I'm guessing the inspiration was Diablo 3's disintegrate?

Some of the inspiration I've personally taken from Diablo III is to seek to emulate Blizzard's ability to ask questions in ways the average player will answer without resorting to a build guide or wiki (e.g. "you have unlocked this rune, do you want to use it?"). This helps maintain the feeling of player agency and keep players engrossed in the main gameplay loop. I'm also a fan of some of their monster affixes, such as Arcane Enchanted. Aspects of other games in the genre - things we believe they've both done well and done poorly - are absolutely recurring topics in our design meetings, and we have definitely taken inspiration from games we have played.

To refer to the skills mentioned by u/nymphios, I have played both Grim Dawn's Aether Ray and Path of Exile's Scorching Ray more recently than I have pla...

Are you referring to Fireball’s Flamethrower node?

That’s not a beam so much as a bursty ‘machine gun’ type of ability. The two do feel very different in practice. To offer one example - when turning your character, with Fireball / Flamethrower you turn rapidly but the projectiles may not hit enemies. With Disintegrate you turn a little more slowly, but the beam is going to sweep over every enemy in its path.

It’s definitely a good concern to raise - and I would be interested in your feedback after having played with both - but it’s not a problem we’ve had internally so I’m not currently worried. :slight_smile:...

Just wanted to provide a quick update - we have had some success reproducing this issue internally. If you’ve had this occur with a skill other than Summon Scorpion or Summon Skeleton, please let us know in this thread. Thanks for the reports!

In a future patch we will be implementing the Sorcerer skill Disintegrate and its specialization tree! By default Disintegrate is a hybrid skill which deals both Fire and Lightning damage.
 


  Disintegrate is a channeled ability which inherently pierces enemies. It is considered to be a Spell and does not have any innate Damage Over Time component.

The specialization tree for Disintegrate is currently in the design phase. Due to the unique properties of this skill making its implementation more difficult than most, we are not yet ready to confirm which patch it will be part of. Let us know whether you’d be interested in us posting a preview of this skill’s tree on our website prior to releasing it in a patch!
 


 
As an aside, we had previously shown off ...

Hey,

Regarding the system information: can you please confirm that you clicked on the relevant link (e.g. the DxDiag article for Windows) and followed the step-by-step guide? If you’re getting stuck at a particular part, could you please let us know where?

The .ini file should be called le_graphicsmanager and located in the same place as the log file. You may need to set Windows to show hidden files and folders to find them.

You should be able to attach the files to a forum post using the Upload button;

Sorry about that! I haven’t seen this issue before so we’ll need more information. Is this the first time you’ve played through to that point of the game? First time this patch?
