It’s clunky, bad looking, does not very good damage, and is just a band aide to try and fix the necro skill tree because other skills are severely lacking functionality.
You should not use it and should come up with builds that work without it until it’s changed.
Be original and stop copying build guides where they use BCE for every build.
It definitely needs a second look, no question about it.
But it serves it’s purpose despite not having looked at “build guides” as I find it more enjoyable to trial and error builds than have someone say what I “should” be playing.
Yeah.
I’m starting to see a trend here, I generally just scroll past his comments to be honest as they are rarely insightful and are generally just negative.
Constant reports of what “streamers” are doing etc.
If I wanted to know what they were up to, I’d go look myself.
Definitely don’t need live updates like it’s the news about what others are doing.
BCE is clunky to use and requires you to hunt for corpses under it’s animation which is hard to see through and requires you to place your mouse directly on top of it instead of near it.
BCE does poor damage yet is still one of the most useful damage skills simply because it doesn’t cost essence (how is this OK?)
BCE doesn’t proc lucky hit hardly at all and makes it almost useless for builds that would like it to proc lucky hit
BCE is one of the best essence generators and so not only is it good for damage (but not great) it helps refund essence. That seems weird. It’s better than the basic skills by a lot.
It’s a poorly designed skill that does too much and not enough at the same time. They need to pick a direction for it. Either make it utility or make it damage.
It’s preferable to state that it is what you think, or that it’s “from your experience”, anything that doesn’t look like it’s the Truth. Especially when the only thing that could be considered factual if actually true (not saying it’s false, nor true) is that it doesn’t do very good damage.
I’m sorry it’s this difficult for you to understand the difference between facts and opinions. Clearly I can’t make statements like this as facts so I assumed it was clear it was opinions.
And theres the difference.
Try playing it with a controller.
As long as you’re facing the right direction, it auto targets the corpse nearest to your target.
Absolutely wonderful to be honest because controllers can’t target in the middle of a horde like a mouse can even remotely as efficiently.
But then barbs on console lose on HoTa compared to keyboard/mouse.
Should be the same across the board but it’s not the easiest I imagine when one option is point and click and the other option doesn’t allow for that.
Just because you wanna use a mouse and keyboard doesn’t make a skill as you describe it.
Or try specifically saying on mouse and keyboard only as you’ll get less pushback that way, which with you always seems to turn into a pissing contest.
Maybe people jump the gun when you post because you have a history of being…infuriating to talk to.
Maybe it’s time to take a break from the forums.
But with all that said.
BCE works just fine, could it use some quality of life changes? Sure.
I mean, you named your topic “Blighted corpse explosion is a bad skill and you should not use it”, advising to " not use it" and to “come up with builds that work without it until it’s changed”, based on, admitedly, your opinion that “it’s clunky, bad looking, does not very good damage, and is just a band aide to try and fix the necro skill tree because other skills are severely lacking functionality” (by the way, “don’t use that thing because it’s the best you have, use something else, something worse”, what kind of advice is that ?)
But maybe i’m the only one reading it like that. Maybe i’m the only one who can’t understand what you say. Repeatedly.
Thats how I read it to tbh.
Main reason I gave the troll some food this time around instead of just scrolling by.
Opinions stated as facts based on personal experience (which seems to come from watching others, so second hand experience at that) always irk me for some reason.
Amazing. He’s ignoring you AND replying at the same time. Almost as consistent as stating opinions and then arguing like they are objective truth, and then arguing that your opinions stated as fact were opinions as of that is also a fact.
All I can think of now is James Cameron and South Park.
Singularity only says only what Singularity says because Singularity only does what Singularity does only for Singularity because he’s only Singularity.
