i wonder if making it more global lightning dmg would work, could be an interesting hybrid spell attack solution.

" It should probably be just for the socketed gems, otherwise people might just use it as a stat stick for lightning blade flurry or something, if it was that solution. I'm hoping to get some kind of design intent statement before we talk about how the item can be 'fixed'. @poedeadmengele 2.4 state of Mjolner was fine (as in workable, usable, and not broken, from a balance perspective. The item was balanced in 2.4, IMO). If we go back to that earlier state the item will most certainly be extremely overpowered. It seems like you're rooting for a version much more like release of the item. Theorycrafter/Build Creator for PORTAL guild

The cooldown changes were primarily driven by performance concerns. The change intended was vs the rate of hitting. It was not aimed at Discharge.
We realise these uniques are not in the right place after these changes were made. The balance team (a combination of specific designers and QA) was under a reasonable pressure to pick a right answer for 2.5.0 in a short period of time. (For those looking to blame someone, feel free to assign it to me for putting undue time constraints on the balance team.) From here, we may make changes to these uniques in upcoming leagues, or changes related to the mechanics around them. I am not sure exactly when this will occur but it's likely to be in the first half of 2017. However, rebalancing every unique that is associated with a specific build is not something we want to do every three months. While we do make sufficient assessments ahead of time, we can't fully assess what a league's meta-game will look like. (And if we could it would likely mean we haven't made the game interesting enough.) Some item-centric builds will wax and wane with other changes. In some cases we may make the wrong call on changes to specific items. We will not be making any changes to these cooldowns or related values within Breach league. For Discharge specifically, we'd most like to see its primary use as a self-cast skill. We likely won't make any changes in this direction until 3.0.0. | |
" I won't say anything about mjolner, cuz personally i don't mind it much atm (still feels fine for clearing, though it's not great for bosses... that's what other skills or weapon sets are for). However, about discharge being oriented around self-cast... a good start would be to make the cast time and manacost remotely usable. The skill's got a longer cast time and higher manacost than pretty much any other spell in addition to it requiring charges; it's like it was intentionally balanced to PUNISH self-cast as it is now.

" Thanks for the response Qarl. I'm happy to see that you guys realize Mjolner is not in a good place after these changes. Looking forwards to seeing the rework and planning something around it, if that is indeed the case. If you guys really don't want discharge to be the target skill of Mjolner, there needs to be more impactful lightning skills. Looking at the current meta, it's pretty plain to see that fire and physical/chaos casters rule the day. And the ones that are using Cold or Lightning spells for the most part are just converting them to fire. Hopefully we can see some high base cast time high damage lighting skill come out in the future that will give Mjolner a use again. Thanks again for the response Qarl. -Savage Theorycrafter/Build Creator for PORTAL guild
