Nothing of what you said precludes the ability to have a Brand support. Functionally brands are just like a totem that attaches to the monster that they cast at. So... it's not far fetched to have a brand support.

Just think about the synergy. It oozes with ways to creatively combine spells and brands. Imagine a curse brand. Imagine an scorching ray brand. Imagine volatile dead brand! It'd create a wave of VD across a screen as it kills and jumps to the next monster just in time for the VD to hit them!

A recalled brand that was initially cast by a totem would remain the totem's for purposes of reflect and on-kill effects and the like, correct?

do the brands count as projectiles, what would gmp do?

Of course, if a totem, trap, mine or minion casts the Brand, then they're the one dealing the damage.

if some other unit casts the brand can the brand still be recalled to me?

Also more out of curiosity i assume traps(and totems) wont let me bypass the brand limit either, but a minion (in theory) could?

But why instead of 20 levels?

Ok, thanks. Just wasn't sure if they counted as "you" or not.

Unlike other skill gems, Brand Recall only has 6 levels, but each level greatly increases cooldown recovery speed.

Will levels 1-6 follow normal gem experience scaling or will levels 1-6 be re-scaled specifically for Brand Recall such that you hit level 6 roughly around the time a normal gem would hit level 20?

Could you enlighten us on the active limits on the brands?

So can brands be used with Ancestral Bond?

Do Brands count as your damage or is it like totems, traps, and mines? Will there be a Brand Support gem just like how there’s Trap Support, Minefield Support, and Spell Totem Support?

But Discharge doesn't specify that you get the damage from discharging a charge, it only says you get damage bonus per charge, for example:

Discharge all the character's charges to deal elemental damage to all nearby monsters.

Deals 221 to 331 base Fire Damage per Endurance Charge

So if I have +1 to minimum endurance charges and I have only one EC and no other charges at the moment, I cannot cast discharge because I have no expendable charges. But let's say I generate a power charge to allow me to cast dischargwould I still get the fire damage bonus to it, because I had an endurance charge that wasn't discharged?

I'm curious as to how it will look on our buff bar. Would it show up as 1 charge with no listed duration? When you have above the minimum number of charges, do they then also show up with a duration for those charges and when the duration runs out the other charges expire while one remains?

It's definitely something intriguing, although I'm not sure how much potential it actually adds to any builds, considering how most builds that want consistent charges will either want multiple charges anyway, or have some way of generating charges which effectively keeps them at maximum regardless of your minimum. Could be useful for Tectonic Slam builds that don't go Juggernaut (as long as Tectonic Slam doesn't have that synergy changed), I suppose. And maybe for things like Tulfall that make you lose all of your charges under certain conditions where you might want to keep some?

So is infinite Flickerstrike a thing with this mod?

What happens if you have 0 maximum endurance charges, but 1 minimum endurance charge?

EDIT: My guess, having thought about it for a bit, is that Max charges determines whether you can gain a charge, and min charges determines whether you can consume/lose a charge. I would assume, then, that if you had no charges (which I'm pretty sure is the case when you change zones), that you wouldn't then be able to gain up to 1.

i don't think they went that indepth in coding this to make sure that this cannot be consumed by skills, why would they? It makes more sense for it to act like an infinite duration endurance charge that recharges upon consumption.

Originally posted by Haxl

I would assume you cannot go below 1 charge so you cannot consume it. which means you will only be able to discharge if you have 2+ charges.

On the topic of accidental spoilers, I imagine this is research you guys had to do at one point when you were designing each of the various classes, hence the knowledge on the topic.

If any enemies impale players (or do so in the future), would Slayer's Headsman ascendancy passive grant immunity to the damage since it's considered reflected physical damage?

Originally posted by Iggy_2539

Based off the way you explicitly deny double dipping of mitigation/damage taken modifiers, it sounds as if the bonus damage from hitting an Impaled enemy could be double dipped by damage dealt modifiers; like "physical damage with weapons", support gems and so on.

So following that logic, an Impaled enemy will grant added flat physical damage to subsequent hits, similarly to Despair causing cursed enemies to take additional flat chaos damage.

If it is flat damage, this would also mean that you could infinitely ramp up damage on Impales, assuming you always hit the enemy before prior impales ended. Because the Impale bonus damage would contribute to a stronger Impale on subsequent hits

Is this correct? Or have I missed something?
