Lightning Warp + Ball Lightning not working smoothly in 0.4.0

Bumping as well, thought I was going crazy when i wasnt seeing myself warp on bosses. Making LW prio targeting BL projectiles or just reverting the change would make it so much more usable again.

Sadness bump because the 0.4.0b update doesn't appear to address this at all.

My plan in 4.0 was BL + LW, and now they’ve taken that away too. The more I play, the more it feels like the game is pushing a single, one-way playstyle—just spamming Spark.

Why remove or alter things instead of adding more fun options? It doesn’t feel like I’m testing or discovering new builds anymore. Every skill style ends up being limited or shut down by these combo/fusion power-up pickups. It’s just frustrating and unnecessary.


Even GGG themselves are showcasing one-button, screen-clearing playstyles. Then, a few updates later, they turn around and counter those same builds with combo mechanics and restrictions.

It feels inconsistent—promoting simple, powerful setups and then punishing players for using them instead of expanding the game with more fun and viable options.

Since there’s no PvP, I don’t see the reason for adding mechanics that only make gameplay more annoying instead of more fun.

This build was freaking amazing in 0.3, one of the most fun builds I ever played in an ARPG. Very sad to hear that they broke it. But it's in line with their current design goals of removing everything that's fun.

Y'know, I concur. BL+LW 0.3 was the most fun build/gameplay I've enjoyed in an ARPG, hands down.

On Stormweaver, the game didn't feel trivial; I was making decisions constantly and I used every hotkey available to maximize Infusion utility. I spent a ton of time building and rebuilding my tree around the gear I had available.

Even in the late endgame I wound up with a significantly different set of skills/supports than I began with; the core was solid enough that several adjacent strategies could be made to work.

why they didn't just remove this skill.

agreed, made a chrono using the skill and they killed it. same for incinerate, blasted from orbit for some reason, feels unplayable now.

Bump.

actually unplayable :(

cullable mobs -> lightning ball -> uncullable mobs in a certain arc degree in the direction your character is facing should clearly be the priority system.

i hope they have a general priority system for other skills that is easily scaled up to cover this skill too.

Yeah I agree, this change totally bricked my Mjölnir build. GGG should change the target priority of LW or revert this change, there was nothing wrong with Lightning Warp to begin with.

just messaging to say this is making me very sad for the league as most mechanics of lightning warp cant be built around. cant piety jewel. cant self cast.

just delete the skill if this was intended at this point
