1) It’s a single gem variation. Meaning it should be relatively easy to get it and get it very early. Big plus.

2) No longer heals. This sucks. But on paper it was only giving about 2% life regen to minions. It’s a lot, but nothing critical. Player healing loss is more noticeable, but we now have leech, so who cares.

3) Maximum 3 holy relics. That’s 33% more damage

4) 20% cooldown recovery (comes with quality I assume) – Already huge QoL change, but that also means that Ashes is back as BiS putting us to 53% cooldown recovery rate with massive DPS boost of another 30-40%

5) Another quality of life – Holy nova now casted on the enemy instead of on the holy relic. This effect comes with Astral Projection ring and is very powerful on totems. For out build – not so much, but I guess it will feel a LOT smoother to flicker, shield chare. Or even use traps or bow if you feel spicy.

I dont know if you have seen it, but they changed the wording of the base gem

"

Old: Summon a Holy Relic that stays near you. When you hit an enemy with an attack, the Holy Relic triggers a nova spell, with a very short cooldown

New: Summon a Holy Relic that stays near you. When you hit an enemy with an attack, the Holy Relic triggers a nova spell with a short cooldown

By the wording, i guess they have removed some base Cooldown recovery on the base gem and added some CDR on the Tgem to compensate. So it wont be a straight 20% gain.
(its my thoughts).

The idea sounds fun. I watched your gameplay from 3.21, is the 3.24 version going to be a lot more zoomy like flickerstrike? I was expecting you to just flicker through everything xd

And that's why its important to watch the vids or even try and simulate th build in standart before playing

This is not your typical flicker where you can flick over the map in one flick. Its has slow attack speed, it only sustains changers if you flick into a fat pack and generaly works more like frost blink/shield charge but with better QoL

I do flicker all the time in the videos and you might not even notice it. You can give a closer look at the skill bar to see when flicker goes on cooldown.

For 'haha-funny' flickering effect you might see in videos - Vaal Flicker is used. It has short cooldown and fills up pretty fast from all the AOE kills.

I guess this video showcases Vaal flickering on league start gear the best

I think they would have mentioned that sort of change in the patch notes. I believe this is just a wording change with no impact on mechanics.

@Fire_Archer the transfigured gem should allow the use of ranged attacks since the nova is centered on the enemy, not the relic. What are your thoughts on a build that uses a bow for example?

My thought is that there are just too many new amazing options to play relics.

I will have to figure them all out! But its just too much and first thins first its better to use what works. And I know this works, or at least worked. The rest... will figure after.

But generaly, while range is interesting, it will lock you down in one place.

Aright a quick day 0 recap

Things going smooth, even though I made a big stupid.

PSA to everyone - don't take leech ascendacy node if your relics don't even do 1 mill DPS combined. Its an end game point that is usless early game. Stick to the build - get block from offering for comfy times.

I did. I regret it. Running with just 50% block is spooky. But Im gonna soon have a word with Izaro about that one.

New gem perform exactly as expcted in terms of damage. Great boost for early game and its very cheap.

Nova targeting nearby enemies is... dissapointing though. On a melee build it makes almost no difference (in fact it makes it slightly worse) because enemies will be exploding in your face regardless of the relic.

So its only really usaful for trying out ranged relics I guess.

For some reason Energized Armor went up for a divine. A bit sad, its a very comfy jewel to have, but what can you do. Obviously don't buy it. Its noth worth more than 10 c.

In fact - you can try vaaling it yourself.

Didn't get any big drops, just 1c-2c items now and then.

Pushed to red maps but a bit undergeared - gonna start making upgrades soon.

Hope your leaguestart went fine too.

we back babey

Don't really have time to make an update, so here is updated pob with new relic gem, slightly more realistic towards early game market

And PoB warrior part inflated a bit more to reach 130 mill DPS. Surely you will get there one day :>

Quick run down on my personal progress - got first 2 void stones. Set up atlas for deli orb farm and expedition big boom. Got really lucky and roped couple of divines. Instant upgrades. Feeling relatively well now.

Hey, I was wondering why you're using three curses when you don't have anything to increase the limit?
Thanks!
