How bad do you think CoC Comet will get gutted? Will it get the triple tap?

It's a fun build but let's be realistic, deleting the whole screen is just insane. What do you think will get nerfed?

Before we talk nerf, why not buff the other spells to be just as fun first?

They will gutted Doedre's ability to generate energy for sure.

I imagine some type of rate limiter. I could also raise the energy requirements of spells with "additional cast time" lines. Perhaps they further reduce the damage dealt with spells cast through CoC and CoEA.

Not that anyone does it but I imagine if they want people to self-cast comet, then comet itself probably shouldn't be nerfed. And if they do nerf comet, people will probably find other skills to socket into cast on crit (I feel like I've seen arc look insane in cast on crit).

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • CoC - Cast on Critical Strike (trigger mechanic, commonly used with Comet and other spells) (Wiki)

Honestly just hope they balance it rather than straight nerf. It feels like garbage at the low end and is way too op at the high end.

There's no point in speculating on nerfs. Best bet is to always league start something new.

Comet has 3 second of base cast time. 500% more cast speed modifier effects.

It's probably gonna be something like " cannot trigger spells more than once every second " which absolutely destroys the top end scaling

But I think comet is the one that's gonna get gutted the most, it just puts out too much damage in a single hit

I think the fix could be pretty simple and elegant: add up the total cast time of the skill(s) socketed into cast on crit and that becomes the new cooldown for CoC. You still bypass the cast animation itself (and the manual button press), but not the intended rate limiter with the skill(s) overall.

It's a endgame build the requires huge investment to get to the point you are talking about. I don't think it needs a nerf, other builds just need to feel similar with equal investment.

its current state is just absurd, so probably getting rekt
