Necro comment here but this is the very first time that I've genuinely enjoyed a caster class (never had done it since 0.1), and I'm completely enjoying the Lich in approach to full chaos build -
Until I've encountered the state of Hexblast. I was pretty excited to upscale my chaos combo setup after getting Hexblast but now I felt trap and stagnant all of a sudden - a late campaign skill like is supposed to help us further enjoy our build and prep for the late game but now it feels like there's no potential growth ahead. At this point I'm kind of forced to either go Bone build or Full Minion build (w/c I'm trying to avoid) but alas, what they've done alone to this skill is enough to kill the incentive or excitement of playing a Lich. |

I wonder, how many people here have actually tried to make a build with it?
Last league I was able to get hexblast to the point of one-shotting basic mobs with blasphemy, which ended up feeling a bit boring to me. I think it could be more interesting to play with like this. I've tested it out during campaign and early maps on my lich, and I could get one of my curses to below 2 seconds, at which point I had time to cast one spell before firing off hexblast, though that was with temp chains on a blasphemy aura, so without that you would probably just immediately hexblast. I'm a bit tempted to play around with it on my blood mage when I get up to maps on that character, but I'm also having fun with a bonestorm/minion build so I'm kinda torn. Bloodmage works well here because you can get the 15% crit node, which works best with chaos spells since their base chance is among the lowest of all spells at 7% I also have been using hexblast with my ED/contagion lich, but more as a extra button for boss and rare fights instead of a focal point of the build. |

" What do you want? Blasphemy + Any curse and spam hexblast to nuke the screen(s)? LOL HC SSF. What else? Ruthless when?
|
|
" Probably they didn't try playing with Crossbow skills bro.... They are even more worst + they carry always a punishment with them... Pathetic! |
|
" I did play with crossbow and I liked it. Merc is not very strong on defense, though. That I did not like. :) What does this have to do with Hexblast?? HC SSF. What else? Ruthless when?
|
|
" It doesn't have to do but overall the game lacks balance to classes and weapon skills. You can see spear skills erasing whole screen and killing bosses in 2 sec. This is not Jonathan's vision. |
|
" For sure is not. I am not using such bs. My builds combo trash mods. I do not like broken and bugged and op. Efficiency I do like, but broken - no. HC SSF. What else? Ruthless when?

It is these "little" changes that really makes you question the future of the game. If the devs let these type of changes pass into the game, I'm worried what comes next. So many skills are on a bad spot right now and the only thing I'm noticing lately is GGG nerfing skills that DO work while not fixing skills that DO NOT :(
