Force Shock and another weapon spam is still the best spam for some classes

GrimStyx · April 2023

For example, the Staff of Destruction passive gives 10% Armor Penetration, which is very important since most PvP builds try to run at max stats (despite Necro's 50% skull buff with 3 skulls) while still having a good chance of inflicting 3 status types. Two-handed weapons give a small berserk, another morph already has a built-in stun. My request is to reward classes for playing with their ability spamming, if the player is playing exclusively through class abilities, make them much stronger in combination with other class abilities

also, warden, Sorc loses in spam abilities, but warden at least has good synergy with frosty clench, especially with the master’s staff, but unfortunately, this is what spoils the variability, because these classes simply don’t have their own strong spam. Even the spam of the arcanist turned out to be rather weak in pvp realities

the 10% armor penetration is kind of a misnomer, its actually +10% to your penetration values

this is how the maces for dual wield and 2h worked until they were changed to fixed penetration values

so this effect works as long as you have a destro staff equipped and does not apply to only destro skills

in terms of spammable, i would agree that something like crushing shock is far better because it is also a ranged interrupt

i think the skulls would probably be better on a necro if it weaved better, and the base dmg was increased by about 20%, as it unfortunately feels very slow (its not as bad as the warden cliff diver, but still kind of bad)

A question: how do we best replenish the magicka drained by crushing shock? It drains magicka very quickly when you spam it.

Being able to weave better wouldnt make it better. Force Pulse is still superior since it can ''ricochet'' with every cast in most cases

I wanted to make a thread on this. Weapon skills and other skill lines should not be needed on any class. They should only offer alternative play styles. Every class should have a viable spammable.

I have been practicing this being new to the Necromancer and I agree that is just feels really slow. I have been a funnel weaver for a long time on my NB and it feels so much faster. I wish the skulls moved through the air faster as well...
