Incursion Skill Gems

Nice!
So you won't be able to get a level 21 spell gem that is also a vaal gem right? You will have to chose to either use a level 21 spell gem or a level 20 corrupted one that is a vaal gem and a regular gem. Hmmmmmmm.
Love this, thanks so much Bex.

P.S. Wish we could like posts on the forums cause I'd love to thumbs up this :) so for now /thumbs up

No, you can get 21/20 vaal gems. They've been around forever ( relatively ).
Can't wait to try traps again and maybe double strike!
Fire Trap?

I am a newbie and I am a fan of Lightning Trap right now. As much as I like seeing Lightning Trap being buffed, I do not agree the "no cool-down" buff. It defeats the purpose of playing a Trap build which delivers that "big damage" but with gaps. If I want to spam a skill, I would pick something like Arc.

I am sure Lightning Trap will be great... almost too great. I kind of enjoy being different.


I think non of the Trap skills should be "spammable". That really defeats the playing style. We now have longer-cool down traps to fill the gaps. That's good enough IMO.
Kinda disappointed with the Glacial Hammer change, going from converting no physical to converting 50%... It's too easy, and 75% increased chill duration...

Love the skill, working on a build for it, but that conversion makes it too easy to get 100% phys converted to cold no?

Remember that since the gem is now a Vaal gem, it will benefit from +2 to socketed Vaal gems corruptions. So starting with a 20/20 Vaal gem, you will get a 22/20 regular skill, and a 22/20 Vaal skill. Previously you could only get a 22/20 regular skill via a 21/20 gem and a +1 gem level corruption. Now you get the same, with a 22/20 Vaal skill for free.

It only gets complicated if you want a 20/23 skill instead. I don't think there is a way to do this unless Atzoatl allows for double-corrupted gems. (Which is not unreasonable, I think.)
