Spark Nerf? How bad it is now?

Spark and Vaal Spark projectiles (including those from monster Sparks) are now 20% slower. Quality on Spark and Vaal Spark is now worth 1% projectile speed per point of quality (rather than 2%). The time that Sparks must travel before they re-arm has been increased from 500ms to 1000ms. Spark projectiles now destroy themselves after travelling 150 units, which is in-line with other projectiles.

do it spell can be still mainDPS skill in builds? I havw planned play some spark build at start and now this.

P.S. Voltaxic Rift nerfed to. GGG why u so hate Voltaxic Spark?

Because it was too broken. Same with VMS. Anything that's easy for new people to abuse for cheap gets nerfed.

It should be playable, but no 2-screen wasteland.

Jump on the pizza blast elementalist hype train.

The time that Sparks must travel before they re-arm has been increased from 500ms to 1000ms?

This should be good enough for a nerf, yet there were many other nerfs you listed. why must ggg absolutely kill the flavor of the month skill gems instead of just regular nerfing it -_-

tell me how many scolds will prohpecy have ?
they took the lazy route like always the availability of scolds was the problem not vms

Re-arm time change isn't a big deal when you consider that they nerfed the projectile speed too. (So it will take longer to go the same distance.)

probably still good enough without having to aim for stuff within 1-2 screens~

and probably not so good as before such that it will make people play with other gems.
