I think one of the main problems with this discussion is that people are treating this as a skill in itself and not treating it as just a unique item that casts a modified firestorm and is really not much different from a pledge of hands or dreamfeather or doon cuebiyari in the way that it affects a character build.

" Yes and no. CoC won't let you actually cast a spell based on a situation. You completely emphasize on creating as many proccs as possible to get the most out of the spell. What I'm talking about is being able to cast the spell/skill directly. |

" How does that work if the sockets are not linked? Do you get 3 instances of Level 20 Bear Trap skill with one different support on each instance? |
|
Yes you get separate instances.

" Thank you! |
|
" I was thinking along the same lines. There may be a sweet spot between 6 instances, and 1 fully linked instance that does more damage or provides more benefit than the other combinations. |

I think it looks like a cool item and I think the idea of oskills should work well. Since in Diablo 2 characters were limited to skills based on class it made it special that you could get out-of-class skills through some uniques...But since all character classes have access to the same universal skill gems in POE I think the logical step to make it special and more interesting is to have skills that don't exist as gems. Theoretically it sounds like a good step to me, as long as it isn't overpowered. At worst I think it could just be a single item that enables one new build. I think it's more likely that it will be a single item with a single skill that will open up many skill tree/equipment combinations, and add different usefulness to items with intelligence, and to certain support gems. As long as it doesn't overshadow existing skills/builds in power, I don't see that it detracts from the game at all, only adds to it, even if some may consider it a small or singular contribution.
Also I don't particularly like the idea of making icestorm a skill gem because it's essentially just the same skill as firestorm, different element, and makes items like 3 dragons more meaningless,(although I might make a 3 dragons/whispering ice character just to be silly:) ) and as is stays with the elemental asymetry that POE has. And I can see how some people might think this item itself is diverging too much from past design principles, but I think it seems more interesting and fun that the idea of all skill gems having 3 different elemental versions. "This is something that I think would be good to do and not overcomplicated, or too much UI space. As is the only way a new player would know would be to look it up online, and they don't really have a reason to. One might easily assume that it applied to anything. As far as general information conveyed to the player, I would love it if there was some command like "/iteminfo" that you could put in while holding an item that would open a massive page of info telling all about items/skills, such as a list of all support gems that work with a skill and how they work with the skill, etc. I'm looking forward to the expansion, and thanks for the sharing of information for shared discussion and perspective. http://www.therainforestsite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=4
