Disease & Locust Swarm (or Plague and Pestilence)
|
Goal: Create a Chaos based caster, staying in line with the current chaos damage over time mechanics.
Disease / Plague ~ Cast as Aoe marking targets similar to curses ~ x-y Chaos damage over 6 seconds (Medium DPS) ~ Spreads to nearby enemies each tick Locust Swarm / Pestilence ~ Single Target ~ x-y Chaos damage over 5 seconds (High PDS) ~ if target dies before skill ends, skill jumps to a nearby target recasting itself up to 2 times The fun thing here is that you'd have two skills that both spread, one lower dps for aoe, and one higher dps but single target; meanwhile, both synergize through Chaos and Damage over time passives, and both have a form of spreading albeit the second a little more chaotically.

cool, but i don't think GGG are willing to make any DPS curses. probably because of in really long boss fights permanent curses (is it hex master keystone?) can hang around for upwards of 20 minutes if playing solo. for one quick little cast that would amount to massive damage. i like the flavour of locust swarm though.

" I'm not thinking Disease is actually flagged as a curse, just that it's painted as an aoe, and quick to cast. |
|
" The thing with it is, you apply it and hide and wait till whatever it is you want dead dies. That is not how it should be. I would love a little bit more dot skills with chaos damage though. Make it spread to others when the infected monster dies instead of per 'tick'. |

yeah, if it wasn't an actual curse, but an aoe spell it sounds good.
also, the name 'disease' is pretty uncreative. i like 'plague' better. |

" Plague is nice. Also, I'm open to changing the theming of locust swarm, I'm more tied to the mechanics of having a self cast chaos damage over time pair, as outlined. For example, the second spell could be Pestilence. |

Year in review, I think this is still one of the big things I'd like to see.
A chaos damage spell, and a chaos damage DoT. Where the DOT is painted more like a curse. (But neither have to be actual curses.) |

" Shouldnt you know that GGG already saw this thread? It can take a year or longer for them to implement something. |
