@GGG - Could someone explain why Mjolner is having its cooldown increased? [new 2.6 changes :P]

Hey GGG,

100% lightning damage doesnt make up for 60% LESS damage and life replinish.

Comon GGG who is doing the math in your house?

Mjolner is dead forever, now all i wish to make discharge detached from trigger gems so cospris malice is ruined now too.

Thanks, Xbox One.

Really sad , i never thought about that ,but if is true that mean that mr. Wilson a big liar becase he sad X-Box will not affect PC Version.But i will try anyway Mjolner in 2.6. I have LL Mjolner build and in 2.5 i had really hard time to do t10 maps will see how now will looks like.Odin know the true GGG even he crys aboit his son.

It really is a shame, Mjölner builds were among the best balanced ones while we had them, very endgame viable but far from OP oneshot speed clearing. You simply could do endgame with it.

Also never bought the "performance" argument. 2 years GGG didn´t care that Mjölner was the most stigmatized party item (all map parties had "No CoC/Mjölner" tag), and now all of a sudden it´s a problem, AFTER we get multithreading support. Suuuuuure !!!

And all it takes to make it right again is reducing Mjolner's internal cooldown from 250ms to 166ms allowing it 6 casts per second.

This number is achievable by any self cast character right now in the game.

I will agree with you only (just say Arc) if self cast arc will do more damage than triggered arc or we become another problem who will do self cast arc build if triggered arc stronger. Self cast should be stronger always.

You can go full crit with self cast where with Mjolner you cant. This alone "ensures" that self cast will be doing more dmg.

Not actually correct, as it's 100% increased, not 100% more.

Lets do a quick little calc, where d is discharge base damage and y is your increased damage from other sources.

Proposal: 6 casts/s x d x (1 + y + 1)
2.4: 10 casts/s x d x (1 + y)

Proposal: 12d + 6yd
2.4: 10d + 10yd

Canceling d, you get 6y + 12 = 10y + 10. Then 4y = 2.
So y = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50% increased damage.

Your proposal would be equivalent if you had 50% increased damage from all sources, better from 0-49.9%, and worse with anything over 50% increased damage.

Still not even close to 2.4 level DPS output :(

I know that my proposal is not the damage where it was. Its rather compromise. However this way it will still be able to adjust "performance issues" but at the same time allowing the build to be usefull again. This is to be run together with the new Mjolner mod "100% increased socketed lightning spell dmg".

Is that sarcasm I detect?

When you can easily kill Xoph with a double dip poison or ignite build in less than 10 seconds.
