Archon Cost: 25 Arcane Power / Cooldown: 120 seconds / Transform into a being of pure arcane energy for 1520 seconds. While in Archon form, your normal abilities are replaced by powerful Archon abilities and your Armor and resistances are increased by 4050%. / Each enemy killed while in Archon form increases your damage by 312% for the remaining duration of Archon.e as Arcane to all enemies within 15 yards
Arcane Destruction : An explosion erupts around you when you transform, dealing 16006601% weapon damage
Ok so I saw the recent changes/testing of the skill above.. 6601% weapon damage.. Jesus...
I can only imagine how badly i would get this plus put all my nepahlem points into reduce cooldown on skills! If i could use this once every minute it would be awesome!
Or if they introduce PvP.. BOOM!
Obviously it is subject to change... but this got me excited about the future of archon
Almost all skills got an insane damage boost. They didn't just "double it", but more like "quadruple it".
Let's wait what all this is about. I could imagine they just wanna magnify the effects of some skills to see if any of them become too powerful at some point. Or they do this to make skills less gear-dependent. We don't know what else has been changed (internally, engine-wise, such stuff can't be datamined). I doubt this will go live though...

Yes, but even if they toned it down to say 3000%... I could see me using this as a nuke every 60 seconds and then cancelling Archon so I can use normal skills.
I think the reduce cooldown of skills in Paragon 2.0, could be a lot cooler than just picking a straight up DPS stats like +attack speed %.
I can see me doing things like Black Hole (on current location to draw in enemies)-> Frost Nova -> Archon Destruction-> Cancel Archon -> Wave of Force
I also think that the massive increase in damage % dealt by skills means that they are trying to make stuff less gear dependent.
I think it's to give skills a role... I mean, back then... two Resource Generation could deal the same amount of damage as a Resource Spender (sometimes, it could deal more!). With this change, Spender deal a lot more damage than generator (well, except the Barb's generator with cooldown, I suppose).

Could the future hurry up please..
hmmm .. maybe I should add force armour or something then...
Hoping that I can 1 shot elites with this skill add a SoJ + Diamond in the Weapon etc..
Diamond in the helm also to reduce cooldown
6000% weapon damage is insane, but I think I prefer Barb's Earthquake - Ground Stomp. Now, that is real madness.

Won't work so long as everything is based on weapon damage
