An appropriate downside for Vaal Pact
Make it keep what it already has, but add in "Can only use white/normal potions"
That way people actually need to think seriously about picking it rather than being the automatic choice. And yes i know, burst damage/high dps mobs. Dodge them. Last edited by Nubman#6211 on Oct 16, 2017, 12:58:20 AM Last bumped on Oct 19, 2017, 1:34:08 AM

or
- 50% less life/ES :D or - 50% less damage or - Vaal Pact need 1 Sec. to start leech after a leech hit. this means 1 sec no leech, then full leech, 1 sec no leech, then full leech.(destroy the stupid face-tanking) Last edited by SiegfriedXX#1262 on Oct 16, 2017, 2:02:29 AM

All good ideas.
I would also add (hopefully several at once): - cannot have summons; - damage on enemies is delayed by 3 seconds if you've hit recently; - enemies hit by attacks become volatile; - enemies hit by attacks cause poison and bleeding with their attacks; - enemies hit by attacks bypass 100% resistances. That ought to make you really think about taking vaal pact. ... white potions, jesus.... Reality is an illusion, Exile.

The only (other) downside I would add to VP is "you take 10% increased damage". Since oneshots are the only thing that can realistically kill you, make them slightly more likely [synergizes well with the berzerker VP meta ;-)]...

Why is vaal pact such a hot topic?
It's a well-managed part of the game. You all sound like you never spent more than a month with VP and you just like bitching about it. Go, play at least 5 vaal pact builds, lvl them to at least 90 and than tell me how "unbalanced" it is. I hope GGG never gives in to this garbage. |

Well, aside from the Berserker combo, the other thing is that high hit rate skills are petty much the meta now, and 1 use of most of them insta-heals you to full hp.
