chuck, did you even look at any of the pics of the in-game descriptions? with hawk talons, for instance, why should i rewrite that it converts physical to magic dmg, when you can read that for yourself in the screenshot of the ingame description? are you assuming that players reading this are illiterate or blind?
don't waste your time updating your response. i won't be adding any of the descriptions you posted. it's either info that is already there, or just plain wrong and misleading.
for instance:
same as for Apocalypse , it needs multiple sources and lots of points into it in order to be efficient .
chuck, if a skill needs that much extra skill pts just to do even reasonable dmg, let alone high dmg, that's the very definition of
inefficent.
another example:
@Wyrd : the skill is often used by (melee) builds to deal heavy damage from a safe distance .
if you want to attack from a safe distance, why are you playing a melee build? just play ranged or caster.
in fact, i think the only useful piece of info you managed to provide was that atmg strikes 12 times/sec.
as for ohman, why is the necro with
Tzeentch
Tzeentch
Necromancer Scythes
'TahaTahaQor'
Runeword Level: 100
4% Chance to cast level 27 Punisher Barrage on Kill
20% Chance to cast level 40 Punisher Bolt on Striking
Adds 63-125 Damage
(17 to 21)% Mana stolen per Hit
-(10 to 15)% to Enemy Elemental Resistances
+(126 to 154)% Enhanced Damage
5% Deadly Strike
Hit Causes Monster to Flee +5%
not hit IAS breakpoint and spamming parasite, instead? if he is still dying to weapon swap, why not use voodoo shot? both are homing (which means the actual number of strikes per sec is likely to be the same or even higher on average when lack of spammability due to mana cost is also factored in), both have better wdm multipliers, neither has high mana cost problem, and can be spammed faster than ohman. even with high mana regeneration, it still costs 9000 mana to cast. ur not gonna be spamming ohman.
i'm not that new to the game, chuck. i know what on striking procs are....i'm not even sure you bothered to read my comments. i mention on striking procs throughout the comments.
question still remains, though: how is this OP compared to multihitting skills native to each chars skill tree? is it really even decent, let alone OP, relative to those skills? i doubt it.
if it were that powerful, wouldn't i see it all over the forums? in old forums i remember a lot of mention of rathma's chosen + veil king (back when it was poison immune) to cheese ubers. obviously OP. mentioned often because of how OP it is.
no one else seems to talk about ohman. i think you might be the only one that thinks it's OP. and if you're the only one, it's very likely that it's not.
imo, u are misleading others on how powerful oskills actually are. i think u are confusing powerful for interesting. many of those builds are interesting because they use wildly different skills not seen in skill trees. but again, interesting and powerful are 2 different things.
again, don't waste any more of your time or mine--i won't be including any of your advice in my list--so i'd prefer it if u refrain from posting in my thread at all.
