Skill Revamps - Part 4

nice changes :)

great news! looking forward to the changes.

one thing, thou:

"

You won't be able to use them as frequently as in the past when killing lots of enemies, but they'll still play a part and have an impact on boss fights.

vaal skills are not single target skills. for boss fights one might want the shock(ed ground) from vaal lightning trap, the frozen ground from vaal ice nova or the benefits of the vaal auras - but from the changes suggested here, their single target damage will remain useless and thus, will not have an impact on boss fights.


but maybe this will be the time for Vaal Glacial Hammer to shine! :D

keep up the good work!

NICE!!

wtb vaal volatile dead :)

LOL, that was asked after Vaal skills release and is reasonable that vaal skill hold native behavior until is not filled up with souls. So many wasted years for players for simple QoL change what was half done from start. I will say "Good Work GGG" if that was done like three years before.

Didn't see this coming..... Nice... Vaal Skills not called Vaal haste or Vaal grace just got a lot more interesting and worthwhile to read.

whats that big black box? im guessing a player and some example of new vaal ls? but i cant see shit or play it :(

I expect that GGG will interfere with game economic again like always they do, and again lower chance to obtain Vaal Gem without any announced information. Before was highest as possible (i assume 99% to become Vaal on LVL20/Q20 gem) I always get them when was possible, so got so much useless "Vaal Spectral Throw" as is possible.

I like a lot of those proposed changes as they make Vaal skills more widely used and more impactfull. There were few Vaal skills used more commonly but they are mostly time-limited buffs (Haste, Grace, Clarity and few AOE clearing skills) so making direct damage dealing Vaal skills viable by enabling them being used with same support gems your main skill would use is great.

I'm not sure if this was already asked in this thread but I need to know:

Are Vaal skills still "corrupted"?

Will soul cost of a skill be affected by support gems attached to the skill?

Vaal skills being currupted is important as these skills will grant also normal version of the skill. You can not add quality to currupted items, which means lots of skills that benefit from quality bonuses will be negatively impacted. This will also cause prices of quality Vaal gems to skyrocket.

Vaal spark back in game? :D

pretty underwhelming an years too late
