I still say its better to have cd's on most of the vaal skills than soul requirements.

I'm completly against coold downs in an ARPG. While I don't like Ultimates at all, Souls are the better solution since they keep you in your pace killing stuff. Set Cooldowns encourage slowing down to use the ultimates on more mobs overall which is contrary to the fun, fast pasted combat.

souls are an arbitrary cooldown (have to refil so you have downtime between casts)


if they only want 1 use per zone they need to have their damage increased by about 300% so they can one shot bosses

otherwise there is no point other than a gimmick

My guess would be this is 24 souls on normal which makes it 72 on merciless?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't souls work like that?

If it is 24 in normal it will be 36 in cruel and 48 in merciless.

I like the soul system better than cooldowns.
It means whether you play fast or slow you get the same chances to use them.
Also makes the trade off when carrying multiple ones more interesting.

I just wish they charged on weapon switch so we could theoretically devote 6 link setups to them.
The later you get in the game the more they need to be supported to be useful, but they are used so infrequently it becomes hard to justify dedicating multiple links to over other defensive or utility options.

Red bull? More like D3's wings...

Is it safe to say that with all these new gem variants being introduced into the game, we need more gem slots... Pants.

As long as we don't maintain souls through areas, Vaal Skills will remain useless

No. Just no. If souls remain through areas, you could just stack them in ledge norm then spam all of them in, for example, dominus, then go back to ledge to charge them again and repeat... It would be too easy...

So you're saying if you're forced to go to ledge to power all of your Vaal Skills up, to then go to Dominus to kill him, which btw won't happens since having multiple Vaal Skills will split souls gained, reducing the time you'll get it back.

Even if someone would do this, he would waste more time charging them up, than any other typical farmer build could kill Dominus 2-3 times.

See the whole picture here? You will ALWAYS maximum use 1 bloody Vaal Skills, because if you use more than 1 you won't get to use them in most scenarios.

"Just go to Dominus" - Like any other hold down button build?

If people really wants more skills, they should give us passive NODES that grants buffs when not affected by Auras, therenext more Skills that works WELL with just being a 4L.
There, you now have 1 more 4L and a Skill to use in it.
