POLL!!! Do you use curse on hit?

Like others have said , my 2h heavy strike dude loves it. With windscream I use heavy-splash-multi as main, and ST as my utility attack first. Linked to ST I got COH-enfeeble-blind-lmp , then I manually drop a vulnerability for my 2nd curse. Leap slam in with molten shell linked to the use on melee kill. Pits pretty face melting , I'm sure I could get more Dps manually dropping curses but I'm lazy.

use both curses with cast on dmg taken - for a melee char it works like charm

Is possible to use this with ancestral bond?

Could potentially have it something like curse on hit + arc + elemental weakness + conductivity?

99% yes

many similar mechanics (like PCOC or generating frenzy charges) work that way

I'd like to try a split arrow + curse on hit + 4x curses and permanent curses.
And then an other 6 link attack. Perhaps the temporal curse on hit glove.
It seems like it could be fun.

Not gonna use unless they let us to fuse curse+support into one gem or something like that. That'd be the 6th link for me

big yes

reason:




I have elemental equilibrium aswell. Thats 3curses + elemental equilibrium per splitarrow shot.

First I shoot some ea into some monster, than I splitarrow them for ee+dual curse effect.

It works better and FASTER than the normal curse method. My casttime would be 0.5s for a normal curse, with a splitarrow its 0.32 and I still miss 20% ias on the quality of the gems.

I agree that the gem is a bit meh because you actually have to use 2 whole slots when linking to your main attack. I only have 5 link, so essentially I only have 2 slots left to put useful gems in.

I can see it being of use on a secondary aoe attack, but then whats the point of hitting with a secondary attack when... you can just curse them.

Maybe if it made the curse more effective, your missing 2 extra slots after all.

most probably:

cast on dmg taken + coldsnap + THREE curses in that quill rain would have worked better in 95% situations

youd need something to re-EE single targets (that 6th socket on your chest - ice shot)

3curses wouldnt work becouse I need the 3rd curse to be "cast when dmg taken + enfeeble".
Secondly I couldnt anyway becouse I only have a 5L, chain is really needed to spread the curses.

I dont see why I need iceshot, I have colddmg on my 2nd ring. So any normal splitarrow shot spreads ee on top of the curses.

Spreading ee only when you get hit is not a good idea and doesnt work, I tried with shit like icenova and whatnot and it doeskt work probably for a ranger. It doesnt make sense to take dmg just so you can apply ee.

I would rather ask about the things on death LOL
