Attrition Buff skill is very weak and support gems too expensive!

Definitely needs more love from Devs.

1. All support gems cost a fortune in Spirit and there is no other support gem that grand diferent types of cost.

2. Most Lineage gems can't be socketed in Attrition Buff skill.

3. Mechanism of staying close to Boss (presence) to trigger bonus of damage isn't possible sometimes due to the movement of boss outside the playable battlefield so basically trying maximize the 'more damage' bonus seems ridiculous impossible. (Also presence radius have some issues of finding ways to significant increase it that makes even harder to stay close to boss for ranged classes.)

4. Furthermore damage bonus that provides (1% per 2 sec in presence) isn't remunerative to cost skill (60 Spirit).

5. All recommended support gems provide no buff to power or regeneration time of damage bonus thus most other support modifiers are useless for some builds depending on DPS.

Please GGG 🙏 make some changes to 0.4.0 patch.

+1. I noticed that support gems for this skill have insane spirit cost. Only one Lineage is usable and doesn't bring diference to overall buff couse reaching to max damage bonus is impossible...

i believe attrition should be buffed . whether the uptick of damage is faster or presence is doubled or tripled to make up for mobile bosses. Additionally I believe the spirit cost should come down to 40.

My mind set here is that typically only low damage or tank builds will use this ability. Maximizing defenses usually sacrifice things such as spirit therefore a lower spirit cost is warranted.

Indeed the cost of skill is insane compared of what it provides. If add the expensive support gems too then it doesn't worth it to invest. Furthermore more supportive gems doesn't related with presence or damage.

I believe spirit cost should stay around 45-50 but all support gems shouldn't cost spirit. The mechanism of effect should change to:

1. 10% more damage every 2 sec in presence (max 50%) when reaching max value restarts the effect.
Or
2. +5% more damage in every sec ( max value 50%)

Saying this since 0.1
100% agree

This spirit skill is underperforming as hell
Maybe worth 20 spirit but not 60

And even with +3 level Lineage gem , this skill is garbage. Totally mechanism idea should be reworked or it is another skill for warrior class.

+1000.

+1 to this...

The current gems are fine. They need to add some new gems that it doesn't rely on spirit cost.

Mechanism from the other hand is awfully designed or benefits only again Warrior class. Make it more weaker in DPS but give significant less time reaching max value.

everyone here has good feedback, I hope GGG sees this as I would love to utilize attrition on my smith of kitava

Gems are too expensive. So you need 80-100 spirit cost for gems and another 60 FOR WHAT?
1% damage per 2 sec in presence? Are you serious? Who can stay close to boss for about 120 sec to reach max value?

Ah... i forgot OP builds. But wait a minute. Why the heck need an OP build Attrition buff skill when bosses fall in 2 sec in front of them.....
