Arcanist class skill perk

[Azrael]

Hey all. I just finished watching the little gameplay clip from KS update #10, showing off some of the Arcanist gameplay (amazing stuff!)

I think it'd be pretty interesting if that beam ability could destroy (some?) enemy projectiles that it comes into contact with. Specifically, if you skip to 3:20 in the video, where the Arcanist is fighting that large-eye caster enemy. I feel like it'd be good for the beam to destroy those lightning bolts it passes through.

Heh, just a little idea I wanted to post! :)

Congratulations on reaching your goal!

Just watch the Occultist (not Arcanist) video carefully. there is example. Yes, you can shoot down enemies projectiles and so they can. :p

Btw, anyone notice you can shoot enemy projectiles out of the air? ; )
It works for most projectiles, actually, I can't think of any it doesn't work for currently. It can be tricky with the lobbed ones where they have an arc but you can still do it quite frequently once you get the timing right. It is feels very cool and satisfying but, at the same time, enemies can do the same thing to you.

I use the chaos bolts skill a lot in the video because the number of little projectiles helps to clear out any enemy projectiles coming at you while still delivering a few surviving bolts to damage the enemy.
This is actually a general combat feature :D

Shooting down the projectiles is awesome, never seen that anywhere if my mind remembers..just great! =)

yeah cool stuff! although i'm quite curious to know how it is handled in terms of annulling each other, ot the most powerful one kills the other...
