Can Kinetic Blast still somewhat be used as a single target?
|
I've just now caught up with the nerf that has apparently hit KB a while ago:
" How does this change translate into real world terms? Is KB's single target damage against a wall the exact same as without the wall or is it just nerfed by 50% of something like that? This was one of my favourite skills to use, so I'd love to rebuild one of my old KB chars, but if its single target has been entirely removed I'd have no reason to even try it. Any information is appreciated! Last bumped on May 1, 2020, 4:05:48 PM

They basically made KB work much similiar to Blast Rain: 4 explosion with equal distance that overlap in the middle. However, if there is no space in that "quarter" to place an explosion, it won't place it at all.
In other words, shooting a wall with KB will only make 2 explosions because 2 of them have no room to be placed Admittedly, my KB/Power Syphon poison assassin in Delirium used KB for offscreen AoE skill and Barraged power syphon for single target. |

" So then the Single target potential is still there, but it has been nerfed about 50%? |
|
" Single target is very weak for attack wanders at the moment |

" Confirm. Poison can help, but just so much And, yes. If you counted on wall explosion for the single target, you will have to search for other options, I am afraid. I believe it's since the "I can kill Uber Atziri with a white Crude Bow, a Lightning Arrow and a Frost Wall" era that GGG has sistematically tried to nerf or disable most of the "wall tricks". This is the latest add. |
