Without support gems you can cast only 1-2x second.

So for COC you should use support gems with damage increase instead of cast speed.
The same DPS

In addition you can use Elemental Equilibrium with COC. And gloves with curse on hit (curse on hit will be applyed after attack skill hit and before spell hit)

WUT? you are trolling, right?
Cast on crit needs at least 3 gems - attack + coc + spell
Now lets see 3 gems for self cast - spell + echo + faster casting
How can u compare smthn like that?

The COC nerf was well deserved but why did you nerf explosive arrow single target? Frost wall was the only way to kill bosses reliably with EA.

The single spell and speed caps are just devastating for CoC

I keep seeing people saying bladefall got a buff when it actually got a nerf for mines/trappers. Bladefall currently targets the enemy when triggered while other abilities with mines/traps don't work the same way, this made it better than other mines/trap choices.

Also poison took a hit although not a huge nerf it's still a nerf. They also stated poison will be reworked in the next big update.

For people wondering why lightning tendrils isn't including in the channeled spells is because it's taking longer to rework and make it better, one of the devs stated this in a podcast and he said it wouldn't be ready for 2.4 but will be done in the next major update.

For people complaining about the earthquake nerf, the nerf isn't to huge it's still completely viable. Also I see people saying no other melee skills are viable when infect they're quite viable such as icecrash, dominating blow, lacerate, reave, etc. Those are just some of the stronger ones I listed since every ability is still viable.

I suppose the only complaint I can consider valid is the KB nerf with shotgunning on icewalls. I really wonder what plans GGG has for this skill now since what are we going to do with it besides wall our friends in for fun. This hurts many builds actually besides KB and lightning arrow such as arctic breath but at least arctic breath got a damage boost. What I think they're trying to do is get people to use a clearing skill and boss killing skill for builds instead of just using one to kill everything.
KB and lighting arrows still have insane clear speed outside of bosses.

The best part about this patch is all of the tears from CoC players when they clearly started cast on crit was going to be nerfed/reworked.


TLDR instead of whining how about thinking up of some good unique builds yourself.

EVERY second skill has insane clearing speed of mobs. Problems are always bosses. What make OP build OP is just ability to kill boss fast. Every1 can kill mobs with anything.
