0.11.4 Skill Details: Reave

I think the only way to start making claws viable again in comparison to daggers, is if claws get an easy-to-access passive that allows you to get a "vaal pact"-like effect but for life and without the negative effects.

(Either that or a new skill exclusively for claws :/)

ohh damnit! Love you GGG!!! Keep up the good work and best of luck with finishing patch 0.11.4!

Except we added Lightning Thorns to curb attack speed users...lulz

Except you can overcap lightning resist and/or use life on hit/vaal pact/ and/or carry a topaz flask to zones that may have thorns.

If I cant curse or cast blood rage in between the skill is useless. We will wait and see

Very cool, can see potential with this skill.

Dont have a dex/int toon yet, but I got a pair of these!

Like this bad boy?????





this + the claw passives + my warlords cry gives me 28% physical leech applied instantly without the drawbacks of vaal pact.

Really looking forward to this new skill as there really isn't a lot to choose from with claw builds

Yeeah, like that :D. But need to be useful with a stronger claw to be viable at endgame. Didn't even know that type of claw existed, nice.

Especially BR should be easily to keep up, since you won't recast it often, because the style of this skill seems to already prefare to continue to the next mobs ASAP (and kills there will refresh BR).

Curses and Totems are the big question here...

EDIT: the ultimate 5L i see with this skill is:
(for a CI + GR build (maybe + Vaal packt as well))
Phys melee damage + Melee damage on full life + power charge on crit (or increased crit strikes) + increased crit damage -> in this combo it seems quite huge that you don't need a support gem for melee splash
While in a 6L you could add Added fire damage as well since it scales so well with physical damage for the ultimate DPS combo with a still huge amount of leech, or faster attacks, witch should also synergise with this skill (+ Blood rage).

If you can't cast curse/totems/molten shell/bloodrage/leap slam/lightning warp/ etc etc without it resetting it needs to build up FAST.

Personally I think they should completely remove that line from it.

The difference between if it attacks with both or alternates is going to a a game changer as well. Hopefully they just let it be a bit too strong instead of much too weak like incinerate/searing bond.

Melle Skills need to be stronger than ranged. Dps while running to and from monsters 0.0. Meanwhile projectile attacks are killing things the caster doesnt even know are there. Furthermore they don't have to stand next to Brutus/Vaal/every rare with Added (X) damage.

I've wanted to play Melle for a long time. 2x 75+ Duelists. Can't play either without 10+ exalts worth of gear to stay alive.
