Wither doesnt work with CWDT

Wither doesnt work in combination with CWDT?
Tried CWDTlvl (lvl requirement 40) with Wither (lvl requirement 39) it doesnt work. I can selfcast that Wither linked to the CWDT. Tried also with CWDT lvl 20, same result. Intended or bug? Havent see info that Wither shouldnt work with CWDT. This thread has been automatically archived. Replies are disabled.

It seems to be a channel like effect similar to lightning tendrils so it doesn't work with trigger gems.

Maybe we could have official confirmation on whether this is normal behavior or not?

" Probably is since I can confirm it is rly channelled spell. I would rather see this being normal spell with LESS base cast speed so it could be supported by Spell Ehoc and used with CWDT. Can't imagine this being much viable like it is right now... only way how you could support it is Cast Speed which is barely enough. WHo could use it atm? Perhaps Caustic Arrow builds as "filler" spell? Ńothing else I am afraid. What a shame! Last edited by Diphal#5777 on Dec 11, 2015, 6:16:06 PM

" Contagion/Essence Drain. You know, the two Spells that were released alongside. Two other noteworthy supports: Increased Duration, Spell Totem. |

Actually, no. Not "contagion/essence drain". When in the history of ever has a caster channeled a utility ability to enhance their attack? Channel flameblast, sure. Channel incinerate, ok. Stand still (and vulnerable) for a bit, in return for a big damage payout.
Channel wither...?!?!? So I can THEN cast essence drain or contagion?!? What. The. F...? Maybe I have missed something about the mechanics at play here. However, until I see some kind of sane clarification from official sources, this skill is straight dumpster. I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly...

" Contagion and Essence Drain are not supports, they are active spells which are intended to work well with Wither - and it might work well. Problem is that you need to cast/channel any of these spells and when you do, you dont have time to cast other ones. It could be fun to cast contagion, then cast essence drain and then stack Wither manually. But damn that time spent to kill the group of monsters... not even talking about ramp up time of Wither... Anyway I'm not saying that this sinergy should be removed, but slightly modified in order to make Wither viable for bigger variety of builds (make it work with CWDT). Since it would not be channelled spell, it would work with Spell Echo and might need nerf to its base cast speed. Last edited by Diphal#5777 on Dec 12, 2015, 4:07:06 AM

" No shit, that's why I called them "Spells". :p Contagion + Essence Drain will kill white monsters quite handily, Wither exists to kill Rares and Uniques in a timely fashion. It's not rocket science. " ...The other way around, duh. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Dec 12, 2015, 8:01:36 AM

I think you normally need to combine all three chaos spells.
First use contagion with inc. duration and maybe trap for groups. Then use essence drain on the strongest foe, maybe with lmp or some other projectile support, and also inc. duration. And because now you cannot stack the degen buff, use wither with either spell totem (or place the totem before) or spell echo until the mobs are dead. Wither really needs to be channeled after a monster is infected with essence drain or contagion. Because both can only stack each other once, but with wither you can stack the chaos debuffs and slow them, to support the other two. |
