I'm sure many of you have had the pleasure of leaping or charging into an electrified pack only to effectively lose all 443,274 of your hitpoints seemingly "instantly". For the last few days, I've been fearfully dancing around these mobs, killing them with great caution, cursing them all the while.
Let's discuss Electrified and our successes/failures here in terms of T6 since that is the easiest standard to measure and one which everyone drives toward.
In terms of T6 and without Xephirian Amulet, some things to consider/comment on:
Do you feel Electrified needs a change? If so, what change?
Do you feel Electrified is detrimental to pet users' game-play experience?
Do you feel Electrified is detrimental to melee classes' game-play experience?
Have you been successful as a barbarian tackling head-on Electrified packs?
If so...
1) What Toughness level allowed you to survive direct contact (or impact as it often may be with leap/charge) with a T6 Electrified Pack?
2) What was your lightning resist in this scenario?
On T6, I can handle electrified if I am cautious. Of course there are always occasions where it will still get me. The problem is running in higher greater rifts. I was running with 2 demon hunters and whenever there was an electrified pack, I had to run away like a little pussy while the sentries killed everything. If I tried to charge in, I would die before my charge even finished. Even switching to a defensive passive (~21M toughness) and 50% damage reduction from COTA didn't really make a difference - still insta-die.
I think the problem is that charge procs a lot of bolts and when you pull the monsters with charge, it seems like it doesn't matter which direction the bolt goes, but you get hit by all of them.
One option, though not the greatest in my opinion, is to make it like reflects damage. Let them only proc bolts ~50% of the time and give them an animation showing that they will proc it.
The problem is electrified scales with attack speed purely. Faster you attack, the more it procs. There needs to be a max cap on how many electrified bolts can proc at a time.
Yeah, its fine on T6 but T6 is not the standard anymore, its a cake walk. Its deadly on higher tiered rifts.
Yeah if they limit it to like 1 wave of bolts every 0.5 sec or so... would be a lot better. Right now with a few dh's sentries spamming shots at an electrified pack is just too much... even leads to low fps on certain maps.
I die from both electrified and fire chains instantly, other than that raekor is most ejoyable build in history of diablo. Why chains appears in 0,5s intervals too short to even attack? And electrified also should be interval based just like dmg reflect thats easiest option but not 0,5s thats retarded, maybe something like 2-5s.
I think it's fine. Actually I think some of the other ones should be buffed.
I've only been able to solo grift 30 and beat the time so far, as a condemn sader without unity combo. The only time I don't just stand there and fire is electrified, it forces me to play smarter with kiting and the environment, and I like that.
