That's amazing. Give it three uses with a very long cooldown that summon random melee weapons. Suddenly it's possible to play pure Animate Weapon builds without having to haul around weapons to animate. Portaling into and out of a map isn't so terrible that you just leave good stuff lying on the ground. GGG, please make this happen. It would be such a huge QOL improvement. It doesn't add any crazy power or anything to the skill, but it removes a massively annoying inconvenience. @GGG please do this lol	Posted by aelazing on Sep 1, 2016, 9:28:17 PM Quote this Post

Most weapons do about 30 phys damage base, and the Animate Weapon skill adds another 45-ish (at level 20). So, weapons do about 75 physical damage at base. A level 20 Anger adds ~110 fire damage to every hit, more than doubling the base damage. A level 20 Hatred adds 35% of phys as cold, which in this case is 75*.35= 26 damage. So you can see, Anger adds about 4x as much damage as Hatred does. It's the same for Wrath. builds: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1663570/	Posted by ThatsSoGoodman on Dec 7, 2016, 5:07:03 AM Quote this Post
This Skill should get boost ASAP, i forgot when ppl actually used it in the past year.	Posted by administrator100 on Dec 16, 2016, 6:25:16 PM Quote this Post
I think the time has come: 2.6.0 Patch Notes Animate Weapon now limited to 20. 50% less Animate Weapon movement speed. Animate Weapon now can't be affected by auras. (This is a nerf) 20% more Animate Weapon damage at all levels. [spoiler]I hope such cruel nerf could quench balance team blood thirst for some time and Blade flurry will stay untouched at least one league more[/spoiler] Problem: impostor syndrome Solution: nerf everything Result: depressing mess Last edited by a_z0_9 on Jan 1, 2017, 7:23:07 AM	Posted by a_z0_9 on Jan 1, 2017, 7:19:04 AM Quote this Post

Its funny, this skill gonna get nerfed soon as possible. because it practically doesn't work for any build except necro, and is clunky and mana-hungry AF if you don't use it with spell totem? And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.	Posted by silumit on Jan 12, 2017, 2:12:28 AM Quote this Post

With the threshold change to jewels would you consider changing the requirement for http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Spirit_Guards from dexterity to intelligence? Spirit Guards have always been cool but difficult to efficiently incorporate into the typical AW build. Hopefully you see this! and don't nerf AW too hard ok :)	Posted by bobogianna on Feb 16, 2017, 10:58:04 PM Quote this Post
