The downfall of Incinerate, Freezing Pulse and Spark?
The rise of EK, Lightning Tendrils and Glacial Cascade?

How sad for fireball and arctic breath that no one even remembers them.

lel.

But seriously though, GC just got wrecked too - most of that skill's clearspeed came from overlapping AOE shotgun damage at point blank.

Waiting to see the complete notes. The buffs are gonna be huge...

Those spells have an AoE, which can still overlap to stack damage. It's just the projectile itself that can't do circular damage. How this affects FP I don't know.

Their aoe is tiny though. Like enemies have to be standing on top of each other to be effected.

Wow come tomorrow TENS of people will be able to play the beta! BETA HYPE ! ;). Still the changes look interesting can't wait to see it on streams.

288 per 24 hours, plus the eventual shrinkage of the time between selections, mini-events to earn keys, giveaways, etc.

2016 players at the end of the first week just off the timer alone.

Fairly solid.

yeah, GC isnt actually a projectile that does damage, so its gotten no nerf, yet.

The new projectil/arrow mechanic effect the Chain support gem?

theres no new arrow mechanic, spells projectiles have been changed to work the way arrows have always worked, so the way chain worked with arrows before is the same. (from what we can tell)

Ondars was not nerfed if you think about it. If projectiles can no longer shotgun effect you..then it would really be broken to still be able to have 95% projectile dodge against enemies..especially atziri and her spear attack..

it was nerfed, extremely hard. It was 100% more chance to evade projectiles, now its 40% more with a 20% less to melee. Projectile attacks could never shotgun before, they are just changing spells to work the way attacks have always worked, ondars is an increase to evasion, you cant evade spells so the change to spells doesnt have any effect on evasion.

GC didn't get wrecked because it doesn't shotgun. It's designed to hit multiple times by default where as skills like freeze pulse required LMP/GMP to hit multiple times. It is completely possible for GC to only hit once now if they are right on top of you.

ok I AM happy about this!
