooldown won’t be much better than using only one of those and another weapon with another proc).
Proc chances works better with high attack speed / DW builds (unless the proc CD is high enough so it doesn’t really matters). Granted skills use a whole different criteria and depends a lot more on other stuff, used mostly for leveling (Battered Shell, Chipped Claw, etc).
What about Aether Tendril? I find it incredibly useful still in ultimate, the only drawback is no devotion proc…
which will be fixed in 1.0.0.4
Empowered Lightning Nova does not reach the loghorrean, why? ability has a radius of 4 meters and the calidor has only 1.5 meters longer. But not the nova to deal damage at all. this is strange.
Sorry for my bad English
my guess is you are standing to far away if you aren’t doing damage with it.
this is not true. I go to the boss as closely as possible. In the end, I’m killing it triggers or it Beronath’s Fury
Loghorrean is the only boss to which the lightning nova does not come
Well then Bug Report it, I Haven’t checked lately as my only Lightning Nova build has many procs so It always looks likes it’s doing damage. But It definitely use to do damage to Log when they first released him. Might have been something they did when they reworked him.
well thx. I started doing builds on component-based. So far, only 3 completed the build. 2 based on the poison bomb 1 based only great faerblast.
It looks very interesting, but it is very are addicted to equipment.
I started doing tank-caster based nova but there were problems with Loggi
and as an example of two video
poison warlock kill loghorrean
Faerblast sorcerrer kill loghorrean
