Thanks Bex!
Only one mystery remains:
Do the corpses get used? :D
No

No
So General's Cry is a 1-hit minion+atk skill, does it consume corpses?
It doesn't consume corpses.
The new system now counts magic, rare and unique enemies proportionate to their power so that your Warcry scales more effectively with the content you're facing.
Is "power" a real thing or is it just an alternative to using "rarity"?
I'm not used to GGG using words with a meaning in the place of a word with less meaning. Shaper having the same "power" as Hillock for example seem wrong.
Hopefully this gets changed to rarity if it means that.
Currently this works by counting normal monsters as one, magic monsters as two, rare as ten and unique as twenty.
They look sexy, what's the little counter on the skills' icon bex? Number of exerts?
Yes
Do all warcries have the same base range? Would it be possible to get the base range for each of them?
They have the same Area of Effect, yes.
do they count as minions tho? are are they just an mirager archer type of thing where you cant build around that specific type?
They don't count as minions. They're Mirage Warriors, similar to The Saviour.
Warcry cast speed should scale with attack speed (somehow) not cast speed if they want people to seriously consider not grabbing that keystone.
Warcries are not spells, they are not affected by cast speed modifiers.
There was no demo of the General's WC in that example vid right? I'm not imagining things?
You are correct. We will preview that one a little closer to launch.
Its benefits are purely offensive. It achieves this by intimidating nearby enemies and exerting your next few attacks to deal double damage.
Does exert in general and the double damage work with ailments?
In this particular case double damage is a hit-only mechanic. With Rallying Cry, which has x% more damage - that would work with ailments.
We haven't revealed much about it yet just that we're putting some focus on two-handed weapon improvements through the passive skill tree, new slam skill category, Warcry buffs and various other means that we'll reveal over time.
does that comes from a timeless jewel (karui) now?
No, it's a core keystone.
What's great about GGG is that when they say soon they mean soon and not soontm
The post is roughly an hour away.
Can Glacial Hammer and Ruthless become desynchronized?
They can't really be particularly syncronised in the first place, since they're tracking entirely different things. Glacial Hammer is tracking successive strikes with the skill, and a given skill use will make one or more strikes (depending on when it repeats). And they have to be directly successive, doing anything else "breaks the streak".
If you never repeat with glacial hammer, so each skill use does a single strike, then Ruthless is still going to be every third use, while glacial hammer's bonus is applied if you use the skill (and thus strike) three times in a row without doing anything else, so they'll be doing different things if you ever use the skill a number of succesive times that's not a multiple of 3.
