Warpfire Synergy

Why does a Fire & Aether weapon have +1 to all skills in Shaman when there is almost no support for those damage types with that class?

Why not +1 to all skills in Inquisitor?

Why realy? The only skill with cold dmg on Shaman tree is Wind devil. Cant even call it dmg, lol.
I suggest to change it for +1 Necromanser. He has some cold dmg and could benefit from -aether resist from warpfire.

+1 to this, important items shouldn’t have odd plus skills placement

I beg to differ.

Shaman has the best lightning support in game and there are fairly good devotion and item support for aether/lightning builds.

M. Warpfire fits in such a build.

Don’t get me wrong, i wouldn’t mind if you convince Crate to change it i just think it isn’t necessary.

I think changing it to Inquisitor would still offer effective choices for Aether/Lightning builds since Inquisitor has a mixture of skills affecting Elemental, Aether, and Chaos(Mythical Temporal Tempest affects an Inquisitor Skill). I personally think that Aether/Lightning needs more diverse item support, and not tack on +skills to items that are mainly used for other build styles.

Wut 0_0 Warpfire has zero lighning synergy. You d better pick Wrath of Ascendant for aether or decree for meaningfull conversion. There is aslo a item with aether to lighning conversion.

Yeah, in a vacuum.

But it has serious fire and aether support. (duh)
Fire has synergy with lightning.
Aether has synergy with lightning.
Shaman has synergy with lightning. (duh)

For a fire/lightning Elementalist or an aether/lightning Druid it’s pretty much bis in it’s current state.

And as i said before, i’m no way opposing op’s proposal of changing the +1 Shaman skills to something else, i’m just saying it’s not nearly as weird as you make it look.

I’t just my opinion of course.

Was going to make my own thread for this but luckily I ran a search.

+1 to this as well, this would grant some great synergy for Defilers who currently have poor itemization.

I’m planning a Defiler and they have Mythical Mark of Divinity and Blazeheart. That’s it as far as legendaries go.

On the other hand there are tons of items for Elementalists and Druids.

This seems like a silly argument. Because each of its damage types have secondary synergy by themselves but not together that deserves a +1 skills to that mastery? That’s an awful stretch. It is very much NOT BiS for either of the builds you mentioned as nearly all of its stats are either useless to each build or buff its secondary damage types (cold to fire conversion lulz)…yikes. If any item needs a +skills change its this one, its way out in left field with +shaman.

Any changes for Warpfire in upcoming patch? =) :wink:

I hope so.

On further thought I can see why Warpfire didn’t get +1 to Necromancer. It would be godlike for Spellbinders, nothing else would compare.

Something like +3 Spectral binding would be nice though.

Unlikely. :wink:

Nah, I never seen a burning spellbinder and Warpfire is only good for burning builds. Its a caster weapon with low-aether base, so its kinda meh for weapon-dmg users. I would trade if to Wrath of ascendant at any time. Or for Decree =)
