Support Gem idea
|
Total Focus
Similar to concentrated effect gives 100% more spell damage at level 1 and 138% at lvl 20 basically twice the bonus damage of concentrated effect, spell connected becomes single target and cannot be used with things like chain/fork/LMP. This is basically the reverse of melee splash.

Come on people casters used to be the AoE, now melee have it. So show your love for some single target options for all them wonderful spells.

Yeah I'd love to see some super strong single target abilities.
It's probably my biggest gripe with this and other ARPGs that it a comes down to AoE speed-spam-fest. On a related note, I think that's where map-build diversity may be lacking in that maps often have big packs of mobs, so the more AoE the merrier. I think some map mods that encourage good single target is needed. Tin foil hats are a lie propagated by the aluminium industry.

I want to see this with firestorm. Also the interaction with this and concentrated effect is strange.

"Well firestorm would be interesting to see, though the whole concentrated effect would be similar in how righteous fire would work with it I'd think. 100% spell base + max focus gem = 238% 100% spell base + max focus gem + concentrated effect = 307% would be a 29% increase about the same as added an increase physical melee gem. Of coarse if its being considered a single target for damage purposes then concentrated effect may/should probably not work. Yup I'm full of edits.

I wonder what the folks of GGG personally think about this(hint hint), the good, the bad and the ugly.
If its too far out there some of their input might help fine tune a good idea(not saying this is a good but I like it). |

Looking for more input.

I bump, therefore I am.

Sorry to bash on both of your ideas but you did link the two of them together ;)
You haven't created a Support Gem that applies to a wide range of existing skill gems in a simple manner. How would this idea work with Freezing Pulse? Firestorm? What about Fireball's innate AoE? For example, Concentrated Effect works on anything with the AoE tag in a very intuitive way. It might be an interesting concept but what you have come up with is not nearly developed enough. Also, like your other idea with Cold/Fire/Lightning Penetration gems, this idea already exists in Concentrated Effect without being completely broken and difficult to apply universally.

"I wouldn't worry about the other idea that is more of a fun the giggles thing. As far as this idea goes Perhaps it could be a enhanced version of the current concentrated effect where it simply reduces AoE radius to zero. Since each element has an AoE, fire has firestorm, cold has frost nova and lightning has both shock nova and storm call. Now that I think about it I'm not sure how zero radius would work with those so I'll have to give it some more thought. Still it would be nice to have an actual high dmg single target spell for each element. Last edited by Dravkwn#1191 on Dec 9, 2013, 8:27:51 PM
