Here are the gem details for the reworked Arc Skill!

So what about finally giving casters also a non-cooldown movement skill without the delay of lightning warp? It´s about time.

I wouldn't go quad-totem... tri-totem+Vaal selfcast would be more fun.

I thought I read where GGG said we could just use the Vaal version and not need the regular one to save a socket (and get both on the same 6L). Must have read it wrong... I'll need to find where I read it. No matter, maybe 3 regular + self-cast Vaal Arc would work best.

Think you misunderstood... if you take the passive 1 extra totem, it comes with a "you can't do damage yourself". That would keep you from self-casting vaal arc.

Wrong. You can still cast any spell or use attacks, they just don´t cause damage. So the vaal arc with 4 or 5 totems icluding soul mantle would still apply the shock. (I guess, as long as the chance to shock applies to the regular totem dmg as well)

I'm unclear on the math here. "15% more damage for each remaining chain." I mean, I understand what it means, obviously, but the underlying math, whether it's additive or multiplicative for each one remaining, is unclear. i.e. Against a single target, would it do 205% damage (1.15x7) or 266% damage (1.15^7)?

The damage on Vaal Arc looks pretty unreal, like easy to get a full shock on bosses even unreal.

I love arc though so definitely big +'s in my book!

105%, 15x7.

So how would this be in single target?

About 350 - 1750 so pretty comparable to most single target spells like fireball, magma orb, FP etc that lot.

It isn't going to break the bank but the vaal version with its guaranteed shock and 100% increased shock effectiveness is a different kettle of fish thats ~ 3k average damage base on the first target which is gonna shock most things at full effectiveness.

eh was thinking doing PP Arc seems lacking.

Yeah VD still gonna outperform it unless you were like a shock specced elementalist or something along those lines (and tbh they can shock with fire damage anyway so... probably irrelevant)

sillyQ: does vaal ark level up to 20? also if my arc becomes lvl20 can i reset it as usual to get quality (with a gemcutter prism)?

cheers
