Please I'd like to think about it as a feature, so don't alert the devs about it! If that gets patched I'll be screaming my fucking lungs off.

It's definitely not a feature. :p How you trigger it is so random that it cannot be anything than a bug. But I don't think it will be fixed anytime soon as it doesn't really "break the game" and they have more thing to fix first. But yeah, I will someday not be available.

Hello Exile!

It is not triggered randomly, there's an actual way to do it, it's not random at all. Maybe you should keep practicing it, as I said in the guide and everytime anyone asks about it, it's just a matter of practice.

Either way the way it works does not feel like it's unintentional at all, also please reed the room, I'm trying to make it last as longer as it's possible.

Inevitable Critical is, in a really short way, a +20% crit chance 90% of the time, if you don't take it you'll be having around 40-50% crit chance, with Inev Crit you have around 60-70%

Yeah, I know what it does on paper, but the gem says that bonus lasts until first crit, so if Bonestorm projectiles crit independently (which is suggested by its Sustained tag), then the bonus would affect only the first couple of projectiles and does nothing for another 18 projectiles making gem practically useless… maybe there is a way to test it by hitting some stationary boss with open tooltip and looking when crit drop happens during the flight or only when the last projectile hits

Hello Exile!

I said it's 90% of the time because, Bonestorm lasts between 3-4 seconds to make the full cast. Since it's how you use it 90% of the time, you'll get the full value of the gem 90% of the time, but if you insist on NOT taking you should not take it, play however you want. This guide is not in the intention of "yeah guys this is the best way ever you can't make it work any way else", it's just a way to people to stop having a bad time playing this build, and letting them a full open room to experimentation!

When I said "random" it was more about how you do it that doesn't feel "right". If it was a feature of Bonestorm to be able to "run" while channeling, they wouldn't made it as a "trick" especially without telling IG how to do it. But like I said, I don't think it will be fixed anytime soon.

Just because theres a set way to reproduce it doesnt mean its not a bug lol (theres a phrase for that too! Reproducing bugs on purpose equals... bug abuse!), and being in denial about it being a bug is kinda silly, sure enjoy it while it lasts but i wouldnt rely on it for a build lol *edit: replied to the wrong comment but you can see the og in their reply so its still fine ig*

Hi, i just want to share the build that im currently working on. Feels very simple, especially when u encounter bosses, clearing maps with just 2 buttons cage+explosion. Charging bonestorm only against elites, everything else is dying by itself, no mana struggle.
But i don't know the useful alternative for rings and belt.

Im running a lot of T5/T6 and clear seems great. Survivability not quite there but I don't have my res capped or life stacked at all.
I really suggest going 75% block, it does wonders for survivability;

Heres's a clip of the first T7 I did on this character:

Hey, just wanted to give a little insight on the timing for momentum and full speed on channeling.

I was having a lot of issues with it until I was able to figure out the visual cue. The previous mentioned binding on LMB and RMB weren't reliable working so I figured I'd share what I discovered.

This is using Bone Storm lvl 12, with Brutality, Momentum, and Arcane Tempo

Activate with a short press and you'll se your arm raising up above your head. The moment you see the green glow form if you hold it down it should get your timing a lot closer to where it needs to be to succeed. I can usually say "one" in my head between the click and hold phase and have rather consistent results.

-edit
Another thing I've noticed, is that either you won't be able to jog if you hold too early, and holding too late will result in a single spike. And it does seem that after unslotting Arcane Tempo, the timing window does change with cast speed.

Nice dps with bonestorm there sir.

Altough would be nice to see some gameplay. Im concerned about the elemental dmg you take with that amount of uniques and other resistance reductions.

When we get fast way to generate power charges w/o aim n clicking, im off to some cast on crit testing, but so far its kinda useless since you cant put bone blast into it, and every other skill will be cast too occasionally to be used in cast on crit.

Your guides great and all but its almost impossible to tell what skills you use other than bonestorm and bonecage. It would be worlds better if you just listed all the skills and all the supports. This is really scattered all over the place.

Just for u, i didn't planned the record session, i hope it's enough for a preview.
