Skelecross, what's wrong with having options like that?

They're run-on-the-mill skills. All are common, there aren't any "wow" abilities.

Group A:
a> strike
b> arrow

Group B:
1> fire
2> ice
3> lighting

1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b...

I think it's better to have 50-60 original skills, than 100-120 "copied" skills.

I would like to see more support gems than base skills.

Also Burning Arrow looks additionally weird. We already got one fire based arrow skill - Explosive Arrow. What's it supposed to be? One target fire arrow skill and multi target fire arrow skill?

There are elemental skills for melee, magic and bow users, what is wrong with that. So you dont want Bow users to have other options?

YOu havent even seen the skills in action and you are complaining. This is exactly why they didnt want to post patch info, because guys would start complaining about something when they havent even tried it yet.

Lets just wait and see how the skills work and then we can judge.

I like to see other options for bow users, but I want more combining skill gems with support gems, not having similar base skills. Of course, we need some base skills, but I believe we don't need all posssibly variations of elemental skills, because we can make elemental skills by support gems like "Added XYZ Damage".

It isn't critic for one or two announced skills in this thread. It's critic for idea of making all variations of elemental based skills.

Text about "Burning Arrow" isn't supposed to be in critical form. It's only "thinking aloud".

And ok, I will wait.

I'm sorry if my posts in this thread offend someone.

This update sucks, and the game sucks, now I gonna fall all my exams in next few weeks. Thanks you very much devs.

Edit: What does the last skill do? Looks like raise zombie to me, but we already have that skill.

ack.


And I add: the 3 skills first mentioned are all melee only, now they add similar options for ranged weapons - I can only congratulate on this decision!

(the only elementary skill for bows/wands until now was the general 'elemental hit' with a random based effect...)

Yes, and Explosive Arrow it's a mace only skill. xD

Awesome visuals there ! Congrats once again for the hard work guys, your works smoke actually !

Will be waiting for patch notes so hungrily.

@Chris: if only you could reply my last message.
