Alright thanks. I kinda wanted to play something other than GC again since I did GC mines last league. So does everyone think self cast GC is going to be that could compared to maybe Ice Crash, Frost Blades, or Glacial Hammer? I feel like GC self cast is going to have terrible AOE compared to GC mines which was already lacking compared to other choices.

ice crash, if you think gc aoe is lacking, you not gonna have a good time lol

its definitely a possibility- but again, its aoe is inferior to GC most of the time and you need defenses because its centered around you

frost blades- super fast clear, you probably not gonna have a good time against ST with conversion because its threhsold jewels apply pen. of course you can always use molten strike for ST which should murder single targets even without conversion shenaningans

glacial hammer- not sure about this one. you need a lot of attack speed and main feature of GH is wasted

tbh after GC Id say EK and blade vortex will be abused for this conversion shit if they leave it in the game. ek is clear king and bv for ST.

bow skills can potentially be ridiculous too

shrapnel shot with 50% chance to deal double the damage ?

obviously barrage for ST lol

ice shot with aoe overlap full cold conversion and free chilled ground ? chain with gloomfang will clear everything non-boss and still manage to be super defensive

I'll probably look at EK/BV.

I've never played a bow build and would love to try one.

I think Gloomfang would be great for clearing but Yoke of Suffering for single target.

I know every build can't do everything, but I'd like to be able to do bosses in addition to clearing the map.

You could also try Frostblades or ice crash if you like. It's a little less effective and you need Hrimsorrow gloves and a pyre if you use frost blades and 2x Call of the brotherhood rings if you do icecrash.

no point in 2x brotherhood rings, the cold->fire conversion is way easier to get with just one ring (pyre). all conversions are worth the same so the ones that are easier to get (ie, phys->cold and cold->fire) are the ones that are much more effective

ice crash's less attack speed doesnt synergize too well with harness the void proc either. you want a more fast hitting skill

Minor nerf.

Added a new notable - Harness the Void: Grants your hits a 25% chance to gain 25% of Non-Chaos Damage as Extra Chaos Damage, 15% chance to gain 50% of Non-Chaos Damage as Extra Chaos Damage and 5% chance to gain 100% of Non-Chaos Damage as Extra Chaos Damage.

Still good. Still seems like good interaction with Gloomfang for proj skills and Yoke.

Hardly minor - its nerfed by more than 50%. But (IMO) it needed this nerf...

yeah its a big (but warranted) nerf if you were planning to exploit the conversion stuff

OK, so they learned how to maths. Good to see!
