19 pages Comments that do not understand the meaning behind "channeling"?


All ask like Incinerate.. but wtf...#


Its not a projectile!!!

It is channeling!!!!!!


There come new support gems for that new type of skills.

Look who's talking... You are the one who doesn't know a thing about these mechanics. Educate yourself before acting like a big shot. Flameblast, incinerate, and wither are channelling skills already. See for yourself: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Channelled_skill

Ok again for you:

Fireball cast 1 proj. with a duration. - if you hold down the key, the skill repeat at the cast duration math.

Incinerate do the same! But the duration is shorter and the damage will increased over time the key is pressed.

Both are Project. So in real there are many proj. that seems like one beam but it isnt a real beam. Only Incinerate got now additional the channeling typ.


The new Skill isnt a Proj. its a real beam I think the type is Area, Spell, Channeling
Its like a small long area spell, that deals damage over time if someone stay in that area.
The Special: you can move that Area by your Mouse.

Its the same mech, like the clound by Vortex , this could cant moved, but the new skill position can move by your mouse.

That mean you can play that DoT Effects more flexible.

totem build incoming :D

No info on whether channeling will work with totems. My guess is no, which would be a shame. This skill on a totem would make flame totems almost obsolete, and we'd be comparing the one socket gem loss to the gain of this disintegrate-like skill's DPS.

Dude, either you read the 2.4.0 patch notes, or you read the wiki, or you keep embarassing yourself, your choice.

"Channeled" can be anything, you can channel a stream of projectiles (Which is what incinerarte does), you can channel and AOE skill (Like flameblast or wither), or you can channel this new skill, which also is an AOE in a straight line.

Learn to read what people write. The channeled skill system IS ALREADY IN THE GAME, the only thing is, that these spells do not yet a "channeled-tag", and there are no passive nodes specific to channeling. Nevertheless channeling has been introduced with the AOW-expansion, the problem is you just didn't catch it, and now you're trying to be a smartass.

Read the link I provided, read the 2.4.0 patch notes, then we can talk again, OK?

Channeling already works with totems, because the difference between channeled skills, and non-channeled skills has been introduced with 2.4 already. Is there nobody here who reads patch notes? You can cast flameblast, incinerate, or wither with totems, and those are already considered channeled skills.

In the 2.4 patch notes there is one big-ass head line saying: Introduced channeled skill system, and it clearly states that wither, incinerate and flameblast are to be treated as such already.
