Echoing everyone else: when you've gone and made the meta all about clear speed, GGG, it seems like a huge misstep to introduce skills that promote staying in the one area.

Thanks Charan, i was about to say that. (actually a similar Thought)

anyways, im in high hopes to see if Icy Orb synergizes with melee cold-based skills. ;)

These skills look awesome, great job guys! :)

Those look great! It should make leveling more fun and faster, as well as adding cool things to use endgame.

I think they look cool and there will be people who use them.

I really like the idea of skills that are not a main spam. To me earthquake looks like something to supplement a 2h build who has an effective short range ability. We have the poison spell interactions, personally i like using more skills together. Adding something like flame totem to most self casters for a good while there was just free money, it earned its cast time frequently. Maybe not for a caster who is completely min maxed on something like Arc, but then youre probably vaal stormcalling, thats your little situational add on. I think more tools in the game like that are a really good thing.

I welcome cooldowns, soul collecting, secondary skills, all these things. If you dont like them you dont have to use them, personally I like them.

wtf are these shit skills?

Expected Frozen Orb, left disappointed. Cooldowns are not cool.

Loving the concept, will definitely use them. I'm having lots of fun with reworked chaos where I cast multiple spells (Essence Drain, Abbysal Cry + Poison, Contagion, Wither Totem) to dominate the battlefield, I'm very glad you introduce similar mechanics to other damage types.

I'll probably use frost bomb. It basically handles the job of spamming ice nova so I don't have to and can then use glacial cascade on top of it. Essentially I could leech off of the bomb and dps at same time with main skill.

The other skill is nice for whenever I tire of glacial cascade and want to swap in arc etc.

Of course blade fall makes every other spell pretty mediocre, but that's how it is.

rolemodels ? state of exile is about Path of exile they discuss their personal views and opinions about the game and invite guests thats all.

And who do you think 'they' are? Oh, yeah. Top profile streamers with thousands of viewers. If you need me to explain why this makes people like Hegemony and Zenocide rolemodels, and why when they act infantile and disrespectful to other players this makes them *bad rolemodels*, I'll be glad to, but I'm going to hope you don't.

By going on their show, GGG staff are just validating the temper tantrums and vindictive behaviour. So sure, if 'all you want' is this or that, that's cool. But don't pretend that's all that matters. Because it's not.

Can I use some of your salt for my fries?
