Content Update 1.1.5 Teaser Video

MY input on that new staff, it seems like it could be a way for regen heavy builds to get by without clarity to an extent, not sure how that'll effect anything. Also might make high casting cost spells easier to use. The mana is the biggest aspect for me, not the damage or the echo.
I was unimpressed with the staff after the supported newsletter teaser. Now it seems ok, but will anyone be able to support a 7L ultra fast cast spell? Unless this 100% mana is bigger than I think, which it doesn't seem to be. We'll see.

Although Rainbowstrides+Mindspiral+stack some mana and mana regen on rings and ammu. Could be OK, maybe.

It might still be outdone by a good rolled +1+2 staff with echo socketed. So +100% mana does seem to be the defining feature, how strong will it be though?

Socket Summon Raging Spirit into the staff and voila - you suddenly have many more raging spirits in a given time without CoCS.

Iron Will on passive tree is even more pressing now, since echo is mandatory for selfcast, so Iron Will casters will be left in the dust. Even int castrs are hard pressed to find a socket for it, its pretty much impossible for strenght castrs.

+100% mana goes nicely with Arctic Armor in this

and this chest


it might not be (but it is still possible for some builds) the strongest staff offensively but it has a BiS potential defensively for sure

And don't worry, they're doing both. It's something that I encounter a lot as a dev myself, people seem to assume that a company producing multiple products/features means they are mutually exclusive, that's not the case. The resources they have working on other content will be reasonably distinct from the resources focusing on balance and skills, so it's not actually a reasonable assumption/complaint to assume that work on one necessarily hinders the other to any substantial extent.


Indeed they are. Chris just recently posted that they have a large team working on Act IV, nevermind the mini-expansion being released soon.

That would be a good point if I had said that work on one detracted from work on the other. I did not.

First interesting comment in 10 pages. I would like to know this as well.
