Assassin Skills Discussion

The intent is to keep those attacks from affecting targets more than once in a very short period of time.  For instance Nova consists of a spray of submissiles, all of which carry the Nova damage.  Without NextDelay, Nova would do a lot more damage at close range and to large targets if skill was otherwise unchanged.  A better example yet might be Multishot--imagine how the skill would have to be adjusted if it were possible to pump 24+ arrows into a target at close range.

I think you're right though that it does seem like an untidy way to deal with things.  But my programming experience ended with Basic, Pascal...and Logo ( :huh: )...so what do I know?  :rolleyes:

That bloody Viper damage in Hell Nilithak needs to be Next Delayed, if you ask me. Either that, or the physical damage needs to be decoupled from the frame by frame damage application of Poison.
