Is this a new covered in ash effect or is it only specific to infernal cry?

prbly the same thing like chieftain/ascendant-chieftain/xophs blood

also, im thinking blast rain with awk GMP for triggering like 10+ combusts per actual shot - if its ONLY attack restricted, not melee restricted.

Looks like 12 sec cooldown on warcrys.

I'm not sure how this applies to buff 2 handed weapons as they seem to equally effect all weapon types.

I would assume that there is a mechanic which uses the base damage of whatever weapon it's used with. So 2h weapons have a higher base damage but a slower attack speed to compensate. So if warcry uses this number, the effects could be stronger if you are using a slow weapon with very high damage per hit.

I'm usually critical of changes, but these seem realy good. No shared cooldown? Monster rank considered when applying effect? Good job there.

Warcrys doesn't concern me, please leave more information ... Skill balances? I just want to play in builds.

nice reworks gonna make melee more viable :D

In general I like the idea of slow, but mighty (AoE) attacks with 2H-weapons.

My main concern is, that it will feel squishy in terms of survivability.
If you have a fast af 1H / dual wield build with 15+ APS and a good LoH in addition to leech, it will always feel much more reliable and tanky than slow attacks.

LoH with a high APS is just great. I doubt, that the attempt of slowing 2H builds down and provide AoE or damage, will "counter" this...

To address this issue, maybe increase the leech rate with 2H slow melee attacks?
Or anything else, to grant so comparable survivability to fast APS builds with leech and LoH...

Cheers

we will see how strong each of those are. It's weird because.....Rallying Cry gives a % of your main hand weapon

For that vast majority of support/minion builds, that's going to be TERRIBLE
If it's too strong, then we'll see Witches running around with 500+DPS Jewelled foils summoning an army via Generals Cry + Rallying Cry that is like Animate Weapon but....waaayyy better.

We've never been able to grow spectre/Minion damage based on our weapon damage before. That's going to be POTENTIALLY very interesting and tough to balance around.

This MAY also lend to a game play style that benefits two 6 link setups. A 6 Link for Generals cry to make those ghosty bois very strong, and another 6 link for spectres. Just put all your passives into HP and Minion Damage, and away you go. Every spectre build (potentially) just got additional damage (like we needed it xD)
