characters often have no or very low resistance to chaos damage.

is the same true for mobs and bosses too ?

do bosses and mobs have low or no chaos resistance ?

Mostly Chaos resistance is half of that of elemental resistance, unless the boss is of Chaos type!

Maybe finally a great use of chain support. Damn, I wish we could get lower camera angle views so we can see farther ahead.

I don't think Chain will be useful in this case.
From description i understand that skill already will chain through all skeleton around you, be it 1,2 or 36.
So the more skeletons you have the less effective +2 chain will be!
36 chains at 100% power or 38 chains at 69% power?!

Better spell echo! It would work WITH and WITHOUT skeletons!

Only question how much it eats HP, and hot to sustain it?!
Regen? Leeching? And what Ascendancy and Class take for that!

As it depends on HP, it is better to have it more for higher regeneration rate!
Maybe going pure Strength with Iron Will support gem!

This is like RF builds, more HP = more survivability and damage at same time!

Looks really cool, I'll try it out.

This is basically a big giant fuck you to blizzard.

Blizzard is too focused on Overwaifus and Hearthstone being their poster boys of their genre. WoW and SC2 are still being milked. D3 is like HOTS, still being played by someone.



I wonder how this skill will pan out in end game. Seems interesting at the moment.

There has been good evidence bliz is actually focused on D4 with the new team they are putting together. GGG needs to enjoy the high right now as much as they can because winter is coming - and they know it.

Excited to see what they do with melee skills.

what u mean winter dont come till december. OHH i get it. you talking about like when the snow comes we gonna be sitting at home playing diablo 4. i got cha.

It can't be used on zombies? I'm kind of disappointed ):

i just hope youll nerf Necromancer a bit - it is pretty dumb

Why nerf the necro? Aurabot necro already got hit with a nerf with the changes to AoE. Necro isn't strong because of the ascendancy itself but the skills and gear people use. Even if the necro itself wasn't chosen people could still make strong minion builds on other ascendancies. (Just look at Golem Ele) That's just how good minions are. It's not like Raider which grants frenzy charges out the arse or Sin which grants uber crit. It is fine as it is and doesn't need any real adjustment. Hell, the Occultist was much more popular for a long time due to the high survivability and easy power charge gain. It's only thanks to the 33% ES nerfs that Occultist will lose a lot of players in 3.0.

Commander of Darkness is DUMB. it is BROKEN. the bonus you get from your auras is multiplied by the aura effect you have. it is ABSURDLY strong.

it has nothing to do with minions (but it ofc affects them too) but it is so dumb that i doubt there is a single one lvl100 that got there without Necro support.

100% increased attack/cast speed and damage? why not!

Diablo 4? It will make big money up front but nothing in the end, it will be as dead as D3.

looks aigh

So it looks like that it only chains 2 times, at 9-10 seconds into the video it seem to not chain to the 4th skeleton what dose anyone else think?
