0.10.5 Patch Notes

sweet cant wait

Viper Strike: Intentionally does not work with Melee Splash at the moment.


lol a little to OP? that sucks at least it looks like it will still work with multistrike

I'd love if Melee splash worked with Cyclone. It would just grant that extra damage cyclone lacks...

I imagine it doing sort of 'miniexplosions' during whirling through the crowds of enemies.

Although it is written it only works with single target attacks, cyclone is not a usual AOE type of skill but one that deals lots of single target damage on lots of mobs in a short timespan.

u jelly bra?

Why should i? :D I got my FP pulser with awsome gear, my LA ranger with awsome gear and a 2-H psy duelist. with awsome gear... :) But on what others said about that you dont need that kind of crit with the build. Well, you can go for other points that you've "wasted" in crit % instead

2 points for MORE crit % then you get with those full blooded dps FPS and just keep some of the spell crit. This is just speculation, but i dont think it will be hard to get 5-6 power charger strikes up with some base crit from gear and the spell crit from nodes. And the + crit from curse(s)

This is just what runs true my head at this mom. 300% thats you can easily keep up considering It's on crit. And with 5 FPs its kinda devestating. When you go maps mobs close to each other, one FP should do the trick.

As i said, this is just specualtions. But it kinda sounds to good to be true considering the points spent. Just take a aura wander for instance, you build your spec AROUND power charges due to power siphone. Well, now you dont have to. But dont get me wrong, power siphone is a awsome spell. But FP... Just a tad better :)

P.S - u jelly bra?

How does multi strike work with double strike? would 1 swing be 6 strikes, or would it be 4?

Does multi strike with viper strike apply 3 stacks?

Does multi strike and melee splash effect the melee portion of lightning strike?

Does multi strike on flicker strike cause you to flicker 2 more times, or simply hit an addition 2 times in one flicker? Does it consume additional frenzy charges?

Does melee splash allow aoe support gems and passives to apply?

Jelly of default league items? No...

I don't want to vent, but really....I lvled a chanr JUST for aoe viper strike...i even geared noded in the passive tree around this build..now they nerf it before it even comes out.

So you built and leveled a character based on a skill that you haven't seen or used...why are you surprised things didn't work as planned? Let's see, you had a 1-sentence preview of melee splash from a news post to base your presumptions on, weighted against the fact that, aside from increased duration, not a single support gem in the game works on the chaos damage over time portion of viper strike. hmmmmmmmmmmmm, must be because "GGG hates melee"...
:O

Well, the problem is that there are not many builds for a claw user atm since most of the good skills are not usable with claws. So viper strike along with melee splash was finally something that actually could benefit a claw user.

But now again they are stuck inte the pointless limbo they always have been. They really need to sort it out so that viper strike will be possible to use along with melee splash as well.

I can fully understand why people made the builds for this patch since as said there has been no reason whatsoever to create a claw build (beside the cool look factor), so they simply wanted to give it a try just to find out that the skill is the only single target melee skill that it won't work on. I actually can understand huge disappointment.

However that doesn't affect me since I am a bow user :)

Yay! Getting power charges won't be a nightmare anymore. My wandwitch will have a fighting chance.
Looks good, now if only I had a proper internet connection...

"Multistrike is currently a world drop support gem."

That's about right in line with my RNG...

As always it's great to see a GGG dev team that sincerely listens to it's players. Patch sounds really nice.

A volls protector just dropped for me. Fuck
