Problem

On one hand, Blood Golem is an underused skill. While it deals area damage, its level of damage is currently insignificant in end-game. It does not cost health, thus cannot be buffed by Trag’Oul’s Avatar 6 pieces bonus.

On the other hand, Trag’Oul’s Avatar 6 pieces bonus is a dead end as it buffs powerful Life-spending skills like Corpse Lance and Skeletal Mage. Both Corpse Lance and Skeletal Mage have better builds. Trag’Oul’s Avatar is left useless. It’s unique 4 pieces bonus is not exploited at its full potential.

Proposal

Buff Blood Golem based on Trag’Oul’s Avatar 4 pieces bonus.

Power

Veiny Tendrils stun enemies for 3 seconds, deal 0.5%
increased damage per point of extra Life, and increase
your maximum Life by 150% for 15 seconds.
[100 - 200]% (Necromancer Only)

Aka business as usual. But you didn’t have to bump this trash…no one was paying attention to it. Another few hours and it would’ve been buried for good.

So season of the necro then? Because that’s the only class this would benefit. Not a great idea.

Lol look at who the OP is…ever seen a good idea come from him?

It is (obviously) not a seasonal theme, but a change that I would expect to land in season 28.

It introduces a new gameplay based on Life.

Few alterations.

Relatively easy to code.

Trag’Oul’s Avatar needs love :heart:

Noppe. Blood Nova build whit Siphon Blood synergy or nothing.

You can try to propose such a build.

The problem is, everything you can do with Trag’Oul’s Avatar (Corpse Lance, Mage, Nova, …etc.) deals much more damage using using Legacy of Dreams and / or Nayr’s Black Death.

I updated the proposal with 2 options:

  • Proposal A - Legendary Power on Amulet
  • Proposal B - Replace Trag’Oul’s Avatar 6 pieces bonus
