Warcries you say?! How about copy paste some Battle Orders from D2.

would love to see some unarmed love! My favorite builds are all built around those glove, just such a different take on the game. if not, maybe allow a few other gems like molten strike, ground slam or something work with unarmed. I think it really needs some more love. It doesnt need everything, other uni locked builds that can utilize so much more.
How about force push or force punch, can knock back/stun and do damage? or Thunder clap? Punch your fists together and form a frontal cone of blinding damage? Or id even settle for a jazz hands skill; stun enemies with pure confusion due to the surprisingly perfect form of the sparkling fingertips. has a chance to confuse enemies to attack each other.(not to be confused with jedi mind tricks) EDIT: just thought of another one. Throw, Pick up an enemy and throw him at walls/other enemies, this one might be a long shit but kind of cool Or how about round house kick. kind if like double strike but with kicks, and different dmg/abilities. Just throwing ideas out there. Idk, im tired and need to sleep, but would love to see some love to us weaponless exiles! Last edited by BoDanger#2983 on Feb 9, 2015, 1:19:50 AM

ok random thoughts
first of all, new skills - keep them coming BUT atm melee does not need a buff to damage dealt to large groups of monsters, if you are looking to provide melee with extra damage look for options that do so in 1v1ish fights aka vs act/map bosses - you play 78palace everything but the boss is paper tissues, same with vaal temple, same with apex melee would also benefit from a way to reduce incoming elemental damage by introducing more utility gems you are completely killing the chest piece Kaom's heart if it wasn't already dead, if extra sockets continue to gain more and more value, belly of the beast is just a no brainer for a n.1 chest that looks to increase max life cwdt implications are way too many and too obvious, you deal with them :) |

" a) if it works with Enduring Cry (no shared cooldown) - slap into CWDT, because why not b) if it shares a cooldown - vendor Melee (and i mean 'melee' not pseudo ranged/AOE like max-stack reave) has other problems than 'damage' and 'mana' (weird concept indeed) what is funniest is that this 'cry' would work perfectly well on a totem.. you neglected melee for too long. game is now 'ranged/aoe meta' where skills that cannot hit 10 mobs at once are considered garbage. you cannot 'nerf' that (ooo the nerdrage). and melee cannot be buffed up to that level without creating something truly unholy (static strike is so close to that..). and all these 'soft' and 'gentle' buffs-to-stuff-noone-cares-about wont change a thing with release you've created a problems you now cannot work around - CwDT and COC. first one trivialized defences/sustain and entire buff dynamics second one prevents you from creating interesting spells. what half-tested mechanic will 1.4 bring? |

Some efficient "Taunt" ability could be useful. My tank takes no dmg in 75+ non-boss content so pulling enemies from my caster buddies would be welcomed change.
I hope the skill will be easy to automate as manual casting with so much trigger options is not really something i would appreciate. Unless the effect would be very much situational. I represent only myself, my own thought and believes. I am individual, not a representative of the community.
I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me. 3.13 was the golden age. |

while we have you here, rory: i never understood the design decision for trigger support gems to require no mana at all.

Noooo. I already struggle to find space for all the gems I want to use as it is. Stop introducing awesome new skills!

So we turned Gorge into a red map" |

Give us auras for physdmg. I hate to do more than 50% of my damage as elemental dmg.
Would be cool if there would be an oppotunity to go for elementel or full phys and reaching the same numbers like elemental. Probably supporting already the total existing phys dmg with the aura so it cant get outrageous for aura spamming builds like low life. |

" you could be wrong that ggg can't change basic mechanics, think of open beta and how they nerfed race rewards and damage afterwards. and youre right, it's no fun as a static strike char to party up with a arc witch only to leap slam to already dead enemies. but there is a simple recipe against it: buff reflect and give players more control over the aoe of their spells to prevent offscreen deaths. in regards to switch to a new game: a game which isn't supported anymore is dead. ggg is already struggling getting new stuff in the game and fixing broken mechanics (in this order) that i doubt they have the personal power to have a second project running. and i really hope the strategy to release act4 in a big bang instead smaller steps pays out in regards to attract new players and get old players back. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
