Has there been any news on getting overpower, crit, attack speed and snap shotting sorted with channeled skills and damage over time?
IMO it is such a mess…does attack speed affect channeling skills? Apparently some, but not whirlwind…then why does Gohrs bracers roll with attack speed?
Why can they not overpower or crit? Wait whirlwind can crit…
Why is snapshot still a thing? Why is each tick of channeling and DOT damage not it’s own independent damage, then you can get overpower to work with it and eliminate snapshot.
I just feel the current system limits so many builds and is confusing, not just for new players!

well they recently changed whirlwind to be scalable with AS, and its still a buggy mess, as the ptr showed. Maybe wait till itemisation 3.0
So I was thinking to myself what am I going to play season 6.
I tend to play off meta stuff and see what I can do with them, if I reach a dead end then that’s the end of my season and I wait for the next one.
I saw incinerate was getting some interesting buffs, namely new aspect:
- After channeling Incinerate for 2 seconds it deals (30-70% Weapon Damage) Critical Fire damage per second for 5 seconds. Casting Incinerate refreshes and maintains this bonus.
Then this just opened up so many questions…so incinerate can crit? I have to keep uncasting and casting again to maintain bonus? Does that screw up snap shotting?
Then I notice the new tempers for incinerate “chance to do double damage”. Is that a snapshot thing, or does each proc of DOT have a chance to deal double damage?
Does attack speed affect incinerate? Why can’t it overpower? I know that it can’t in practice, but why not?
There really shouldn’t be this many questions!
