Everybody seems to think that the combined level of gems matters when it comes to codt...

Nowhere in that post do I see the word combined? Have I missed some information somewhere? Why is everybody talking about deleveling gems?

It simply states that you cannot have a level 20 gem supported by a level 1 gem, IE level your codt and you can still use it with all your high level gems... no?

You don't get it? I have level 1 CwDT (req 31 lvl) and few gems with level 17-18 (req 62-63). To use CwDT as support I'll need to take it to 18 level! And some time age I've just downgraded it from lvl 10 to lvl 1 with scours!

So? You have had a lot of time essentially exploiting an oversight in GGG's balancing, congratulations on your good fortune, now you will have to run catacombs a few times to get it leveled, this is hardly a game breaking tragedy.

Or, and bear with me here this will blow your mind.

You could level CWDT slightly and run lower level defensive gems!

And if I bought these gems and I don't have level 1 gems? Didn't it come to your mind?

This man has a good point!

...Why did GGG show off the gem in the build of week #1, using it the same way we are using it now then???... You give us a gem, show us how to use it before it was even released, so we use it, and now you nerf it on us and tell us that we are using it wrong??? Seems like you couldn't come up with any other way to nerf people using it with discharge, so you just punish everyone...

QQing wont help, anticipating will help progressing.


So I have a small mechanics question, I would like a quick answer from devs so I can start coloring my sockets again:
If a skillgem that exceeds CwDT's level requirement is linked with CwDT, will I be able to cast that one manually or will it be disabled alltogether?

Is there really no way for you to test this, can't any one lend you a lvled gem to test this/ don't you have any lvled gems?

As for the path, I didn;t think there was a good way to nerf cast on dmg taken w/o breaking it, but you guys thought of something, I think this change is perfect!

Thank you very much for the Vitality change. It needed it.

I don't much care about the nerf since I wasn't using CwDT.

BUT : Some people said "if your build can't work without CwDT, it was shit anyway".

What ??? In every beginner's guide I read, it was said : "don't choose a class, chose one or two skill that you like, and build synergies around those".
So now it's not true anymore, a build should NOT be thought around 1~2 main skills ?
Sporkers builds should work even without Spell totem ? That seems strange to me...

Choose a SKILL, not a SUPPORT gem you idiot.

Hum, you are not very polite. I suppose you don't add "idiot" at the end of your sentences when you are not behind a computer screen.
I find it strange that bad language and such aggressivity isn't morderated more strongly here. On dota2 you would have gotten 2 weeks mute just for this...

As for your point, guess what, SPELL TOTEM IS A SUPPORT GEM HOLOLOLOLOL. That's why I said "without Spell totem" and not "without Spark". The idiot may not be the one you initially thought.
(and all them gems are describe in "Game->Skill Gems" on this website, may they be "active skill" or "support")

Few times for 80+ million exp!? Are you OK?

Lol... I love how upset so many players are over the CoDT nerf. Serves you all right for not trying different builds out and collectively climbing onto a broken bandwagon. Did you guys seriously think that GGG was going to leave such a "cookie-cutter viable" gem THAT relevant? Just a bit naive aren't we?

Get over it, roll a new toon, or just quit. Most of you sound like you came straight from the BLIZZARD forums.

Don't you think all the current endgame viable builds are just boring OR cheese?

I started a melee char recently as after the righteous fire nerf active spellcasting (not using dual totem cheese or discharge cheese is just plain weak compared to 10x cheaper melee builds).

Boy, what a repetitive chore melee is. Like, no cool combos, no requirement to stay mobile during fight, just point and click from one monster group to other, all day long.

Where is the action in this action RPG?

I repeat myself, take a break from your no doubt endless grind of 78 maps and go hit docks, or catacombs, christ go and help some people farm ledge for a few hours and level your Codt.

How many hours have you put into perfecting your build? You can't spare a few more to level a stupidly useful gem?

Meanwhile Discharge remains untouched...GG GGG
