Someone tested this with 4 set tal rasha bonus and did not see any meteors except cold ones (he was using cold spells), so I'm gonna say no. No more reason to use black weapons.

Um, Blizzard removed the lvl 70 mlw from the loot tables, so yeah...

RoF has a smaller AOE effect, and the beam tries to snap to targets. That's why it's not going to be as good as disintegrate. Fun to play with, but ultimately pales.

I went AT. The downside of AT is the initial lag before the missiles come out. It feels really odd sometimes. Disintegrate is fun but I played D3V with that for the longest time, wanted to try something else.

Any of you guys went hydra? With the pet buff, hydra's are pretty good now.

I had a Shard of Hate drop for my Crusader friend. It rolled an Int, so he gave it to me. Much love.

It's absolutely a game changing weapon. Went Arc Lightning + Wave of Force for extra lightning dmg on mobs. Did a Ghom test on tor 2 (3 player game). Killed Ghom in 15 secs. The weapon is broken.

Class sets can't be transmorged. So no wizard running around in immortal king.

It does way too much damage. 100% procs when you cast spells, no internal cooldown. If I could pump my IAS higher, it'd be even more broken, but I didn't value IAS on my normal set of gear. The lightning streaming off me can crit for 6 to 10 mil, and that's a constant, resource free dmg.

It's a bit different from TF tho. With TF, I can sit back at a distance and spam AT. The proc is very defensive in nature, since it will slow. SoH requires me to face tank mobs. I can do that right up to Tor4, but I think in Tor5 and 6 I will die long before I get the kill. Where SoH shines is with WW barbs. There was a joke going around:

What's the difference between a barb with SoH and one without?
About 3 torment levels.

I totally see this getting nerfed. That's why I'm not rolling my gear to a more lightning based build.

Or run Black Hole. Always fun to suck up elites, walls, and every damn thing on the map.

Yes. Event Horizon sucks up walls. Also corpse explosions - although the graphic remains on screen it won't blow up. Apparently works on ice too.
