Wait..WHAT? I need HP in a CI build?
" You do realize we aren't "beta" players. We weren't invited into some special club. Even during closed beta, we bought our way into the game(not saying it wasn't fair, they gave us back the money in the shop credit, just making a point, i was pumped to buy my way in honestly so I could play). This "open beta" is a soft launch, open beta is normally a month or so long period that is more of a giant stress test, then a time for changes. Online games are always being worked on and changed, that doesn't mean they are in beta forever though. The second they started taking money for microtransaction, this game left the true beta stage. So our job is play whatever the hell we want, even if that is the WTFBBQ build and faceroll the game. Especially if we are paying customers. And if something feels off, we can chose to come here and talk about it, or ignore it if we want. To the matter at hand, I have to agree, that it makes no sense to take stun/freeze/burn chance from a non existent health pool. Even if its what your health pool would be, its still going to be TINY. Even with a potion that removes frozen, you can tap out your potion so quick it wont matter(happened to me yesterday and I dont even have CI). They need to base it off of ES when you take CI. I dont personally use CI, and this is just one more reason for that. |

" No, losing 4% of your life per sec is a BIG deal espacially with chaos dmg DoT and low life. You will run out of potions and die pretty quickly even without being attacked. You also usually want lifeleech or life regen on your high ES not on your low life because of the higher amount. @Devilnaut Sure you can use "on full life" with every build, but with CI you are ALWAYS on full life! A nice example of an ES based melee build is Kripp's Sweep Templar from CB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyCTK5sYT3E In OB you cant have that much ES anymore, but 5k+ should still be possible (wich isnt that bad compared to life) -> Unwavering Stance is a must have at least for melee CI builds.

" Actually, we are beta players. The game is in open beta and we are players. We are players playing a beta game, therefore we are beta players. You are not obligated to provide feedback. You can just play the game. Last edited by ibugsy#7076 on Mar 1, 2013, 1:30:11 PM

" With any build you are always on full life as long as your ES remains up. In a non-CI build, losing your ES results in you losing your 'full life' buff. In a CI build, losing your ES results in your death. I don't think this is an advantage in CI's favour. *Of course, it synergizes to an extent because it avoids chaos damage. But negating chaos damage is still the only true advantage that CI has. Last edited by Devilnaut#7302 on Mar 1, 2013, 2:42:47 PM

" Not a waste if it works. If you can't make CI work, then don't take it. There are other ways to play the game. And that one character made it work. |

Hp Hp everywhere
but really every time i look at a thread about builds or anything its allways stack hp or hp regen but for a ci build to need to stack hp is slightly screwy |
