Nice!	Posted by Cere_89#1168 on May 2, 2018, 1:28:23 PM Quote this Post
This sounds very promissing. I can't wait to test the new Vaal Gems! :D Any news on non-offence skills like Vaal Haste and Vaal Discipline? Plus, will there be more Skills having a Vaal version? This can be the new dawn of an almost forgotten game mechanic! Thank you very much! Let's explore new playstyles - Play it your own way, not just like the others.

I can dig it. Elementalist vfb should be a good mapper.	Posted by codetaku#0468 on May 2, 2018, 2:02:48 PM On Probation Quote this Post

Nice changes, will be cool to see Vaal skills making a comeback since you pushed them off the side of a cliff :P	Posted by X902BOSS#3014 on May 2, 2018, 2:24:28 PM Quote this Post

You are correct, presumably from the lvl21 skill gem card you can then get a 1 in a million shot at also getting 20% quality randomly and then an extreme case of it happening to also be a vaal skill. I was wrong and you were right. However there is 1 for sale in the entire game and its groundslam, so essentially in practical terms they dont exist so any problems ppl have relating to 21/20 gems remain as if it were impossible to get them as theyre probably over 100 times rarer than a mirror and then that is multiplied by the amount of different potential vaal skills, leaving ur chance of getting the specific one u want probably about 10,000 times rarer than finding a mirror. You know why? Because atm they are worthless. I got 21/19 vaal rf in bestiary, ive vendored it for vaal orb. Thats how most of them end up. Nobody sells them because nobody wants them.

" Bex_GGG wrote: •The Ancestral Call Support can no longer support Vaal skills. The same is still true of Multistrike Support and Spell Echo Support. This is something we'll reassess in future, but at the moment duplicating Vaal skill effects causes too many technical, performance and balance problems.! So if one links the Vaal gem with one or more of the above mentioned support gems will the normal version of the skill receive the support(s)? For example, if I link Vaal Double Strike with Ancestral Call and Multistrike and I hit 3 enemies, then the Vaal Double Strike will, naturally, not spawn Double the Double the Double the Double plus Double Doubles than what it would spawn in it's current state, but will the non-Vaal version of Double Strike hit Double the Double the Double plus half a Double enemies than it would hit without the support gems?

I don't understand, so vaal skill and normal skill gonna be an only orb? My main skills are Lighting Strike and Double Strike, so i'm worried about that	Posted by toutlavie92#0541 on May 2, 2018, 3:24:39 PM Quote this Post
This seems great, but have you considered charging vaal skills by a certain rate by staying in instance, and if you are killing monsters that rate would be higher? (to keep sacrificial nature of the skills) This could solve the instant-recharge problem in much better way than preventing soul gain for a while.
