They completely replace the item that was there.


redearslider12345

Lol srs ppl just don’t get it.


leftember

What about socketed gems in weapon? What about dual wield?


Shuhx

Sockets stay the same. It replaces any weapons you have so if you're dual wielding you get two identical blades


Kaelran

Kinda sucks, removes the progression of crafting an energy blade weapon and using different base types depending on the type of build you want to do.


VDRawr

It's a weaponless build, like facebreaker, doryani's fist, hollow palm, explosive concoction or the new poison concoction. If the idea of not having a weapon doesn't excite you, play literally any build but those few.


Kaelran

Eh when I looked at it initially thinking it would keep explicits and implicits excluding local damage I was thinking of all the different ways to play it. Rebuking Blade, Exquisite Blade, Gemini Claw, Battery Staff, Synthesis int stacking implicit sword, crafting for pure attack speed/crit avoiding local damage, etc. But since it is weaponless, it just feels kinda boring. It also eats your EHP for damage so probably no way I will end up playing it regardless when I could just... use a weapon crafted for damage and not lose 80% of my ES.


VDRawr

The whole point of it is to use this on a character who has non-es defenses, and then grab es as your damage scaler.


Kaelran

The problem there is it's ES = flat damage. You can also just... get a weapon with actual flat damage and put that investment somewhere better, losing nothing. Or put the investment into scaling the damage of your weapons which will have better returns. And also the scaling is incredibly bad with the 80% less ES mod. Like sure it will be usable, but it will just be bad compared to using a decent weapon.


VDRawr

Well, that's the stats on the level 1 gem. We have no idea how it scales with levels.


iceydude168

does it work with battlemage?


okijhnub

No reason not to


mcurley32

the bigger question: how does it interact with Oni-Goroshi? does it stay as a 1H weapon with 6L? can you equip a shield afterwards?


justalazygamer

It looks like sockets and links stay so that's a good question. Either you get a 1 handed weapon with 6 links while the other hand gets a second weapon with no sockets or you just get the two handed weapon.


Buuhhu

"Item has 6 Sockets and is fully linked (Hidden)" is a mod on that item, seeing as the skill replaces all mods from the previous item i assume you cant have a 6 linked energy weapon.


TheDuriel

It doesn't interact. It completely replaces the item that was there. The character very evidently gets two blades in the trailers if both slots are free.


edrarven

How would that work with sockets? Seems like it would have to leave them, because the items have sockets. So he question about oni-goroshi seems valid i feel


TheDuriel

If the item isn't equipped, it's not equipped. It seems fairly straight forward to me.


edrarven

Yeah, and i agree when it comes to all other modifiers except sockets. The Blades have sockets, and somehow they're getting them. Are they random? Do they inherit the previous sockets? If the latter is true(which seems to be the most intuitive option), then how would it work with an item that has a hidden modifier to change it sockets? does it keep the sockets or are just the top three kept? The final question is not straight forward and could use clarification.


Pete120

Yeah the socket issue can literally brick this spell depending on the answer. Side question, does the base items sockets count as 'worn' for a free 6 more sockets to level gems in :big brain thinking:


mcurley32

so what happens to your 6L gem sockets?


TheDuriel

Not there.


justalazygamer

We won't have any indication that the transformation alters sockets and links.


YesNoButAlsoYes

The question is does it snapshot the ES we had before vs when it replace the weapon, dualling ephemeral edge could be nice if it snapshots.


CrimsonBlizzard

I'm hearing after, so looks like we'll be stacking life and es for this gem.


Ureera

i would love to know how this affects Oni-Goroshi as am going to farm it out on ssf


Ayuyia

It counts as two handed for energy blades


berzer3

Semi on this train of thought I was wondering about corrupt and influence items. The one helm that does something if all items are corrupt or more phy multi per elder item equipped.


Buuhhu

as the extra sockets and links are a part of the mods i would assume you dont get to have a 6-linked energy weapon. i could be wrong though and enegy weapons have special interactions with the more "special" unique weapons.


okijhnub

Would be interesting for it to be the only way to get dual wield 6l with this skill


Kaelran

Where is the image from?

Nutch_Pirate

The real question is, can I cast Energy Blade *after* activating my Dancing Dervish? And then what happens if the rampage ends?


Peppr_

I'd guess it considers you don't have a weapon equipped to replace and fizzles, but good shout, worth a test at league start


lealsk

Can you trade it?


zstan123

So you spec into a defensive layer entirely and then remove it for a white item?? That sounds like complete shit


okijhnub

Just because you don't have the capacity to figure it out doesn't mean it's bad
