Are you 100% sure you added Dead Reckoning to the vendor recipe list?

This is actually a big brain move if I've ever seen one. They don't have to balance that build when no one can play it. /s

On a more serious node I'd hate if my build enabling item suddenly gets gated behind a obscure vendor recipe that needs to be discovered first. Not fun, not original but hey.. happy hunting I guess?

u can have the time to play something different from once which in my book is worth it haha

I wonder just how build enabling this jewel is, there are already 6 level 100 Necros in Sanctum.

How many of them played skeleton mages?

Oh none?

Can't imagine why. What a dumb post. This isn't build enabling; it's build defining. The build doesn't exist without the jewel.

Locking a preexisting build that many people enjoyed behind a hidden recipee is fucking stupid. Make new puzzles for people who enjoy puzzle solving; don't gate everyone else's gameplay behind it.

Absolutely fucking ridiculous decision. Can GGG just release a list of builds we're allowed to play in any given timespan each league so we can set expectations reasonably?

Golems went from a strong approachable build to a multiple tens of exalts build because... Why?

Skele mages went from a fun, top tier build to a non-existent, who the fuck knows build because... Why?

I'm sure the handful of people that discover the recipee first will make bank off of it.. sure hope their fun is worth the multitude of people losing access to theirs.

I could be something stupidly specific... like gems of a certain skill and a certain level. Could be anything really. Best just to wait until someone figures it out.

It's been a long time (a week since the start of the league). GGG could already understand that the recipe is either not very predictable, or quite rare and they should be told about it. This secret recipe killed essentially the build that people wanted to play with. It is not the right option to change the availability of the gem so.

I'm assuming you guys tried the 'Reckoning' gem? Also 'Volatile DEAD'? And maybe throw in a fireball gem since we're talking skele mages.

As a side note there are some players using the gem, so at least a few know what the recipe is. It's not been made widely public yet though.

They just tweeted a "hint". Looks to me like there are nine items including the Summon Skeleton Gem.
