Snakepit in 3.5

Can anyone confirm its interaction with freezing pulse and frostbolt? Does it now allow them to chain?

No it won't. These abilities will always pierce.

I read it will prevent FP pierce.

Have you tested this? Remember the new snakepit prevents spells from piercing.

This rework was designed around freezing pulse or similar skills chainable xD

From what I understand, Ball Lightning does not pierce as Freezing Pulse does. The actual "ball" part of it never hits an enemy, but instead has an area of effect around it that determines if anything is hit. The damaging hits that come from the ball function similar to arc, and won't count as projectiles.

If this is true, it means Snakepit only provides a spell damage and cast speed boost.

I suggested this like... a year ago, maybe two.

Thought it got pretty much ignored. Apparently not.


I notice that no one has considered Spectral Throw - which has the same always pierce as FB/FP but still *hits*.
