Announcements - Ice Spear Rework - Forum

This is going to be a nerf I bet. AOE confirmed dead. Single target probably loses massive amounts of crit chance in exchange for multi. GGG probably nerfs base damage because of multiple projectiles. Anyone notice how the video show casing a SINGLE TARGET focused skill doesn't show even one SINGLE TARGET fight? No one is going to sit there and cast that shit in a boss fight. Freezelocking constantly gets nerfs anyways so why even both with cold spells that inherently do less damage than others?

Doesnt look good for fast aoe clearing. Hope is good for single target.	Posted by alezipp on Oct 25, 2018, 5:10:19 PM Quote this Post
Honestly not an interesting rework. It literally looks like you took barrage and made it into a spell.	Posted by nyanraptor on Oct 25, 2018, 5:14:58 PM Quote this Post

The bigger the hitbox the better. I guess Kitava like mobs could get at least half the barrage shoved into their rear end. well it doesn't seem like the 2nd stage will have 600% inc crit. the post says it will have increased critical multiplier in its 2nd stage, so i imagine the crit chance is going bye bye " It now has bonus critical strike multiplier while armed ------ " It now has bonus critical strike multiplier while armed as well, further enhancing its damage, and the projectiles move much faster once armed, delivering their powerful punch rapidly You somehow missed to quote the important part of the first pages announcement. Ice Spear now has bonus crit + multi. Masterpiece of 3.16 lore "A mysterious figure appears out of nowhere, trying to escape from something you can't see.

as well as what? you're assuming its crit strike chance. it could also be referring to "as well" as piercing after it arms, like what was said just before. " The skill still arms after travelling a short distance, but instead of piercing before it arms, it now pierces after arming. It now has bonus critical strike multiplier while armed as well, further enhancing its damage, and the projectiles move much faster once armed, delivering their powerful punch rapidly. while armed as well. could mean while armed as well as piercing after arming, the way its structured. you're assuming its as well as increased critical strike chance, but inc crit strikes isn't mentioned about the gem new or old in the entire post.
