anyone else think spellslinger looks insane?

Animate Weapon looks insane to me.
Not in the "with enough investment this will completely dominate the game and kill end game bosses in less than 2 seconds" but in the "omg, i have less than 40c of gear and i am clearing t16 maps easily" kind of way. AW will make the old skeleton builds look slow and expensive! It appears to scale with gem levels even MORE than Herald of Agony, and unlike skeletons, it has the "physical" tag now, so dual wielding cheap cold point daggers will make it crazy strong, +6 gem levels for a 2 alc invenstment. Gem levels give AW, MORE damage modifier, MORE attack speed modifier, increased base damage, increased number of weapons. That's insane scaling on gem levels. | |

Its really not that complicated, Spellslinger is a dual active/support gem.
The support part makes linked spells have 20% base mana reservation that is then modified by all the usual modifiers(linked support gems, passive tree, items you have etc), after this the active part adds together the reservation cost of all the linked skills and reserves that amount of mana when you activate it witch then causes those linked spells to trigger when ever you use a wand attack. Also based on the wording it should trigger even on default attack with a wand. "An it harm none, do what you will"

" I can see triggering with Frenzy linked to GMP, power charge on crit, or perhaps some curse on hit linkage. Last edited by Odif#4251 on Mar 12, 2020, 3:12:36 PM

" Have any sort of build I could reference to league start with this? I have never used animate weapon before "just for try, for see and for know"
|

" This is not correct. The mana reservation does not stay at 20 with supports. It works like blasphemy. If you further support the reserved skill, it will reserve more mana. Hence why there was an uproar at the change from 15% per spell to 20% per spell on official release. " |
|
" Except they will be at least 1exa first week of the league. :D Herald of Purity builds use it also, and now with AW being meta they will sky rocket in price. Alt Art items as League MTX - When?

" No. Good utility... yes, okay. Beyond that... No. Poet's Pens will still rule the attack casting meta. Why? INSANE reservation costs. You get more than two supports and suddenly you've got pretty much zero mana. Even with one support you've just chunked out your ability to run many heralds without a *TON* of reduced reservation. Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. |

not so much...
spellslinger was op when they mention it 1st time, when it was 15% mana reservation. for now its 20%. with some support its become 50-60% at 6l. Without HEAVY invest to mana reservation reductions it wont be so good. at start it was nice idea for build on them. for now. hmm its like way to cast bane with curses for wand attacks or sth like this Last edited by Hokek#1978 on Mar 12, 2020, 3:53:37 PM

" There is a guide in the witch forums, but I dont like it. It obviously was a full fledged guide from 3.9 using Chains of Command chest, then modified (not all that well in my opinion) to 3.10 here is a mini guide, not complete, but should get you going. Great League Start!

Witch start. Ethereal knives bought from vendor at level 2. Use any spell you want to get to level 4. Animate weapon bought from vendor after reaching submerged passage. Look for linked rbg every time you go to town, wands or armor. Early 2 supports for AW are Minion Damage and Melee Splash. Act 2, swap in melee phys support for melee splash. You can craft a +1 minion helm, once you get the right colors. Do this twice, once when i get a rbg helm, then again, when you get a rrbg helm. Vendor helm + alteration + life flask of animation can craft a life flask of animation via Vendor bone spirit shield + life flask End game gear (cheap) 2 x cold iron point daggers Everything else rares, life/resists/dex. AW linkage: (3r,b,2g chest) AW, Empower, Min Dam, Impale, melee phys, fortify or ruthless end game gear 2x cold iron point daggers Triad gloves 4 white socket (highest priority for expensive gear) Amulet with +1 dex gems Corrupted chest with either or both +1 gem, +2 duration gems Rares with life/resists/dex/ (and mana if you going MoM) When you get your triad 4 white socket gloves, swap out impale, and swap in Withering Touch Support. Spectres in your helm, act 7 fields Carnage chieftains and Host Chieftains Blood magic, minion life, feeding frenzy supports Golem, Stone golem (gets the +6 levels from cold iron point) Offering: I think I will be going spirit offering, cause I need the resists and am planning on chaos damage for minions, but flesh offering gives nice move speed, bone offering gives great block. Cant go wrong. Self cast it, with all the duration you will be stacking, it lasts a LONG time. Auras: if you are going MoM (I think i am) then just flesh and stone for the defense If not going MoM then haste or hatred (although hatred has to be turned off in ele reflect maps) If MoM, then some level of clarity that seems comfortable for your mana pool. Skill trees at various levels (for MoM):
