THESE VIDEOS WERE MADE AS OF PATCH VERSION 1.0.0!


Playing with 'Cast when Damage Taken' and 'Cast when Stunned' gems while they are not nerfed yet :).

This was made with low level gems (including discharge) and unoptimized spec just out of curiosity.

Dominus last phase is a bit meh, used some Staunching flasks to remove bleeds. I guess it's because bleeds don't stun and I have no armor but whatever.

Farming with this setup is simple - run through packs and watch the show. The harder the pack - the better. Multiple discharge gems and GMP charge generators make nice fireworks and sometimes video glitches. While farming, flasks were used only for run speed buffs.

Could've linked Blood Rage as well for frenzy charges on kill, simply forgot about it.

Yes, OP let everyone in on the secret of how ridiculous these trigger gems can be.


...Anyone with a brain knows these gems can be absurdly-powerful.

Yep, the new gems are too powerful.

Cast on Damage Taken is a mandatory for every build, shouldn't be this way. With just 1 gem one can keep up full endurance charges, Molten Shell and Decoy totem (or something similar) without any mana costs whenever takeing any damage. It's too strong.

I wonder how they didn't see this coming before implementing them into the game.

Haha nice, the botters dream indeed.

Maybe it was intended, since we can't run our desired aura's? I'm blood magic, and no way I'm losing that much life as a melee marauder just to run fucking grace...it's pointless. This gem actually helps my survivability again. They should keep it how is, but make it so that it actually is the mana cost of the supported skills, that way people would level it up and not spam it at level 1 like they are now.

I'd hate to see this get nerfed, like the aura's, because they make silly ways for people to abuse it like running 8 aura's pretty easily, and people who specifically designed there build just to be able to run 5 of them got completely fucked. I can barely run 2 on my LA Ranger in standard now, whereas I ran 5 with a 550 mana pool un-reserved before, now I run 2 (mind you while taking ALL the mana nodes I took before, AND all of the close reserved nodes) and have maybe I think 300 un-reserved...it's bloody stupid man.

Please don't fuck the gem over because of a mistake you guys made. Make the gem work as intended but have it actually COST the mana of the skills. That way either you run your aura's and don't use cast on damage taken as frequently, OR go blood magic like me and have it actually be viable...melee doesn't need another nerf and neither does BM. Make it that you can't use a blood magic gem with it either to help that problem. It's amazing how steep some of the nerfs or "changes" you call it were in release. I expected a lot of new stuff, but shit man..there's no point in having to update and fix everything, every single week. It looks bad on the game.

I'm still having a really great time in domination, and I am glad that I continued to play and switch over to the new league instead of same 'ol standard. :|

Yup fun : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KExKt5VKQx4

Two videos added. Original video reuploaded to youtube with better quality.

Added link to guide on Witch forums.

You've almost got yourself an afk build, all you need to figure out is how to facetank dominus's fist and to not rely on flasks. Maybe the new auras will help with that.
