If the 4 dot damage one wins (viper strike crit), link it to chance to flee

lol no way :P
chance to flee would be viable only if bleeding depended on distance runned(it actually work with time runned) and if chance to flee gave movement speed to monsters

Name the worst skill ingame............ desecrate
Good luck building endgame out of that shit skill. You'd probably have better luck with decoy totem and just running herald of thunder for your dps.

i agree
making it "spell" but not allowing it to be buffed by spell damage is kinda bad mannered

Shock Nova isnt terrible, its the terrible game performance in combination with a hard to land skill that makes it utterly terrible.

I have made several goes at shock nova (since I loved d2 novasorc) and the damage potential is there, but the fact that you constantly cant hit shit due to desync makes you want to stab yourself in the troat.

sure the damage potential is there but the hole makes it crap

i heard 2 good alternative to make this skill viable:

1) make it go from max aoe and go Inward (the reverse effect of Ice nova)
2)remove null zone and make it leave shock on the ground

What about shockwave totem? I can't see that skill ever being useful. Maybe as CC.

You must be joking, didnt you play these leagues?

I wanna see a pure remote mine build.
Free choice of active skill but every dmg skill has to be linked to remote mine.
No minions allowed, no traps, only defensive totems.


or


A build centered around Animated guardian (no other minions or srs allowed).
Animated Guardian has to do at least as much dmg as you with the skill of your choice and 100% uptime.

Nova+ echo+ fc+ inc aoe+ knockback+ flee

Done.
*drops the mic*

I did a pretty powerful pyre 3 dragons Arctic Breath mine build in previous leagues, its not hard. Hell, you can even "one-shot" stupid slow bosses or the oversoul with it.
However, I've abandoned mines since GGG decided on a very stupid design change on the way its laid (now character runs to location of mouse instead of laying them at the feet).
Ofc most didnt even notice cause they dont care for it and AFAIK it wasnt even in patch notes.
Maybe GGG should have taken an hint on the fact that there's not one single mine build in 1.2.0 even though the placement of the nodes improved... maybe, just maybe you done goofed up.

As for the Animate Guardian its not hard either, both of them can do terrible damage :F

Bonus if Vaal Double strike is used
