It is time that this Rune gets fixed so it works with Shadow set. In the past it made sence to turn off the effect but now days DH impale is way behind.

Theres no bug that needs fixing. It was made this way so this rune isnt the MUST HAVE option.
And actually, while it would be a damage boost it would still be bad as it further limits your rolls on your quiver. Basically as it is now, if you roll a good quiver with cold on it, you just roll your bracers to cold and go with it. Just as with fire or w/e.
If one rune is ahead of everything, youd have to roll one of the hardest to perfectly roll item even more exact.
Then just buff the quiver to 150% or 200%. Thats more easier, has not as much potential to bug something and is just the overall better option.
Ok just make all runes work and 6p effect apply to all impale hits. Then all runes are good and the set clears trash as fast as Bosses for some runes. And Grevious wounds is Good for 4 man boss killer setup.
if you make it so that it can clear trash just as fast, its overpowered af and probably gets nerfed soon after removing it completely as RGK.
And the fire rune would out-dps all others probably. Like i said, you limit just yourself in the quiver options by adding the runes to the 6p.
There are no significant damage differences to any impale runes interms of rgk role. If 330 chd is allowed, phy will outperform all other elements.
Atm, you use any element that rolls on your best HPS for rgk. Cold is not compulsory, different from solo.
Wouldn’t you rather it do something, even if they change the rune?
- Enemies damaged by Impale deal 25% less damage for 5 seconds.
- Enemies bleed for 4 seconds after being struck by Impale and take 200% weapon damage per second.
- Killing an enemy increases the damage all other enemies take within 24 yards by 20% for 5 seconds.
etc.
Even if Grievous Wounds skillrune not working with Shadow set, it’s still a comparable option. Not dps wise perhaps but quadrupling the burst output of a critical hit (which can hit up to 3.5-4x damage multiplier with 50-55% chance rating) sure sounds great.
If it were to work with the set, you wouldn’t have any build diversity. Yet even with this state people prefer GW skillrune over the specific set bonus for group pushes. Go check diablofans and icy-veins guides.
