This is a little off topic, but I am trying to compare Divine Ire to Incinerate, and I read that Incinerate is taking two casts per stage instead of one. Is this intended?
I’ve talked to the skill’s designer and he has said it is, so I’ll make it clearer and see if this has thrown off our balance team at all!
Ty for jumping in and clarifying. A quick follow-up:
The hit is designed to make the skill visually consistent and provide a way for it to leech and provide on hit effects
Is it correct that a single Soulrend projectile will only return exactly one ES Leech instance from the first target it hits? All piercing target hits will not return an ES Leech instance.
Additional projectiles from GMP/LMP (or other sources) will also return an ES Leech instance on their respective first hit?
It’s just like if Frostbolt had leech, each hit leeches but an individual enemy can only be hit by a single projectile per cast
Does reoccurrence require resources? For self casting Discharge, let's say. Does the reoccurrence do damage based on the original amount of expended charges, or would it be a no charge repeat that's essentially useless?
No charge repeat, unless you were doing some Voll’s protector ruckus to re-generate charges
On a some what related note, is it intended for incinerate to gain a stage every other tick of the ability, instead of every tick like flameblast?
I talked to incinerate’s designer about this and it is intended, so we’ll make it clearer and see if any assumptions threw off out balance testers! Edit: typo
Does the Doedre's Effigy Skill granted by Doedre's Skin have the ability to cast Bane since it is technically a curse skill?
No, it’s a curse skill but not a curse. I’m hoping we can somehow make this clearer, it’s a bit confusing to describe that way.
I feel like you should have just started an AMA Rory, the way this thread is going! Good on you to show Mark_GGG how it's done though!
Well he did help confirm and correct some of my answers so I’m not alone in this! I appreciate the appreciation though!
Additional questions regarding Soulrend:
- Is it correct that Soulrend's damage is split into an initial projectile damage hit (Deals 448 to 672 Chaos Damage at Level 20) and a DoT-debuff (1944.3 Chaos Damage per second at Level 20)? If so:
- Is it correct that Soulrend's ES-Leech calculates based off its initial hit? The DoT-debuff doesn't return any ES-Leech.
- Is it correct that the initial hit doesn't scale with Swift Affliction, Efficacy (DoT multiplier)?
- Is it correct that the initial hit is reduced by "less Projectile Damage" (such as by GMP), but the DoT-debuff isn't affected?
Yes, yes, yes and yes. The hit is designed to make the skill visually consistent and provide a way for it to leech and provide on hit effects, but not really as a primary damage component as there are only a few ways to scale chaos hits. Not that you can’t try :p
So does that mean there's no negative to using conc effect with it?
The range of the zaps is lower, so you’ll need to be closer to a target to get extra stages from zaps
Because nothing has that tag. It doesn't exist.
Not yet anyway!
Have any idea what the base aoe of it is? Like if you didn't get any modifiers to duration or aoe, what size would it reach if you let it travel its full duration.
In the video it seemed like it travelled for quite a long time, and increased duration as a support for a main skill isn't quite optimal
I’m not sure of the exact number off the top of my head, but I aimed for 10-20% larger range than a player level 16 Ground Slam as its base
If I link it with coc or something with faster trigger time than this 0.2s, will there be more than one wave activate at the same time or the new wave casted before the 0.2s ends will be ignored?
There will briefly be two or more waves active
Oh basically like freezing pulse and proj speed for how much distance it can cover before it dies off?
Does that mean with max aoe it'll go super fast?
Not super fast, as area increases start to have a diminishing return as it gets larger, but it does increase the distance noticeably.
Will my casting Bane trigger another Bane in Vixen's Entrapment, and cause two DoT instances?
If you overwrite a curse caused by bane, will the DoT lose damage?
You can only have one bane debuff dealing damage at a time, so it’d be a waste in that case. The dot damage is decided at the start, so removing curses doesn’t remove Bane’s damage multiplier.
does the beam deal area damage or get affected at all by aoe modifiers?
The beam deals area damage, but isn’t affected by area increases. There is a circular shockwave around you when you fire the beam that is affected by area increases.
Are the zaps area damage or no?
They aren’t, they’re just hits like Arc
On what interval are Divine Ire stages granted? Is the rate of stage gain affected by cast speed, duration modifiers, or anything else?
Just cast speed, like Flameblast
So when are we getting Physical?
Possibly 3.7.0, but it’s too early to say
Does the debuff stack?
Nope, just refreshes.

Intensify doesn’t support channelled skills sorry!
Is there a way to increase the speed of the waves at which they advance?
Increasing their area of effect is the way to do this
