    Watched the first minute plus of the second video. Nothing much to see. 1v1 and 1v2 was about it and mostly ganking, not saying ganking is wrong.

    Once out of the 500 ult then the build looses much. No sustain. Burn ult then have to find something to regen it back. Overload builds became much weaker when they nerfed it via reducing max ult to 500.

    It is really irrelevant what one can do with overload with ult available. What is relevant is what the build can do after the ult runs out. I did not see that in the video so the build is questionable. I prefer a build that works with or without ultimate being available.

    I only played this build for 2 days, hence limited clips. I'll bring a fancy compilation in the future

    You could follow the rules like everyone else has to. That's simple too.

    Thread had been moved. The world is suddenly right again, the air fresher, the water cleaner. You can rest easy now forum warriors, your work is done. Now back to discussing the build.

    I like that overload is getting some play again. It was a blast back in the day when it could be double reflected on a sword and board build. I don't even mind if it gets nerfed. Its a clunky ultimate with some situation utility and needs a complete rework one of these days.

    Crystal blast actually being effective on the other hand, is hilarious and this build is worth it just for that. I would love to see Hskbret on NA start using this build. Its made for him.

    In Blobs defence, everyone does "new" builds all the time.
    Just look at Kodi´s latest stamsorc video. It´s been meta since One Tamrieal on stamsorc Werewolf. And people have been using overload builds since dawn of time....so what........

    In the end of the day, all that matters is if people enjoy the build or not.

    Blob, did you happen to gank Lilith Arujo with this build? Maybe repeatedly?

    No, I'm pretty sure he's EU. I've been killed by strong overload attacks before (13k+), but usually it's from the middle of an Xv1. I'm being hard on him mostly because I find the title disagreeable, and the tone in his videos is pretty condescending.

    He's touting his build as basically new and fresh, but it's been done before by other sorcs and copied dozens of times on just PC/NA.

    "My build is different and new because the traits are different, I'm wearing slimecraw, I'm a vampire, and my CP is allocated a little different," just doesn't warrant such a smug attitude imo.

    Not sure if being smug, or just british.

    Being it seems he does not play on EU it is less likely Brittish. Smug, maybe, but he is correct.

    This is going to be fixed(nerfed) the same way as the other blob's exposed gank builds were.

    They either will nerf empowered like they did it with alchemist - you will get empowered buff only if in combat.
    Or they will fix the elegant set to affect only the weapons light and heavy attacks (like stygian was nerfed to buff up only the damage of magica spells).

    Don't expect a well thought balance on this one.

    Penetration means nothing when you are faced with damage shields from shield stacking sorcs, Magblades with wizard riposte and heal ward, MagWardens with 50k+ magic and healing vines behind shields, and high damage MagDKs with heal wards.

    Also, I can acquire that tooltip with comparable spell penetration with CP. I don't need the 3k from Spinners.


    Don't take my word for it tho, I mean it's not like I've been doing max damage yolo sorc builds in 1vX scenarios or anything for like 2 years now. You've revolutionized Overload and we should all just take your word for it as a newcomer in this field. Very original, lol. It's like you discovered something new with Overload. No you didn't fam, sorry to burst your bubble.

    Keep a few things in mind:

    It's a GANK build. You typically hit people with their shields down.

    The Spell Erosion star has diminishing returns. The less you have to focus on it and the more yoz can equally spread between all damage stars, the higher your total damage becomes. Also, Spinner's is the "purest" damage set available, with all boni increasing damage. All others typically have crit chance or other somewhere, except Necropotence.

    Why would a magblade use Wiuard's? You already have two sources of Maim!

    Blob hasn't invented Overload gank builds. But what he did was making use of Crystal BLAST, the red-headed step child that "no one is ever gonna use because of the cast time!". And that is truly hilarious!

    Not really. His use of Crystal blast is identical to how I've always used Crystal frags. And even that is not some secret knowledge I came up with, but you certainly never really see that many sorcs use it that way.... or successful overload sorcs in general. That being something "creative" is nothing more then a veil for people whom may not be aware of such, given limited perspective.


    Crystal Blast pretty much only makes logical sense for an overload build, because successful overload bursts on average or competent players, is only successful because the deadly firepower of overload can be guaranteed to connect that is followed by a knockdown from a frag. The hardcast frag's travel time and the nature of how overload can be weaved into it, is what gives it the true burst.


    TL;DR: Hardcast frag and overload are yin and yang. They both serve each other flawlessly. The underlying mechanic and reasoning for Blobs using Crystal Blast is very old news.

    The stun isn't Blob's reasoning. That would indeed be old news.
    He claims the arced travel path would delay it so that Blast and Overload hit closer to each other. And that is something no one ever considered. Everyone preferred instant frag damage.

    Hardcast normal frags connect the same time as overload as well. This is due to overload being able to be weaved into the channel without needing to do any animation canceling. The game does it for you.

    Only with blast does the overload hit first. This is entirely explained in the video, had you actualy watched it. This ensures Overload is empowered rather than frag. But again, if you are here for anything other than drama, the video is linked to explain that. Since I'm aware that you won't, not have, I don't really know why I bothered writing this
