v1.2!! OMG...ARC-15%....Ice Spear+87% !?

Leap slam still is better in every way. Has no hars weapon limitation. Has movement. Has reasonable area.

What is the bonus of sweep? Knockback on melee? And skill useable with one overpriced unique.. hmm.. ok..

Do i have to tell that knockback has a negative feedback loop for melee? The better you knockback the less hits land as mobs are out of the range..

I lvld sweep to 19 on a purpose built build with sweep oriented weapon and each time i used leap slam for movement i dealt more damage

10% of zero is still zero

True, though it could be that they removed the pre-set 1.15 second attack animation and let it work off weapon speed.

Any info on Incinerate?

What about LMP mana multi?

10% additional base damage (was 75%), staff nodes were made non-shit, hegemony's unique staff will make sweep super strong for crit/coc builds. I'd say sweep will be ok, though I'd be bummed if it's still stuck with only 3% increased phys per level.

Information on the staff please?

Seriously i cant believe the coc NERF, is INSANE! They destroyed all coc builds!

Who is going to use coc now? The nerf of COC is insane....

FROM 50% TO 30%!

Is like a half!

That's a level 1 gem, if it levels as it does currently, then you have 68% chance to cast with a level 20 gem. End result is a (1 - 68/88) ~= 22.7% nerf, not as bad as it may look if you only consider the 40% of that level 1 gem, and still definetly useable. 68% chance to proc is what we had at release of the gem anyway, although without the small delay.

Some ppl have been asking about Ice Nova.
Seems to have received a slight dmg buff.

lvl 10 gem:
