DonArkanio.6419 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hey,In previous threads there popped an interesting idea and I'm going to try to expand it a bit.As we know, many people want EtD cast time removed, so it is insta. It's hard to argue with as this skill feels very flat - it basically pulses Torment and gives some extra stat %.Here's an idea:Embrace the Darkness-6 energy upkeepBlindness - Condition effect ignoredLose health per interval: 1s ~ 350 - 500 HPConsume 1 condition per interval: 1sEach condition consumed gives you 2% All Stat increase bonus, up to 50%; - you'd need 25s to build up maximum, so in PvP it is very unlikely.In this scenario you would more likely use Pain Absorption to gain as much All Stat % bonus as possible. You wouldn't end up in pulling condis on you and "then what?" No Herald needed for True Nature.Pulsating Persistence - EtD now instead of consuming conditions, transfers them onto your foes. Still gives the Stat Bonus.This would work with Maniacal Persistence Trait, Replenishing Despair could use some extra healing to compensate for health loss during EtD.I mean, just to make Mallyx more interesting this could be a fun way of playing around the builds using Mallyx. Let it be evil, let it scale to be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunaeclipse.6843 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 i'd rather see your suggested trait replace diabolic inferno, which is generally useless literally everywhere in almost every build (the raid build hasn't run that trait for going on a year).But i really like the idea.

Justine.6351 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah I imagine in pvp it would be very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcx.3570 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The irony of giving yourself 500hp/second health degeneration in order to counter periodic damage is not lost...That's a bit like how necro's consume conditions also gives them conditions. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Za Shaloc.3908 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I am very much against such a change to Pulsating Pestilence. That trait in its current form is godly and a big part of what makes Mallyx able to be a condition manipulator. Would be devastating to see it go and have the Corruption line become even more exclusive to Mallyx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is to focus mainly on the Mallyx. While Retribution has been becoming more on pair with Invocation for Core Rev, Corruption is still very Mallyx-exclusive. I would really want to have that little bit of HoT-Launch Mallyx feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the whole point is to make Mallyx feel more demonish. It's the only actual evil legend we have and I would love it to be 200% evil.Of course this is just a suggestion and I know some people are going to dislike it. Retribution changes were one of the best we had in my opinion. It enabled me to play at plat-level in PvP with Condi Codi Revenant. Having the same treatment being applied to Corruption would be awesome. But first, I'd want Mallyx to feel really malicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it could use a radius increase just so it can hit things more reliably. At least against any moving target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This idea conflics with support role which teammates will be running. I dont like this change, because it creates this conflict between allies trying to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
