Raise Zombie of Slamming....(lol) and other thoughts

Are you serious? You took the BASE zombie...removed his slam, and then introduce a "transfigured" version that brings the slam BACK but KEEPS the melee strike still in the mix?

What the actual hell is that bs?

I also love how there is literally no damage numbers for the Raise Zombie of Falling...how is it scaled? Is it based off base zombie damage, base zombie life, a combo of both, what? Given that it only has the "minion" tag, the scaling through support gems is already super super limited. Why no AoE tag?


AND STILL through these minion re-thinks....we get ZERO tooltip or skill gem info on the ACTUAL damage output of the minion itself. WHY does it have to be a mystery? Tell us on the freaking gem what the base damage is of the minion!

o y i was wondering how you scale gems that have no numbers :D

Regarding the tags: I guess the current Raise Zombie also doesn't have the "strike" or "aoe" tags. But that isn't a GOOD thing lol.

Give us some goddamn information! You have skills that have 20 lines of text, clearly you aren't AFRAID of text. Why does the zombie get....2 lines and zero information?

It is not just zombies, for example ice nova has this trick too

"How to design new skill gems", by GGG, inc.
- take current skill gem
- remove one of its modifiers
- copypaste new gem with that modifier still intact.
- gate new gem behind spamming lab
- profit, player retention boosted!

Yes I noticed this too with other skills....but I have a lot more experience with minion builds than the others so I was laser-focused on the laundry list of ridiculous changes and lack of information lol.

It's like these gems and notes were written by a 3rd grader. No substance at all

according to FAQ (read it, it is actually quite good!) parachuteless zombie does 2.5times its main hand attack damage whatever that value might be

it is quite a hefty number still, good enough for all types of funky castonsomething builds if you are into 'cool but not necessarily strong' stuff

It should NOT be in an FAQ, it should be written on the gem itself. Why do I need to go OUTSIDE of the game for easy information that should be right there? Honestly...I don't give a rat's backside what's written in the FAQ, or how good it is. If there is even a question that requires an FAQ, it should be ON THE GEM or in the game. This is a total no-brainer to me.

Anyone else notice the MASSIVE golem nerf with the transfigured gems? They lose their AURA!!!! Are you serious?! Nerfs to the golem jewels and now the aura is too powerful to be used with multi-golems?
