And if it pops before its timer expires, the cooldown starts. Which gives a slight window for mistakes and death but it makes the shield a reliable way to stay alive. A 4 second cooldown with minor speccing into cooldown reduction. It takes 75% of all damage until the shield pops. Which takes the place of damage or damage mitigation. Which forces you to load up of cooldown reduction. In Diablo you get one use on a 15 second cooldown. The lightning version when properly specced, has no cooldown and you can spam it but you need to spend an entire gear piece to get it there.

PoE has a cooldown on the witches fire teleport of under 10 seconds. But again, having a class that can’t do anything half the time due to cooldowns just feels horrible. I get you don’t want people spamming frost novas or teleports. Died so many times to hearing the grunt of activating frost nova, watching the icon “click” but no frost nova comes out. I hit unstable currents, the toon makes the motion, the sound for the spell activates, the toon makes the grunt of performing an action, but the spell never fires off. Especially when fighting bosses where they don’t get CCD, there goes two thirds of your classes damage straight out the gates and the fight hasn’t even started yet.Īnd maybe this is just me but I’ve also been noticing input issues. Tethering a classes damage to “do you have them CCD? Are they vulnerable? No? Well I’m sorry you don’t get to do damage at this time” feels horrible. On that note, having small windows where you can do damage surrounded by large windows where you aren’t able to do damage just flat out feels terrible. If you’re going to add in a multiplier that every class needs to utilize then each class needs multiple ways to easily proc vuln. So you’re left with two out of 6 skill slots to play with and one enchantment slot.ĭamage too low compared to other classes. You don’t have a choice with the 4 defensive skills. You don’t have a choice with one enchantment slot.

So it doesn’t make sense to be able to be one shot while teleporting. The whole play style is to port in and condense packs. It’s also a great time to teleport into a pack and insta die.

Getting one popped by things you couldnt even know were there. And got one shot sniped 4 times in a row from off screen skeleton bows. QUILL BEASTS! Earlier I was running a tier 50 sigil. And I was getting one shot by quill beasts. Yeah, Have fun with that gameplay.Īt 99, a bubble away from 100, I was running tier 51 aldurwood. Which makes the squishiest class even squishier. On my grind to 100 I learned a lot of things.
