Gorgon gaze first test review...pvp and pve.

SO i tested this.
I think the helm drop 100% chance when you run the map (pillar)

-The gorgone statue cooldown is 30 sec
(cooldown recovery effect like with the unique harbinger belt reduce it (got 25.21 sec with my 16% version of the belt)

-It petrify people/mob (even in pvp), it last what seems like 0.5 sec at base duration and maybe 4 sec with level 20 inc duration+efficacy. however if in pvp the player move away from the ray, he will not be petrified at all, just slowed.


- the statue does not turn or move unless her rays already "hit" something.
So you need to cast it right front of your target ( but she can cast multiple rays front of her on pve mob)

-The statue range is super shit like 2 step away in pvp (lol),in pve range is a cone like multiple rays.

-the statue auto attack once casted even when none is around ( so can pre-cast it i guess).





Usage:

IT seems you can petrify Bosses, at least low level ones. I did it with Izaro normal and vaal oversoul normal.



Slow bosses like vaal oversoul are the best type, other will not be able to be taken by the effect easily, even Izaro normal It took me 5 good minutes to catch him with my level 90 toon.

(might be possible to petrify Atziri? I would need a set to test.)


Vs pack mobs if they are quick, it will just slow them, so it will be pretty useless 90% of the time.

*note that the mob or boss do not seem to ever target the statue.

*A10 kitava can t be petrified



brine king petrified


Vaal oversoul in first act petrified




screenshot of the effect on multiple mob in merciless. None were actually petrified because they moved too much, it seems petrification only occur if your target stay in the ray the whole duration. If not they are only slowed:(



petrified pve mob. They are quicker petrified with faster casting.

Support:

faster casting: increase cast speed of ray, make it Wayyy quicker to petrify.
Efficacy: petrification duration is longer maybe 5sec on mob with inc duration and efficacy.

Swift affliction seems to work on it but I guesses it would have actually lowered to petrification time.

So best links are: inc aoe,inc duration,efficacy,faster casting
