Hey there, everyone! We have community members constantly pitching ideas for passive nodes scattered around our social channels and as we dive into some updates to the passive trees we’d like to invite you to place your ideas in one centralized location - here! You may just see your idea or an iteration of it show up in-game.
Let us know if your node idea is for the base class or a mastery class.
A passive that summons a new Skeleton every X seconds (up to your Skeleton limit)
EDIT: My bad, i was thinking about Skill Augments in the skill tree.
I have not played enough to unlock the passives for Necromancer, so maybe it already exists?
Would still be a fun endgame passive to have, though 
Warlock:
Deal x% more damage, on enemies with only 1 curse active.
Deal x% more damage on enemies with more than x curses active.
Cursed enemies explode on death.
x% chance to spread a curse on kill.
x% chance for a curse to stack x amount of times.
Lich:
x% more damage at low health.
x% chance to survive a fatal hit.
x% more health regeneration, if x corpses are nearby.
Posession - You posess an enemy and link you spells to him, so the startpoint of all you’r casts is the posessed enemy.
Merge Undead - Transformer skelettons ftw! You merge X skeletons into an uber SKELETON. it get’s enhanced stats and if you can spawn more minions you can transform them into more uber SKELETONS.
Shade - immunity frame for X (0.08 sec or something) after you cast a spell.
What i always like is, if skills change your gameplay, or make you think about things while you play and not just in terms of your Setup/Build/Loadout.
For example a gain a stackable buff which increases the Attackspeed and the Dmg done but also the Dmg taken.
You can use a Skill which consumes the Stacks and does a big chunk of dmg.
Could be a new or an existing one.
So you always have to balance between Survival and Dmg.
Depending on the Scaling the balancing has to account for DoT Playstyles so it doesnt go completly out of controll.
For example:
Max stack: 10
1% Attackspeed/stack
0,5% Dmg. done/stack
2% Dmg. taken/stack
10% Attackspeed
5% Dmg done
20% Dmg. taken
From what i see there are maybe two different ways to look at this.
The first one is easier to balance while the second one would be, in my opinion, more fun and the players would have a higher skill cap to reach.
so long 
Warlock ideas:
Bouncing of the idea from @GeoGalvanic and what came to my mind when looking at my Lich was:
When a shield is equipped:
Even though it may be a balancing thing, but what i encountert was that i sometimes stand without mana and full life and have to wait and run around.
Of course it should be easily fixable via balancing but the situations could also be used to play “around with it”
so long
I don’t actually have the game yet so if I suggest something that is already in the game I apologize. Also not really sure what you guys on the dev team are looking to do with the passives. From the ones I can see they seem to affect numbers more than actual gameplay which in my opinion makes them feel kinda boring (not to be mean I feel bad typing this because I love you guys and what you’re doing).
Necromancer Passives I would like to see (or if they spark a cool idea that’d be cool too) -
It would have pretty good synergy with the sacrifice skill setting the stage for some kind of minion death build.
Fanatical Rebirth - x% chance per point to bring the enemies you kill back to life upon death to fight for you for x seconds. (I just love the idea of having an enormous undead army >.<) capped at however many summons it needs to be for balance sake. (Just saw the Putrid Retribution passive not sure if this one is too similar to that one but they are a bit different so I figured I’d leave it here)
Blood for Bone - Permanently sacrifice x% of your own max hp per point to increase your maximum skeleton summons by x.
Lich -
Can’t think of any more right now so if/when I do I’ll come back and post em
Edit: After playing for a bit I realized some of these already exist in some form via the skill specializations

I feel like there should be ways of gaining more generic buffs; such as Haste and Frenzy, instead of so many unique ones on so many different skills and passive trees. There should be multiple ways of gaining the buffs and they should also be easily recognisable at a glance. I also like the idea of having buffs scale with level as to make them more viable late game. The numbers are kept low, since these buffs shouldn’t make your character too powerful early game.
These ideas are just to get discussions rolling, so please add your own generic buff ideas that can be obtained in different ways and augmented further.
I will start these discussions for each base class with 3 buff suggestions. Don’t hold yourself back with crazy ideas!
Effect
Lingering Souls surround you for 4 seconds and give you 5% Mana regen. You can have a maximum of 5 Lingering Souls at a time.
How to obtain
Augments
Effect
10% increased Movement speed and the ability to ignore unit collision for 4 seconds. Cannot stack.

Augments
Effect
1% increased Necrotic damage per character level for 4 seconds. Cannot stack.

Its not too crazy but a passive giving 5%-10% minion movement speed per point would feel extremely nice for the necromancer since there is no active skill we can use to force them to our current location. This could be sprinkled into a node that gives attack speed as well since it would fit flavorfully and make sense. .
Minion movement speed is a valuable quality of life stat that would be very nice if it were available on the necromancer tree.
So my suggestion, would be to add minion Movespeed to one or 2 of the later Passives in the Necromancer tree (post Mastery) to give this quality of life stat some room to be utilized.
Another idea would be to take minions when they get low and cause them to detonate at maybe 20% hp for a percentage of their maximum HP as damage or have it be a flat number (scale-able by minion HP or Minion damage stats) in a small/medium sized around them. As a downside, this could come with a penalty to Minion HP or turn off minion regen.
Could create interesting build ideas around the spectres and design space for uniques items to cause degen to your minions to kill them faster or adjust how these detonations work.
That would be interesting, as it could kind of mitigate the minions’ weakness to damage over time effect or strong aoe hits. Those are a big downside to minion builds in higher arena/monolith levels.
I have always been a fan of having 1 - 2 strong minions as opposed to the menagerie of 20 little dudes following me around. The Necromancer already has the Dread Phalanx node for Summon Skeletons and the Archmage node for Skeleton Mages that can be the basis for what I have in mind.
Right now the more you progress in the Talent Tree the weaker the Archmage option gets because of the static scaling it offers, while Dread Phalanx is a net damage loss at all times.
I would really like to see these two nodes offer dynamic scaling of damage/health/other stats based on the maximum number of the type of minion you can summon. It would also be great if the big boy minions could learn new spells - an ultimate attack for the Archmage for example that unlocks after you get the passives and talents that let you summon 5 mages at a time.
Now, I realize that customizing the appearance of these Champion minions would be a bit much to ask for, but it would be nice for them to get a new appearance that is not just the base model scaled up a bit.
A nice thing would be a passive that allows to scale wards based of health sacrificed. Similar to the unique armor Exsanguinous. Instead of being Ward generated per second. It would be “Life spent is gained as ward” Could be a 0/5 point with 10%
I’m not sure how powerful and/or doable it would be.
P.S.: I might have missed it in the tree somewhere, but last time I checked, I didn’t see anything like that
Hi, I would like to suggest a new skill/maybe node that completely changes rip blood. I was thinking about a new skill/maybe node called (raining blood yes like slayer’s song) visually something like a meteor shower falling from the sky, does a bit of damage and slows mobs. Could be a totally new skill or just a node that gives the % chance effect to rain blood. Thanks guys
