REQUEST: Frost damage bonus "shatter"

athena9205 · October 23

I have a request for a new status effect like damage. Can we get a damage AOE explosion, 5 meters, if a enemy dies while under frost activated brittle ? lets say baseline 200 damage in AOE on minor brittle and 400 damage AOE on Major brittle. This could enhance frost builds while not overpowering them adding a new element to the game and giving frost builds some love.

Things like this should just be a thing, either available as a base status effect, or in the champion point perk tree.

Ice should cause shatter like you suggest.

Lightning should cause arcing damage, meaning lightning will arc between nearby enemies, causing additional cleave damage.

Fire already has a good status proc - burning, which causes additional DOT damage, but in order to ramp up cleave damage (like these other 2 suggestions do), fire damage can come with an "intensify" perk that makes the burning more intense (i.e., do more DOT damage) the more targets that are stacked together.

good idea on the magic damages, should have some for the other types too. poison should weaken a target (lower wep damage), disease should be able to spread and lower HP. Bleed damage should drain stamina by a bit.

Things like that.
