Any ideas how these mods might work with Necromantic Aegis? Spell damage should apply to spectres, but will gain arcane surge when you deal a critical strike proc when spectres deal a crit?

It will!

As you all know, this December we're launching our biggest expansion of 2018. Shortly after its release on PC, it will also launch on Xbox One and will be introduced on PlayStation 4.

From what I've seen so far, the code base already makes sense, and I honestly didn't expect otherwise. The other programmers here are just as competent as I am, and they have good reasons for structuring the code this way (mainly performance); so you shouldn't expect me to be making major changes that will make everyone's dreams come true. I'll try to make some dreams come true, though!

Just curious, Openarl is a New Zealander that just has to move or from outside the country and needs to migrate?

I'm Australian, so I did have to relocate.

Where'd you move from and what is it like being in NZ so far?

I moved from Brisbane, Australia; Auckland is really nice, although the weather is a lot cooler.

But how many hours do you have in game? :thinking:

I don't know the exact number as I use the standalone client, but probably 5000+.

Having Mark as my mentor would terrify me. Grats on the job! I'm assuming moving to NZ is mandatory?

Yes.

Are you still going to be doing PoB? Is it going to be rolled into your job?

I'll be updating PoB in my spare time, as before.

So did he reveal the secrets of the skelly mages? All I wanna know is if it converts skellys dmg to elemental or if it negates any added phys and uses pure elemental.

The mages uses pure elemental spells; there's no conversion involved.
