Questions about Bone Blast

10

Hello all, playing Bone Blast on a Blood Mage.

I had some questions about some interactions that it has with some skills as well as seeking advice as I get into T15 maps.

  • Would ricochet work when using the Snakepit Pearl Ring? If so, would it be beneficial to run it? Would there be a shotgunning ricochet effect on bosses (especially if I anoint split shot for extra projectiles)? Or just useless?
  • Do you find Snakepit Pearl ring in left slot (fork) or right slot (chain) to be superior?
  • What is the breakpoint where you can fully channel all of Bonestorm with just a single click?
  • Is there an easier way to get power charges aside from Profane Ritual? It just feels a bit clunky to play with the delay (even with reduced delay supports).
  • Is it worth speccing into bleed at all or just wasted passive points?

Thanks!

It took me some re-reading to realize you were talking about bonestorm not bone blast (The wand skill)

> Do you find Snakepit Pearl ring in left slot (fork) or right slot (chain) to be superior?

I prefer fork.

> What is the breakpoint where you can fully channel all of Bonestorm with just a single click?

Due to not having 100% chance for +2 proj on top of +2, I haven't found a way to make it a consistent one click, so I just opted for more cast speed to have a full one in what feels like one click.

You can pin and use resonance with combat frenzy, you can use volls if you crit enough, you can use redflare conduit

> Is it worth speccing into bleed at all or just wasted passive points?

I don't go out of my way for bleed.
