You just shoudlnt blast into a vaal cyclone without having an overview of what got pulled then u wont die to reflect.Well, playing flameblast is basically asking to RIP to reflect. You can mitigate the chances of it happening, but it will eventually happen.

Why they only created so gamebreaking items :/ I don't think the staff is that OP tbh. It's strictly worse than a well roll staff/ dual wand / dual dagger dmg wise. The good thing it got going is the 7th link echo, but will that overcome +3 gem rare staff have ? The unique mod mana bonus is good though, but not game breaker imo, since you sack a shield slot. | ||

Agreeing with destiny here, I don't see how it's gamebreaking. I don't see how it's the best item for MoM either since you can't run a shield. | ||

Did they said something about adding Spell Echo as gem? If not, read spoiler ^^' + Show Spoiler + Umm correct me if I presume wrong things, but spell echo sounds like the echoing shrine. If thats true repeated skills would mean you divide your casttime by 3. Thats a crazy dps increase for many spellcaster builds. I can't see why this staff won't be "best in slot" for many selfcasting-type builds. The only limitation right now that I can see is that some builds will be even more out of control in terms of lightthorns; GMP freezepulse with echo; LT reeep. And on a fun note; I really want to see Crit Staff SpecThrow CoC builds with that staff. | ||

The leak version of echo at the time where ball lightning got leak didnt have the cast spd increase, only the repeat casting, so it acted reduce mana. Ofc that's certainly not the version we'll about to have but again, the staff got no crit, no cast spd. Dont think we can say much b4 seeing the stat of Echo support gem. | ||

Well you dont need any extra stats to get the 1/3 casttime. Casting a spell which then gets repeated makes it 3 spells per activation. IF the gem got a heavy dmg reduction and no increases at all it is balanced. Thats why i asked about a preview gem or something ^^ | ||

Which would increase cast spd like mad but less dmg each, so overall increase dmg is only like 1.6-1.8 mulitplier, which is good, but not insane. | ||

If we assume the same progression as multistrike, it'll give 87% increased spell damage, 117% increased cast speed Sometimes you're cruisin' along flameblasting and a random rare with the allies reflect ele damage mod pops up and you get wrecked, it's as easy as that. | ||

The closest comparable thing is Doon Cuebiyari but I'm pretty sure that Spell Echo is going to be much stronger than Iron Will. | ||

Its constantly desynced. | ||

I remember it vividly cause I was on my crit spectral throw character and I could fill half the screen with pizza boxes in one click, but I also remember that if I wasnt doing dmg it drained my mana verrrrrrrry quickly  That staff is absolutely insane. 6-linked, it will probably be the most ridiculously awesomest staff ever. /drool. I like it cause it brings a bit of excitement as to whats on the docket. Gonna be some awesome builds with these sorts of weapons. | ||

I bet it will also get legacy'd after a little while, unless it turns out Spell Echo is really weak. | ||
