so any status effect from any Javelin can be combo'd with your javelin's specific Combo effect. so regardless of freeze, electric, acid, fire, all 4 status effects will always prime for my javelins Combo effect? i guess im just trying to understand what exactly you mean when you say the status effect applied does not matter.

Yes. What you said.

Hey Ben not sure if you're still on to answer my question but does the AoE effect of the Lighting only trigger once when it becomes "primed" or does it happen multiple times during the duration of being "primed"

thanks again for all you do for us. You're the best

Only once primed

When you reach the level threshold and you choose the Jav you want, is it available to you right away or do you choose a Jav, then do the mission to unlock it, and then are able able to play it?

available immediately

Is there any difference between detonations based on energy type for Ranger and Colossus?

Obviously Storm spreads the AoE, Interceptor carries it with them, etc. If Ranger detonates an acid primer or a fire primer, are those combo effects identical?

Yes, the same.

Can you clarify the Interceptor Aura Ben? Does the aura apply to proximity of the Interceptor, or proximity of where the combo occurred?

It’s an aura on the interceptor. It moves where you move

If that's the case, what exactly will an explosion combo do to diffierentiate it from shock?

So there is the status effect and the combo effect. Which one are you asking about?

Here are both answers...

Status effect - fire (dot), Frost (freeze), electric (AOE), acid (debuff)

Combo effect - ranger (impact - bonus damage), colossus (explosion - AOE dmg), storm (chain - spreads the status effect), interceptor (aura - gives an aura for the status effect)

So it doesn’t matter what status effect was applied, it matters who triggers the combo

Hey Ben, sorry if you get asked this all the time, but why "Irvo" for your handles?

My name is Ben Irving. In Australia that means you get called Irvo. It’s a thing. Either O or ie or Y at some point in everyone’s surname

And BenIrving was taken I believe

...and I absolutely cannot be more hyped for the game right now. If they wanted to force players down a lane and rigidly play a certain way, their "build" in the game would have flawlessly destroyed everything in sight, and endgame would just be spent grinding for the gear that the Devs intended to be OP. But because their build didn't even work, the live-stream really gave the impression that the Devs have instead thrown hundreds of perks/stats/abilities into a primordial soup and are welcoming whatever OP, unbalanced monstrosities that will emerge.

I'm soooo glad there's no PvP balancing issues to spoil the fun. I'm all in.

The build was pretty good. There were like 3 bugs - second gun, thruster time and all the numbers being zero. Not bad IMO

I do know that we get our javelins threw levelling, but what I don’t know is will we be able to choose what javelin we want when we get to that certain level or is it laid out so we get a certain javelin at that level.

You can unlock them in any order you want

Will ALL of the items with Masterwork Property, the Orange Text property, be viable?

In Diablo 3, there are plenty of legendary weapons that uninteresting unique passives or "Orange Text Properties". This eventually leads players to have one or two legendary weapons / armor that works with their sets / game play. Sure you can use any legendary weapon, but you will not be doing the most optimal damage.

Some Diablo 3 items are very nit picky about only using their property / legendary effect at a certain point in time, or has a very lack luster bonus, deterring people from using it. Examples include:

Blood-Magic Blade

  • Blood oozes from you

This provides no additional damage bonus to a build

Skycutter

  • Chance to summon angelic assistance when attacking.

Summons a very weak additional ally, dealing very little damage. Adds nothing to game...

Our hope is that you find all the weird and wonderful ways to make them viable. We set out to make them viable. Time will tell :)

I think a stun would have overlapped too much with freezing. Shock being an AoE is definitely interesting! I would've liked there to be an extra on-hit burst (like Blast in Borderlands) but maybe Shock will do that just fine.

That’s right. We wanted them all to have a different effect

Comment

My experience with Mike is that probably means 100%. Just speculation though.

I've decided to avoid shaving my beard until release. Wife says no. Upvote to support my cause and show my wife it's what us Freelancers do.

Edit: the response is incredible! I won't let y'all down!

Edit2: Before pic! Will post the after after launch.

That’s actually not how it works. 6 months ago we likely had none of that stuff to show... because we spent the last 6 months building it...
