[Feedback] Time to Retire "Cast on Critical" in Patch 0.5

"
"
Cries on public forum is never a good indication of community feedback. They have plenty of contacts among streamers and POE veterans with really good in-depth understanding of the game, who in turn can proxy feedbacks of their local communities.


You`re speaking like coc comet situation is not OBJECTIVELY broken and lacks data to back it up. Your beloved streamers and their proxy are not needed in this case(or any to be honest).


My comment was more generic, not specifically on CoX and Comet. Personally I don't care about CoC Comet like at all. GGG pretty much always nerf top meta builds in POE1/2 every league.

What you see on POE Ninja right now merely reflects that 99% of players were farming the temple, and in the late league it was one of the most viable builds for fast clearing with decent damage.

If you keep any league running long enough with all players farming the exact same mechanic, it will eventually converge on the most optimal strategy and build. Whether it's Comet or something else doesn't matter that much.

Great


Threads about CoC


It’s even in the title
Mash the clean
Not sure why we are still discussing this.
No gem should be 37% of the top population. If it is, thats a balance issue.
Think of it from the perspective of other competitive games, god forgive me for mentioning this abomination but imagine if League of Legends a player character was picked 37% of the entire games It would be hotfixed immediately that day.

As someone said comet is an equivalent of "hammer of the gods" for spell casters. It's a quirky long cast time spell that you have to time well in a fight. This "cast on crit" thing now has comets raining from the sky all over the place.. At least put a timeout on it for like 15s until it can trigger again. I'm sure they'll fix this though, it's so broken it's unreal.

That's why is should be simply removed from the game.

Jonathan, I urge you to consider removing "Cast on Critical" to put this issue to bed.

Thanks for consideration!
Who else wants to see GGG retire CoC?
All cast on stuff need the GGG triple tap. Or an internal cooldown that cannot be reduced ingame (else everyone will roll cooldown reduction titan).
Heralds also need to stop self-propagating.

I agree cast on stuff needs the triple tap.

lol this forum as usual only asking for stuff to be remove :D i think cast on whatever mechanics enable lot of build wich increase option wich is fine (i did not play comet this league before you all start ranting, when i eft the league there was plenty of totaly viable end game build with no comet involved or coc for that matter). Maybe they'll tweak it but remove it yeah, sure buddy.
