ggg needs to take steps to make spells more approachable
" so , you bumped a thread just to call some one who said something several weeks ago immature? bravo sir , bravo. regardless , if you aren't a caster , then your say in regards to how much of an influence curses have on spell casters is in a rather dubious spot. people crafting opinions on things while not having a comprehensive understand is , while they are entitled to it, not all that productive to the discussion. its like trying to give a seminar on a topic you learned about 5 minutes ago. and people like you who post on a thread just to call someone out on their manners , is less than worthless to the thread i will not shed a tear for you leaving. begone Last edited by Saltychipmunk#1430 on Jan 10, 2014, 9:09:25 AM

" i have played caster several times and mainly play builds based on elemental damage and know very well the extent of curses , i have been trying to go away from 2-3 which i usually run since nemesis. someone qouting people who just try to be nice in a false manner to make a point is immensely immature. You can keep trying to make ad hominem and strawman arguments , it doesn't change the fact that the guy who wrote that was very immature |

Spell gems shouldnt be so level-dependant. ATM, leveling your spell from 16 to 20 increases damage DRASTICALLY, while taking shitloads of time. And sometimes you even cant find proper spell for sale!
Attack build can just find or craft powerful weapon and have great DPS, while caster cant. IGN: MortalKombat
Molten Strike build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1346504 There is no knowledge That is not power |

pretty much , once my gems hit level 16 , i put them on an alt weapon for my main char and level them to 20 that way.
this is particularly annoying when trying to level up empower gems , which take 10 times longer to level . |

Agreed. My facebreaker marauder did more damage at level 50 than my fireball shotgun scion does at 76. I really wanted to make a spell build that felt fun, but waiting 4-5 right clicks to kill a fire resist mob is incredibly boring.
GGG should just rename the +elemental resist mobs to +75% boring. Last edited by GaryNuman#6720 on Jan 15, 2014, 1:57:54 PM

This analysis is pretty spot-on.
I think particularly the fact that spells scale so poorly in early game (compared to alternative leveling options such as 2H spectral throw) is major a detriment to using them. Penetration nodes on the tree would allow a method for non-discharge spells to do real damage to end-game content. |

Those Cast on Crit builds are a result of it being woefully inefficient to cast the spells in a normal way, either you run out of mana or cant cast them fast enough.
Where are the x% of Spell damage is leeched as mana x% of Spell damage is leeched as life nodes Where is that on gear, there is absolutely no reason why not, why casters get to link mana leech and life leech while physical melee gets teh free ride with a 1c unique belt or some magic ring / amulet.
