The problem with damage over time skills is that this game is all about clear speed, so waiting for it to kick in is slower than just focusing on hitting harder. The idea of having a skill that spreads is pretty cool, and hopefully can circumvent this issue.

yeah, we already have some rubbish degen chaos skills: desecrate, abyssal cry

maybe its strong early game so its a lot of fun leveling with it?
that'd be nice

NIIICE another reflect immune build incoming

Hot it is possible that spell damage affects it? Does it mean that it hits? Does it mean DoT damage mods have no effect on it? or Does it mean a revolution in core damage mechanics?

Meh. Would rather see the majority of the terrible skills, i.e. spark, fireball, arc, freezing pulse, etc. buffed.

Yeah, i agree! Lots of skills need attention in PoE. Kind of in a bad spot.

This just looks like a curse.... could have been made a bit more interesting lol! Let's see how it works.

When the FUCK will they ever buff Lightning Strike so you don't feel like killing yourself for even thinking about using it..?

Also this skill looks awful a lot like the "Ignition" Skill I suggested, actually it's a straight copy+paste, but Chaos Dmg. There was even a Dev in the thread, seems insanely fishy to me.

I like it.
This can potentially be a good support skill.
Im really looking forward to the poison changes.

lol, i can imagine:

contagion + concentrated effect + IAOE + curese on hit + vulnerbility + temporal chains :)

This might actually get me back to POE. Damn it GGG stop adding cool content !!!
