6-link has become the norm, 8-link is the new end-game.

6 link is the old 4 link for people that don't know yet . Meaning if you don't have 6 link , you better hide somewhere .

Im pretty sure GGG will make CoH useless with HoT, like HoI


Just my 2 transmutation shards

So now that everybody can have a 4-link become a 6-link and ultimately a 6-link becomes an 8-link i am wondering how this will effect balance and difficulty progression.

Any thought's about this power-creep with the recent patch?

(i am speaking about hoT + CoH + dual curse obviously for those unaware which effectively gives a 6-link at lvl 40 to most builds)

Ive been wondering about this power creep too. I imagine its only going to get worse. If the community was lucky, it would devalue 6links, but with the general greed of trade, I doubt it. Itll just make builds become more expensive to optimize.

Whoops, thanks^^ Was searching for a quote of me (or is it mine?).

I swore that somewhere a dev said they wanted to make HoI work with CoH, but the mechanics need to be tweaked before they can do it.

OP? Certainly not.

Sure it's good but to curse whole groups consistently before the hit takes place there are other options that do a better job for many builds.

Instead of being happy that HoT allows many different things you immediately cry OPOPOP. Do you think the game is better off without it?

its not even close to op..first you have to bbasically give up a 4l set up to do it. second its slow to curse things. does on a interval and may not curse boss but some trash. third its not aoe like a normal curse is or a real coh setup like ball lighting gmp which blankets whole screen.

i ttried it was not impressed.

If you can't read, don't bother responding.

Thank you.

This is such a silly thread. A conditional aura that curses monsters around you doesnt suddenly make your main attack two links bigger. If we calculated it like that, every aura would. (oh hey, im using hatred, so i have a 9 link, right? why only two links more anyhow, curse on hit +curse +curse are +3)

Hell, CWDT would make you suddenly use a 15 link, with your silly standards.

At any rate, the mechanic on CoH HoS is neat but this thread is hyperbole trash and needs to die in a fire.

And the only characters this works on at 40 are arc characters. They usually just use a second arc to curse. (melees dont have anywhere near enough crit at that stage, casters dont either but arcs built in shock helps)

so basically , we need a redesign of crit ?


there is a whole sub meta game about making broken as shit builds on less than 5l

and almost all of them are a combination of

Cast when X gems
RF
and crit.... lots and lots of crit.
