Mutually exclusive: right now there is a problem where every ice or fire spell is and will be about dealing damage with thermal shock. To stop having such a narrow scope of viable builds I think boosts must be both mutually exclusive and broad. The OP suggestions are great, in particular combining the last two belts (most likely also without the armor penalty).

Instead, we got the Arena, nerfed drops, no gems from ads and weird nerfs like MagTrap or Paradox. There were several threads and posts on how to improve Arcanist, SCR and even Igniters Belt builds, by several players. To same extent, nothing what requires deep coding, just a modification of existing stuff. PS! We are planning to give a more detailed suggestions regards arcanist. Also it will make the deflect a stat to desire, not just something for wet crafting.įor Arcanist, it would help, but not to make it completely viable, having 2 stacks of lightning struck from belt would be a huge bump since you do get hit a lot while in SOFT, but it would be a start.

I strongly think that those 2 changes would help to bring SCR on par with ELR. In addition you should make the lighting struck stack up to 2 stacks, no matter the source. Only usable either on SCR or Arcanist while both sets are in desperate need of buffi and everyone whould like to use both of them at the same time, then why not have that option?įor SCR it would really hit 2 flies in one hit, deflect gives it the much needed defensive buff and having lightning struck up more, a damage buff. Igniters belt - Increase the weapon damage % to 1000% instead 500%, it would be a small step towards making fire build closer to frostbeam buildīelt of the whispered secrets + Arcane belt of shielding - join those 2 belts, separately they do not make much sense. I think that some cool farming builds would emerge from this change. This would make the belt usable for faming builds where keeping aggro on a lot of mobs is problematic.

Illusionist belt - have the blinks put the fire dot on all visible and aggroed monsters when they first appear, instead only to the one targeted. It would make them a lot better options and help balancing some aspects of the mage sets. I hereby suggest small changes to 4 of the belts. Now we have many belts to craft, but only a few of them are usable.
