An ARPG isn't an ARPG until some form of chain lightning is present, whether the bouncy-kind or the split-kind. It's a simple fact.

Agree! I still remember one of my most epic arpg deaths. Way back in D1, was entering a room with a pack and my partner (?) shot me in the back with ~8 CL streams. At times I still miss friendly fire damage, it had its moments.

I hope there's something interesting there for us poor melee PvE goers. Still, Sounds terribly good.

Agree with this also. I like melee the best. One thing that would help is more on-hit effects, mainly support gems but maybe also item mods.

chain projectiles + arc = epic

It has it built in!

I can see how this patch further encourages melee builds /sarcasm T_T

oh well...

Duels?

you're not seriously suggesting friendly fire when there are billions of players (or one player with billions of posts) demanding instanced loot because they can't cope with their team mates.

A new lightning skill is great! I've been thinking of trying a shock build for the witch for a long time, and this new skill should be fun!

I can't wait for this game to get released, I dont want to start new chars only to get them deleted...

they're not deleted, they just get stripped of their itemsn and points ;-). given you need one week to get an char to endgame there is plenty of time until december to enjoy all details of this game. you will miss alot of experience with different skills if you don't play now.

skill point resets are a invaluable source of second chances to try out different builds without the need to start new chars too. try something different nd if it fails you just play one of your other chars.

I would be very cautious of making beta predictions just yet... There has been no word of the Trade System yet. This was the other major component besides PvP that they promised to release before beta...
