Skills like Ignite Weapon

On Friday's livestream, @Chris was talking about maybe putting other weapon charge-up skills like Ignite Weapon into the other elemental magic schools. I think this would be excellent! What do you think the chance is that this will actually happen? I personally feel like it has an extremely low chance of ever making it into the game.

 

That would be interesting. For Earth, you could have a "Harden Weapon" that makes it like diamond and greatly reduces the damage to durability. However, I agree with your assessment of an extremely low chance of making it in game since there are so many other things that need to be done first.

 

I would add it to focus tree, a skill that imbues the weapon depending on which gem is socketed.

 

That's a really good idea.

 

I just want my arrows to be on "Fire" for fire damage or "Poison" for all sorts of maladies or "bleed" profusely where HP regen is slowed, let my arrows go through & through... I can imagine a lot more, but these are my favorites....

 

These are already there.

 

I can't use "Ignite" weapon on my arrows, so How do I do that? How do I use "Poisons"? and "Bleeding" (or rend), How do I use that for arrows? Please enlighten me...

 

With a bow equipped, cast Ignite Weapon or use a poison from your utility bar.

[edit] Corpion poison is especially good with attack speed buffs.

 

Basically you will Ignite or Poison the first arrow fired every time, so a rapidfire should only apply poison or fire on the first arrow (unless that was changed.) As for a rend or bleeding effect, you have the Festering poison that does somewhat the job. Using poisons can get you becoming creative depending on your situation.

 

LOL he already forgot. Trust me

 

There was activity on this topic in company chat today, though no definites. Quite possible... 2020 Vision indicates a good handful of skills and perhaps combos coming your way this year.

Nice!

Okay! NICE!​

UHHH NICE

YES! FINALLY! I WANT! I WANT THIS!!!

 

Air - Lightning visual effect - lightning damage and has a chance to stun mobs
Water - Ice visual effect - Ice damage and has a chacne to slow mobs
Earth - Earth visual effect - (can't think of anything)
Death - Black/Reddish Aura on the weapon Drains life and has a chance to replinish yours.

Just some ideas.

 

Earth - Extra durability resistance, maybe a little weapon damage boost?

 

Earth - Damage boost or chance to earthquake.

 

Isnt the tremor enchant a "chance to earthquake" already?

 

I think so. not sure.

 

Earth - -%glancing blow debuff on hit (like blind but specific to glancing blows since it acts more like bludgeon weapons; bludgeon weapons cannot glance)
