New Support Gem Reveal - Blasphemy
as much as i love to see that..
if there is no bigger drawback then 25% mana reservation on using it as an aura it will probably change the meta by a big time. especially for charge generation. any kind of discharge build will be even more OP for clearing packs. in my opinion there should be something like 50% curse effectiveness on lvl 1 and maybe, just maybe u shouldnt be unable to generate charges with that thing. Doedre's Scorn? cheeses.. random OP 4/5 curse RF Discharge build...? Warlords Mark, Assassins Mark, Ele weakness, Vulna (Flammability). RF Cyclone Cyclone - CoMK - Culling - Discharge - AOE- BM and thats the cheap version, just imagine what a fakener could do ^^ maybe i'm overestimating :P Last edited by TheVoid#2935 on Nov 9, 2015, 2:30:40 AM

" Actually, the OP specifically said aura effectiveness would -not- work with aura curses. "The curse is applied as an aura around you, affected by both your curse and aura radius increases. It is not, however, affected by Aura Effect passives, as these will now only apply to friendly auras." |

I smell curse rebalancing

" Agree, dont think it will either so kinda meh and not a direct replacement of arctic armour like some are saying... |

" Enter curse immune mobs |

" Which all curse-dependent builds already avoid or have some workaround for anyway. Blasphemy will allow for the main skill to be more powerful though since it won't require linking to other Curse support gems. Last edited by Jackinthegreen#3344 on Nov 9, 2015, 2:34:40 AM

woow very nice idea

" the problem is: curses are WELL balanced if you self cast them and broken if you use 2 of them with an automatic mechanic like heralds of ice or blasphemy were you dont need to click anything to curse enemies and can curse 90-100% of them. (herald of thunder you curse 10% of the monsters and not 90%) if curses are nerfed, for a melee char, herald of ash is much better than blasphemy with 1 curse so blasphemy will become an useless gem i guess except for supporter, but still atm a char built with 4-5 curses is better than a char with blasphemy+nerfed curses. so all i see is a broken mechanic that will probably cause nerfs around and massive disappoint at the end Last edited by InAshesTheyShallReap#0055 on Nov 9, 2015, 2:43:47 AM

As a solo player I love this support gem. Feels much more efficient to me to mass debuff monsters then to self buff with auras. If this turns out to be true or not remains to be seen. For now I am hyped.
