GGG forgot buffing Kingsguard :(

"

And yes, Kingsguard was meant for Discharge use. The only other ways to consume endurance charges are Immortal Call (which has a CD and thus can't be spammed) or Vigilant Strike (which only consumes one charge at a time).

Hmm... as far as I can tell it is not a supporter item and GGG never really liked the Discharge Mjölnir builds, they intended Mjölnir for use with Lightning Skills.

So either someone not in touch with the rest of GGG designed it or it is a supporter item that is unclaimed. GGG actually wants to remove Discharge entirely from triggers or at least a lot of people assume that from some of the teasers (maybe they even talked about it), which means Kingsguard would need a redesign anyway so there wasn't any need to react on it now.

I'm also fairly certain that at the time of it's design GGG would have felt very uncomfortable about having such high recovery effects in the game, so I doubt they intended that, otherwise the Bino nerf wouldn't make any sense.

Kingsguard was made to be used with Mjolner + Discharge.

Wait... what?

Don't understand your confusion the item was made for the volls+mjoner discharge build.

Please explain to me how could you (or anyone else) know that? It's not a supporter item and GGG usually don't make items just to support a single build, besides the fact that they showed their hate for discharge & mjölnir quite often.

I'm pretty sure its a supporter unique, i remember someone claiming they made the chest on reddit, but I can't find the post.

The main reason people use discharge with Mjolner is that there is (was) no better lightning spell to use.

With the buffs Shock Nova MIGHT be a contender now, but I kinda doubt it.

Cospri's Malice has other spells like Arctic Breath and Vortex that it can trigger that work quite well.

The issue I'm trying to point at here is that there are really no lightning spells besides discharge that are worth triggering that can function in a melee setting and can kill single targets (again, shock nova might work now OKish). (This basically rules out Arc - no single target - and Storm Call - delay makes it suck at AoE and not really effective in melee. And you can't trigger Tendrils, unfortunately. I would totally do that).

GGG need to rebalance the whole regeneration of life stuff.
You can regen 1500hp with items (20% max hp) almost 24/7, not even talking about VP.

IMO items/skills HP regen should be MAXIMUM 10% max hp/es per second. Flasks are here for a reason, to play with brain and to use them when you need. When skills/items regen more than flasks it means there is no reason for flasks to exist and something is really messed up in the game design.

Some people can adapt to change... others can not...

Yes you can, but tbh 1,5k is no problem (still no facetanking everything). ES & VP makes you leech a few 10k per second that's when shit becomes absurd. ^^
