Current beta list of spells with x-y's increase/decrease

This is a link to a spreadsheet on reddit showing what current x-y's on lvl 20 gems are for spells at the moment.

http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/33mq4h/spoiler_all_spells_13_vs_20_at_lv20_datamined/

Freezing pulse is getting a 62% Buff ( from 318 to 516 average ) Might not need shotgun anymore to deliver damage.

Spark is getting a 72.70 % buff which is actually insane ( from 190 to 329 ) this is 1/4 more than the damage of two sparks hitting you. Spark might become actually sick for pvp if you can stack them to bounce on walls with projectile speed and duration.

Lightning trap has a 90% buff, they might become a real pain in the ass to deal with paired with crit, possibily become the next bear trap damage.

Fire storm and glacial cascade ball lightning all receives around a 30% buff and were not affected by the shotgun nerf, could become very good as well.

Arc decreased by 1.5% ( not sure what's the point )


Lightning tendrils on other hand was already very bad in pvp and in beta it is down by 17% , i can pretty much see this skill become the worst spell to use in pvp.

The shotgun nerf is not so bad to deal with, just investing in more damage and dropping LMP for another type of damage addon support will do a lot of the job. GGG buffing the main damage from skills for that reason and i think that's a pretty good move.

Casters aren't fucked too much in the end if these stick around, still pretty confident in doing well after 1.4 with every else that's coming out !


If these stick around from beta this is most likely what we will get, but the informations are not set in cement.

I think it was assumed that spells would be buff to compensate. The real concern (for me at least) and although it is a minority build, is how pure ELE attack characters will deal with this huge nerf.

Obviously, numbers were not fix though and knowing what gems to play around with is nice
It's hard to remember what you have forgotten

Why are police looking for missing people? None of them were missing last time I saw them
Well Idk how obvious it was, many people were spelling doom for casters. But it is definitely cool to know. Interesting arc nerf :P
The Arc nerf is probably related to the new wrath.
