Option to prevent gas explosion.
tldr: A functionality (probably via a support) that prevents gas arrows that come from the Skeletal Archer or other Skills from blowing up when connecting with ignite or burning ground.
Hey, i've been playing a fairly successful Summoner Infernalist build recently reaching T15 progression, utilizing the Skeletal Reaver Skillgem as my main source of dps. I finally wanted to give this a try because it's possible to effectively strip enemies of their armor via the Corrosion support gem, thus dealing with the biggest counter to any build that involves many many comparatively small physical hits. This worked out better than i expected and i am very happy with this build, however the explosion interaction of the gas arrow is sometimes frustrating, especially playing the Infernalist ascendancy. Anyone trying to play and optimize for the poison part of the gas arrow is going to get shafted by burning ground and any ignite applied and while that is a cool synergy to have in the game, it really shafts people at times when they want to use the poison properly. The infernal hound from the Infernalist ascendancy is especially problematic seeing as it auto ignites everything around it, therefore making the use of Skeletal Archer's Gas Arrow to strip armor almost impossible, even though the Hound fits by design perfectly into a summoner build. This entire issue can easily be solved by adding a new support or, my suggestion here, adding a functionality to the corrosion support (that one that causes poison to destroy armor) that supported gas clouds from skills can no longer be detonated. It would help the game feel tremendously and prevent me and probably others from feeling like you're getting screwed over by an otherwise cool mechanic. Loving it here, been looking forward to this game for a long time and had the highest expectations and did not get disappointed <3 Dernier bump le 30 juil. 2025 à 16:57:32

Yes, please. My first char was a Gas Arrow Poison Chonk and my maps basically bricks with Burning ground or Burning enemies.

Agreed. I proposed a new support gem a while back...

" This already exists. It's the Domain gem. I built an infernalist around simultaneous ignite/poison cloud damage. |
