Skill Reveals - Soulrend and Bane

i dont really understand what ppl are wowing about, it looks like a new essence drain and contagion? :S


Really disapointed in no news for melee aswell? its been gutted for sometime now :(
"
When enemies are hit by the projectile they'll take a small amount of chaos damage and grant a large amount of Energy Shield Leech (4% at all gem levels).


The ES leech is applied by the hit, which is "small?" What good is that, even if it had 50% leech?
Can DoT effects leech now or what? I don't understand this.

we need more chaos melee skills


I second this for 3.7. It'd be nice to have chaos melee skills for trickster. Poison needs some love, and maybe some new skills to work with it would be nice as well.


Huh? Poison is cheap and easy to scale into the millions of damage. I do not see the problem?

Everything you do is sub-optimal.

Without poring through 10 pages of replies...

So, what the OP indicates is that to fully gain benefit of soul rend we'll want to couple it with essence drain and (or?) perhaps contagion.

This will be marvelous for those who can afford two Poet's Pens with one spell in each wand (with a multi proj gem and projectile speed gem).
For self casters it's going to be a finger wrencher... which many skill combos are even now, granted.
Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive.
Patch Notes 3.19:
Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment.
So, the new Essence drain an Soulrend will both be AOE spells? Both scaleable by Concentrated effect an Inc. AOE?
RIP Blight
Seriously, who need Blight without Spreading rots? Every chaos build used Spreading rots AND Wither. Now - only wither. Huge nerf:(

Doesn't Decay require hits? I'm not sure, but I don't think Bane hits.


oh shit you're right, decay does require hits. that seems weird to me, since its a dot itself
I'm pretty excited about soulrend, I'm hoping that GGG will leave it a bit overpowered so it's picked over ED.

Correct me if i'm wrong, probably a bad build but if un mix bot u can have duble degen aura 1 from death's and 1 form bane if someone skilled can study that i would like to try it :P i'm not very good at creating build
