Point of feedback for the T95 magic weapons

Original Post — Direct link

For the third passive effect option, it is geared toward massive buffs to combust and corruption blast, with room to introduce more DoT abilities in the future.

The one inconsistency I noticed is with regard to its essence corruption stacks. With 1 stack, it allows you to become empowered, which deals the damage of your DoT ability instantly and refreshes its cooldown. This directly conflicts with Kerapac's wristwraps which also allow for combust's damage to be dealt instantly.

I am a huge fan of the third option for the passive effect in how it buffs these abilities overall, but this overlap is pretty glaring, and would be in need of some tweaking so kerapac's wristwraps are not completely absolete. If anything, this effect should compliment the gloves if possible.

It's a good point and something I've been thinking about, but something that's absolutely resolveable, we could, as an example split that effect in half to be:

x% chance to insta stack dot + whenever you insta stack a dot refresh CD (this would mean you always have the RNG chance, but you can essentially force it with kerapacs & still get the CD refresh)

I see so make the CD refresh dependent on the DoT stack, making kerapacs wristwraps a sure way to proc it. That makes sense. In that same line of thinking, could we give "DoT insta stacking" a name then? Perhaps instead of making the player "empowered," we call this mechanic an "ability empowerment?"

For example, kerapacs wristwraps could read: "For six seconds after casting dragon's breath, the Combust ability (or DoT abilities) is/are empowered." And for the T95s: "empowered abilities refresh their CDs on use." Possibly opening up other items to the empower mechanic too. Where empowerment means: "This ability deals 25% more damage, and DoT abilities deal their damage instantly."

I love thinking through these things, what do you think?

yeah, sounds like a nice way of distinguishing it, empowered may be too generic (good or bad thing im unsure, but e.g. you could argue wrack & ruin is just 'empowered' wrack but that sort of wording seems good
