By the way, why are a lot of players acting like they have to follow the meta when they have very little chance to be at the top anyway ? It's not like you're Havoc who played Flameblast prolif in every league and race for like a year. Even more stupid, why are people complaining about build diversity then complaining when a new skill doesn't follow current standards ?

Because this is Grinding Gear Games, where the game is about grinding for gear and if you're slow in grinding, you don't get much gear and if yon't get much gear, you are very limited on your build and late game viability.

yes, playing standard with legacy items and not participating in new leagues with fresh economies or races is an answer to that. But you miss out on the cool new content and when you stay poor due to slow grinding you simply can't afford many of the fun builds possible.

Sexy color but still the poison data dsnt explain about how will changes affect to positive.

Nice !!
Can't wait for a bunch of new skill, new uniques and more !!

The skill mechanics seems fine but the circles in the video...they look so trashy, they don't fit the general art style of PoE, imho.

Exactly what I though. The circle thing looks way too generic for a virus-skill. There are super-cool magnified images of viruses, cancer cells, bacteria, anything you want available online to get inspired; why GGG, why? Seriously, when you think about a contagion spreading that's how you see it?

/edit - ok I see it now, it's a giant bacteria... which is still ridiculous because it's a giant bacteria. It's just copied and scaled up.

/edit 2 - something like this would be way better (not the blured background, just the violet circular vector patterns)

/edit 3 this is so frustrating, so easy to make it look awesome. Just copy the pattern above in the chaos violet and make it fade out from centre to borders to black, then disappear, same animation time. Overlapping patterns from numerous triggers will make it look... sick, and give an impression of a disease with actual focal points of spread within a population. Seriously, it's super easy.

You're awesome GGG, best devs ever, but honestly your art direction dropped the ball an this one.

This looks very promising! Nice work

liked that ebola skill

Waiting to praise or damn this skill once I have a chance to try it out. Having said that, there's a long history of releases that fall short of the hype and anticipation, so I can't say I'm terribly optimistic. We'll see.
