Man, I am really excited for this new patch. I just wonder if the Vaal Righteous Fire ins't TOO risky... Maybe adding some seconds of invencibility should be considered. That would make this gem much more common into builds. On the other hand, those lightning balls flying away look awesome and shocking bosses sounds OP haha Thx, GGG	Posted by andrey681#6552 on Jun 29, 2014, 11:19:39 PM Quote this Post

Melee Phys + Melee Phys on Full Life + (Melee Splash + Concentrated Effect) or (Multistrike + Faster Attacks). As a bonus it's possible to get enough physical life leech that you won't need to use the Life Leech support gem. And also, your listed DPS is your real DPS and isn't cut in half by resistance like most elemental tooltip damage is. Melee Physical on Full Life is remarkably effective with mace Stun Threshold Reduction. Don't even need energy shield for anything that can be stunned.

BL looks great, that Vaal gem is scary in it's current form. ~ Adapt, Improvise and Overcome	Posted by DoubleU#7266 on Jun 30, 2014, 12:04:19 AM Quote this Post
Echo looks retarded. the most boring and 'OP-creating' support ever with absurd visuals.. i thought multistrike 12aps animation/sound looks bad. but this casting 'thing' has moved the 'looking bad' goal post no word about it NOT working with CoCS? Ball lightning.. yeah right. so the power creep is in full swing EK change? why? foremost - WHY while CoCS has not been adjusted yet? and that staff... Doon mace (the one with lvl30 iron will) was ok, due to only 3 links, but this staff is a potential 7link and it is an instant BiS for several self-caster specs. this probably makes freezing pulse FoTM again	Posted by sidtherat#1310 on Jun 30, 2014, 12:14:20 AM Quote this Post

What else do you want? A pure physical build that doesn't rely on crits. Why can't I do this? Uuuh, you can, just get phys nodes instead of crit nodes - it's actually a lot cheaper and easier to level because crit needs to reach a certain threshold before it's worthwhile.

I wouldn't be surprised to see other skills receive similar rebalancing to the same effect.
