RIP, I was planning on trying out this build, but it seems like they're nerfing Brands according to the manifesto.... Hopefully, they didn't gut it... Time to wait for the Patch Notes


welp..... waited for Patch Notes... now both Brands and Lightning Spire Trap got nerfed.... I wonder how much damage this build lost in total

About 25-30% if my math is not wrong. Not too bad imo.


Yeah, but they also nerfed Lightning Spire Trap, and it seems like a bigger nerf than Storm Brand's.... not sure if it'll as usable for bossing
well seeing as orb of storms got buffed, maybe we can replace Lightning spire with that?
Edit: Does cast speed scale with Orb of Storms' cast speed?

Storm Brand
Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 21 (was 20).
Now deals 2 to 7 Lightning damage at gem level 1 (from 3 to 8) and 75 to 225 Lightning damage at gem level 20 (from 97 to 290).
Now has an added damage effectiveness of 30% (from 35%).

Seems still to be viable, but he may gotta use a different support gem now to mitigate the nerf:

But isn't Lightning Trap not as good for bossing? Used it in betrayal, still had to Lightning Spire Trap to boss
The Crit minimum % is a big nerf too
Acttually POB doesn't take that in account but elemental overload not gonna proc now because we will be at 0% crit
Tell me if i'm wrong there
