GGG, please consider adding sockets to belts (and please don't do it the same way you did unset rings........).

This would help out a lot, especially since some skills don't need supports, but the way sockets were handled in rings makes it difficult to use those.

i would trade implicit mode for 2 additional sockets

I've often wondered why there are not sockets in belts.

If this stacks with regular discipline there's no reason to complain, don't use if you don't like it. If you use increased duration gems and passives you are looking at around 10 seconds of duration. Borderline OP.

The real problem here is how to fit this skill on your skillbar. I already have to manually change skills with some builds, but if skills keep getting added I hate the idea of stopping every 20 seconds to change a skill in a fast paced environment. Death by spell selecting is just unacceptable.

So would I. Except its pretty much impossible if your using a unique ring to enable your build, such as signet of perandus.

Socket > any implicit mod, and I'm still baffled why they handled socketed rings this way. Oh well.....

I would love a way for a true summoner to be able to kill the Queen -_-

in my opinion, those new vaal auras are a def-fail. After 6 seconds your're totally fucked.
Bossfights last usually more then 6 seconds and have more than a 6s timeframe of huge danger.
Additionally, not every Bossfights contains adds that helps you to reload those Auras.
If GGG change the load mechanic e.g make it flasklike, let dmg dealt load it up, it would make sense. Else, i strongly doubt anyone would waste a slot for a 6 seconds onetime glory.

Razer footprints wouldn't look so out of place, I think, if they made them a little bit darker, and faded the edges into the surrounding textures so they didn't bear so much contrast.

Dull glowing effects, and otherwise brighter effects having an elemental / thaumaturgic / techno-arcane sort of appeal.. they worked, if not a little bit abrasive at first transitioning from a time when we were used to an art style that had no cosmetics, to a time when just about everybody in town had at least one.

Wings. I can't even agree with "if it pays the bills." The whole slippery slope circle jerk surrounding the Razer incident was hyperbolic at best; I feel it resonates more tangibly here. Wings... I have visions of tween faerie princesses skipping around "dark and visceral" Wraeclast. I imagine sparkly pale skinned exiles beneath every set of Seraph's. Go Team Greust? Meh.

Edit: On another note: I wonder if there would be merit to considering alternative soul generation mechanics to further enable Vaal skills, such as a life degen skill that generates one soul per n life lost. I like to be able to build around mechanics, and I feel Vaal skill soul mechanics are far too fickle for me to bother with. It just seems like something is missing, and they could be made much more engaging than they currently are.

i want that ^^
