Huh... So far first ever time, then my league starter is actually buffed. Ok.

Anyone else thinking that Exsanguinate is missing the "Projectile" tag? I mean they hype up the fact the skill can change but with it not being a projectile going into Deadeye Ascendancy seems like a waste since more small passives and nearby passives in the ranger starter are for projectile damage. I was all hyped up working on my build and than I noticed the missing projectile tag and was kinda let down.

" Nope. Look at the wording; it refreshes the buff on yourself, not the debuff on the enemy. If you wanna scale the damage you need skill effect duration and either attack or cast speed on the skill that applies it. Cyclone once again seems like a top contender, but also other channel skills that hit very fast like divine ire. Could also consider blade vortex since that also scales with phys damage and duration. |

" They said this was inteded as there are more skills that chain without being projectiles and having a build that does dot damage scale with projectile damage creates double dipping which they likely wanted to prevent. Deadeye has very little synergy with DoT builds anyway, so you're better off with some other ascendancy (I also tried non-projectile chain builds on deadeye; it sucks...). |

So the low life changes applying to everything means this is a speed buff for minion instability builds I think.

" Yeah, its not said in skill that next stack refreshes debuff, but every stacked debuff in game is refreshing while you getting next stack (or on max stack just only refreshes). Look on corrupted blood, which you getting from mobs. Debuff from corrupted fever shoould work the same way, as it is corrupted blood Last edited by Valandin#3358 on Apr 15, 2021, 2:36:31 AM

Ok, well... Now we have a problem.
1) Corrupting Fever is going to surpass Decay Support, leaving it virtually useless. 2) Decay Support may have a base of 843 at lvl20, but Corrupting Fever's debuff "Corrupted Blood" can stack with an unlimited amount, AND is not a Support Gem that takes up a slot. Not to mention Brutality can now be used with spells, when Ultimatum releases. That is some serious stackable DoT power to compete with. Last edited by raysuko#6658 on Apr 15, 2021, 2:44:47 AM

" 1) im disagree. You need put decay once every 8 second, while corrupted blood from from fever you need put more often then once in second. And remember that corrupted blood is physical and decay chaos 2) corrupted blood has 10 max stacks |
