EPTAww, they nerfed molten strike. I was really having fun with multistrike/ LMP with super overlapping fireballs for like 10x DPS.

Well they nerfed it because if else the only attack that could shot-gun in the game would certainly be OP  . It's already quite strong atm, not sure what's the dmg was back in testing pre-nerf. | ||

They are just showing the creation process, or did I miss something ? is glacial cascade any good? skill looks fun and I haven't played a freeze char in ages Definitely fun for leveling, some interesting mecanics (overlapping AoEs, 80% dmg effectiveness). Building for spell crits and dmg seems to be the self-cast way to go for endgame. Also a good spell to CoC imo, from what I tried ground slam works great for that, I get multiple casts per attack, and it spreads nicely all over the AoE of GS when fighting groups. Also looks sick. | ||

He meant nerfing it during beta I think. Since it used to work a bit different in beta which made it very powerful, an essential shot-gun type attack with increase AOE. | ||

Sorry misphrased, in the original version I would basically have the amount of damage and overlap that I have now with multistrike without multistrike, which would have been hilarious. I'm using a 5 link on a lvl 60-ish templar right now with multistrike, melee dmg, lgoh, blood magic and fire pen. I want to get LMP or increased AOE in if I get a tabula, might end up removing lgoh for another damage support, but it seems ultra effective. | ||

And the damage with point blank, avatar of fire and iron grip is pretty good. But even with conc. and a 1h weapon the projectiles are spread too widely for my taste. I can't see how people can play it with a 2H weapon without beeing annoyed. And increased area is not a very good option imo because you increase the spreading on the projectiles as well. Also the damage gain from point blank will be reduced by increased area. Vice versa its increased by conc effect which makes it a very good choice. Uh? Point Blank has a fixes range and increased AoE probably won't expaned the projectiles beyond that range? And how do 2 handers affect this? Melee Range shouldn't affect the range of the projectiles. | ||

But with increased AoE the spread of the projectiles also feels too big for me. With 2 handers you usually attack less frequently which lowers the chance of you hitting the target with the projectiles, just statistically. Even using conc I would like a smaller spread of the projectiles. | ||

With increased area the projectiles that are travelling farther do less dmg than projectiles that don't travel that far (I guess it was ~43% more dmg with conc and ~30% more dmg with increased AoE caused by point blank).

With 2 handers you usually attack less frequently which lowers the chance of you hitting the target with the projectiles, just statistically. Even using conc I would like a smaller spread of the projectiles. 1. Have you tested that or are you just assuming that? The range is still pretty short even with increased AoE. 2. Well, but the projectiles do more dmg with a 2-hander. But I agree that attack speed scales better with it. It just sounded like it had something to do with Point Blank. | ||

Since you seem to be fucking rolling in it, hit up that 6 red 6l shavs that someone posted on reddit. Your type of build seems the only one that would even concievably use those colors. | ||
