[Unique Item] Alberon's Warpath
The patch 3.19.0 change to Alberon's Warpath is great and really appeals to my "I love permanent minions build" mindset; however it does fall short in the long run.
While I love having an army of undead minions, the issue with Summon Skeletons is their inherent squishiness, which is fine as you progress through the campaign and early maps but becomes more of a problem later in the game when constantly resummoning them barely matters with how fast they die. So an idea came to mind that would help alleviate this issue and further play into Alberon's Warpath's design of a permanent minion army; Current Summoned Skeleton Warriors are Permanent and Follow you Suggested change Summoned Skeleton Warriors are Permanent and Follow you Summoned Skeleton Warriors have 10% more maximum Life up to 250% and 1% additional Damage Reduction up to 20% per Permanent Minion This would greatly improve Summon Skeleton survivability without impacting other minions in a way that would make them too powerful (although some more minion survivability across the board would be nice) but still have them rely on other minions for the army fantasy. Numbers are of course subject to change for balancing reasons, I'd personally have the cap be either 200%/20% or 250%/25% but anything that'd give them some survivability. And for reference, this suggestion comes after attempting several ways of focusing heavily on Summon Skeleton survivability through: • Not using Minion Damage Support (X% less Minion maximum Life) • Using Minion Life Support (X% more Minion maximum Life) • Having capped minion elemental resistances on top of reduced physical damage • Having more than 5% of life per second regenerated • Having 40%+ chance to block attack and spell damage with Bone Offering plus Decay Ward passive node tree, restoring 2% of life when blocking and having a temporary 9%+ of life per second regenerated And so forth. I am far from 100% optimised but regardless, feels bad. Last edited by Zosizi_no_Vorillj#7363 on Aug 29, 2022, 1:37:05 AM Last bumped on Aug 27, 2022, 6:17:01 AM
