0.10.4b and 0.10.5 Patch Details

Characters need a toggle-aura with no cost that makes all your spells/projectiles do 99% less damage but you take 25% less damage from all sources as a tradeoff.


The new gems help melee against 1-skill clearing crap like EK and lightning arrow, assuming the AoE is very big.

Awesome job guys!

I have 5k leap slam and 6k ground slam and 10k ele cleave.

The dps is not melee problem,we need survivability.
Endurance charges on hit/kill,damage reduction on hit etc etc

best thing about this game?
after a hard map night you go to sleep, wake up and there is always an awwesome content update post by Chris. it's really like weekly christmas ... i f**** love it!

exactly. the current concept of the endurance charges are very frustrating and it doesnt add to survability, it detracts. having to have spam the skill takes too much time and in the end survability.

please add another possibility to gain endurance charges or make one charge wear off at a time instead all charges at once.

I'd like to see a endurance charge gem - like gain 1 charge on a block, or dodge.

or a endurance gem, that refreshs all current charges on kill, so it works with things like warlords mark, and enduring cry, so instead of having to constantly cast them every few seconds, you can keep the charges up with each kill.

I think something like this or along the lines of 10%(or whatever percentage chance feels right) on being hit, refreash duration of endurance charges.

I concur. Enduring cry is just painful spamming it all the time.

Stop being a whiny bitch and use Ground Slam/Lightning Strike.

I swear to God, all these "melee is underpowered" posts are from the retards trying to double strike/heavy strike 100% of the game. Stop being a baddie and use AoE skills, for fuck's sake.

Are you retarded? First of all, nobody was mentioning under or over-powered status of a melee. Secondly, it is awesome that you let us know what kind of "melee" you are, ie. GS/LS spammer with melee HP but balls too small to actually get hit by something. Lastly, you utterly fail at reading comprehension as I have clearly indicated my concern is specifically towards already existing, and used, AOE skills.

Multistrike gem is a support gem that will provide multi-targeting at a cost of damage output unless it also works with just one target in range, in which case I wonder how GGG balance it because the potential to hit 3 times even if each hit is slightly lower is very powerful.
I would say Multistrike should work differently for 1H, 2H and DW--difference can be amount of strikes and/or damage coefficients applied to each strike. Keeping it the same would create even bigger gap between DW and the remaining two stances, ie. 1H and 2H.

Splash is clearly worse alternative to Multistrike as the trade-off between marginal AOE and damage-per-hit will be too high. There is no point to put Splash on your single-target skill because you use it for killing high HP targets such as rares and bosses. Splash damage would be useless for such purpose even without considering the fact your single target damage would be lower because you would have 1 less support gem to increase it. I doubt that Splash would be real AOE, it is more like to be point-black AOE with limited range, therefore, Cleave and Sweep will still be skills-to-go for mowing down large packs of mobs.
If Splash has single-target damage increase and attached splash damage in small area around the target, the skill might be interesting. Again, main concern is how balanced it would be since this support get has very high potential to be useless.

I LOVE YOU CHRIS! My mind explodes with millions of new builds with those new support gems!! OMG!

Well..... new melee support gems look interesting but they're still not going to actually help melee survive.

I agree on the endurance charges... Enduring Cry is just a pain in the arse. Do something to make it less painful.. hell... turn it into a melee support gem or something. At the moment it's just a painful and annoying mechanic.

Also, multi-strike is just ANOTHER reason to go elemental damage. By decreasing your physical damage your hits do even less damage against armour. Seriously.... can we make a skill or support gem that is actually useful for physical damage for a change?!?
