New and Changed Gems in Path of Exile: Ultimatum

only thing a janky skill like Blade blast had going for is its damage... take it away and no one or there mother will ever use it... well i never play same skill more then once and i already done Blade blast so its a win for me.

Edit: another league and another bunch of spells... GGG really have no clue how to make a good attack skill.... guess its easy to make spells just make your character do casting animation while something plays out... good stuff.

How would you recover the life cost of Exsanguinate?

Yeah, its not said in skill that next stack refreshes debuff, but every stacked debuff in game is refreshing while you getting next stack (or on max stack just only refreshes). Look on corrupted blood, which you getting from mobs. Debuff from corrupted fever shoould work the same way, as it is corrupted blood


I hope you're right and it doesn't work like poison or other dots instead. Even so; you would need fast attack/cast speed so you don't take 10 sec to get to max stack or it is simply stronger to use exsanguinate a couple of times : /

Yeah, fast attack/cast rate to put as soon as possible these 10 stacks, or multiple hitting spell. I planned to go with Reap DoT Scion, so i will ise corrupted fever as additional DoT. Im not sure that I'll use Fever only to Reap and long stacking it only on bosses,or get 1 skill to fast stacked at start, will see after league starts and test some options.

You can easily stack corrupted blood stacks with Ball Lightning + GMP + Slower Projectiles.

I just though of a double 6L spellslinger with exenguinate + reap .... what was they thinking you could just make a build that bleed people for 15K raw and have 2 6links also don't cost life to use things since you reserve mana for it.... I think that will be the new busted endgame build, Spellslinger double bleed frenzy-blood magic(lifetap)-faster attack-power charge on crit with corrupted feaver, imagine how many PDPS dot you'll be stacking...

GGG You should think about the existing gem synergy and what will happend if you make SPELL over all thing since they have the most synergy of all with "cast when ... " and "cast upon..."


Possible but not probable.
In case you did not notice, Spellslinger is not to be seen here.

GGG, either by accident or well-knowingly, did not link Spellslinger, so we are left completely in the dark on that specific and build-defining/enabling question.

We do NOT know how it will interact with life cost/reservation. In fact, GGG not having linked Spellslinger here is EXTREMELY suspicious (after all, in the patch notes, the skill WAS changed). It is the only reason I will stick to a starter build I already know very well and NOT starting off with the blatantly obvious Exsanguinate-Spellslinger-Ascendant(Glad/Occu or Glad/Trickster)). Reap evidently will suck on Spellslinger as you cannot ramp up it's damage when it's triggered.


it'll not be the 1st time they didn't see something, I'm just hoping it work like any other spell tbh, and if it doesn't work it should say so in spell description...

Global physical leech or even hp on hit (or spell vamp from some weird synergy)

Most likely you'll be leeching with global physical leech.

Make BV great again. The only one skill i like is getting nerfed to trash with each league. Don't hold yourself, just make it 1 to 1 damage, 1 radius, lasts for 1 second, hits 1 time per second.

Most likely you'll be leeching with global physical leech.

Also high health regen (hello Agnostic) and flasks (hello Pathfinder).
And as I see it, if you have ES you will spend it before spending life(just like Eldritch battery works) so instead of Life you can go ES leech/recharge/regen and stack ES.
