Looks great!
One question though… skills that had synergistic traits with ice thorns, such as the summon Grizzly, when changed to a caster… how do we scale that now? There were a few synergies with the old, but now removed spells. Have these changes been accounted for? Just curious
It does not - The totem node - “Looming Gale” replaces the ‘strike’ with a tempest totem. Removing a tempest does not remove the strike from the combo.
We’ve been planning the removal of Ice Thorns for a while - I believe we have already previously changed skill references, such as Primal Bear away from Ice Thorns? For instance, the Primal Bear has a subskill “Briar Thorns” instead of casting Ice Thorns. For affixes, they’re being replaced with Gathering Storm affixes.
Wow a nice buff to all the lightning in the Primalist trees. Assuming this includes Shaman passives, Fury Leap, Maelstrom, Tornado, Werebear and Earthquake and of course give a use for Storm breaker Mace.
Everything here looks nice! But is there something planned for pure Spriggan form? Ice thorns offered great def (~5% dr via armor), especially for hc. And when playing a pure spriggan form totem build you barely had options for specializations, unless im missing something, its either ice thorns or storm totem once you get the lagon relic
