This is about Abyssal Echoes (AE) and three of its nodes whose functions/mechanics can easily be misunderstood.
Main Skill Description
It states the following:
A nova that echoes from up to 8 enemies […]
IMO it would be beneficial to use a term other then “echoes” to rule out confusion with Void Knights class mechanic entirely. This term can also lead to even more confusion when the following skill nodes come into play.
Node: Vorpal Explosion
Abyssal Echoes […] no longer chains.
Where does that “chains” suddenly come from and how is it related to AE? The skill is supposed to echo and doesn’t chain, right? That are the thoughts that somebody without any or sometimes even with experience with the skill could run into.
Node: Corrupting Harness
Abyssal Echoes can chain additional times. This effect is tripled for echoed casts.
Same problem as before but now are both terms thrown into the mix. “Chain” is the same like the one found in Vorpal Explosion, while it’s still not clear what is meant by it. And “echoes” could refer both to the “echo” described in AE’s skill description or Void Knight’s class mechanic.
Node: Resounding Abyss
Echoed casts deal more damage […]
What “echo” is it speaking of? The skills inherent echo (i.e. chain) or the Void Knight’s class mechanic?
