Gore Spike swaping with Sunder the Flesh is bad
|
The upcoming change in 0.3
"is really really bad. A lot of the skills associated with the witch / bloodmage already have 15% crit chance. Unearth, Bone Cage, Bonestorm so basically all pure physical spells of her. If we want to still use the nerfed Gore Spike we have to waste a whole ascendancy notable to get there. Please keep Gore Spike infront of Sunder the Flesh or make them be separately accessible. For people not aware, this is what Sunder the Flesh does: Base Critical Hit Chance for Spells is 15% Last edited by SuperMotte#2631 on Aug 21, 2025, 1:17:02 PM Last bumped on Feb 2, 2026, 8:32:24 PM

This is not way to buff blood mage at all, except free first node of curse. Rest is just, why?

I would be OK with it if they changed it to "Base Critical Hit Chance is 15%" and removed the spell part. that way it's worth getting if you go spears/bows/melee.
but atm I agree, ice and phys spells are already high crit and this node is useless. Last edited by hukas01#6451 on Aug 23, 2025, 9:17:59 AM

bump. super lame change looks like they really don't want us to deviate from the archetypes. It has MAGE in the name you must cast SPELLS. lame.

Yep this is bad, I just started playing it now for the first time and even I recognized immediately "oh these should be swapped" and then looked it up and found this post because they were already the better organized way before patch. 15% base crit should go last even if it might not make sense to elemental builds because you are forcing a dead node on people who actually play physical which is the theme of the ascendancy in the first place. Unless the whole point of swapping this is because them giving us the free node of life at start is to ensure we actually still have a net loss for crit physical builds for some reason which is kinda just cruel.
