Forbidden Rite and Totems

Change the way Totems mitigate damage so that they have much less total health, but take significantly less damage from enemy hits and damage over time, more than compensating for the health loss in normal situations. Adjust some sources of Totem Life and Totem Chaos Resistance. Rebalance Dark Pact to partially offset the changes to Totem Life when used on Totems while buffing the skill for casting yourself. Also rebalanced the unique Torchoak's Step to account for the life reduction on Totems.

• Character Totem Life has been reduced by approximately 60%. Totems now take 80% less Damage from enemies, but deal 400% more Damage to themselves (meaning they now take full Damage from themselves).
• The Soul Mantle Unique Body Armour now grants 20-30% increased Totem Life (previously 50%). Existing items can be updated to these new (worse) values with a Divine Orb.
• The Torchoak Step Unique Boots now grants 20-30% increased Totem Life (previously 30-50%). It also now has “Totems Reflect 100% of their Maximum Life as Fire Damage to nearby Enemies when Hit” (previously 25%). Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb.
• The Ancestral Might Cluster Jewel Notable no longer grants 20% increased Totem Damage. Instead, it now grants 15% increased Totem Life.
• The Ancestral Preservation Cluster Jewel Notable no longer grants 30% increased Totem Life. Instead, it now grants “Totems gain +20% to all Elemental Resistances”, as well as “Totems have 15% additional Physical Damage Reduction” (previously 10%), and “Totems gain +25% to Chaos Resistance” (previously 40%).
• Dark Pact now sacrifices 8% of Skeleton’s Life to deal that much Chaos Damage (previously 6%). Now has “40% more Damage with Hits and Ailments if using your Life” at gem level 1 (previously 0%), up to 97% at gem level 20 (previously 76%).

Forbidden Rite is a powerful new spell that fires an exploding chaos projectile at a targeted area. It also targets a selection of enemies in an area around the player’s location and fires projectiles at them too. But be careful, Forbidden Rite also inflicts damage on you when cast. If you can find a clever way to mitigate this harmful downside, you’ll have devastating and widespread damage at your fingertips.

Level Effect

Forbidden Rite is a chaos spell that fires a projectile near your cursor, as well as additional projectiles for each enemy within range. Casting this spell deals a Chaos Damage hit to you based on a percentage of your maximum life and energy shield. This includes when the spell is triggered.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Taking Damage: Whenever the spell is used, including via Cast when Damage Taken Support or Cast On Critical Strike Support, this spell will cause you to take a hit of Chaos Damage equal to 40% of Maximum Life and 25% of Maximum Energy Shield added together. This damage is considered secondary damage and will trigger on-hit effects and Cast when Damage Taken Support, unlike Dark Pact. This does not count as a cost. You will take a hit for each repeat of the skill when used with Spell Echo Support or Unleash Support. This damage cannot be blocked, dodged, evaded or reduced by spell supression.

Life Scaling: Forbidden Rite deals additional damage based on the Maximum Life and Energy Shield of the user of the skill. Temporary buffs to Life or Energy Shield such as Massive Shrines or buffs from Headhunter will also boost the damage. When used with Spell Totem Support, the damage will scale off Totem Life instead.

Projectiles: By default, Forbidden Rite fires a projectile near your cursor, as well as additional projectiles for each enemy within range. This means that on single target, two projectiles will hit the enemy. Sources of additional projectiles will only add projectiles to the initial cursor-targeted projectile, and not the extra projectiles fired towards nearby enemies. The projectiles appear to have an expanding ring-based hit distribution, and it is recommended not to get more than +4 additional projectiles from various sources due to the tendency for projectiles to miss on smaller single targets. The projectiles appear to have a homing behaviour and will bend towards targeted enemies. The projectile is ground targeted and does not benefit from Chain, Fork, Split, Pierce or any projectile behaviour modifiers. However, Projectile Speed will greatly reduce the time between casting the skill and the impact of the projectile, enhancing the skill performance against moving enemies.

Totems: The totem playstyle is currently very popular with Forbidden Rite because it has several mechanics that bypass or mitigate the downsides while being able to efficiently scale the spell. For example, the unique Soul Mantle acts as an effective 7-link, and scales Totem Life very well in addition to Torchoak Step, with much higher achievable Life values than self-cast. Rain of Splinters adds 2 projectiles for lower opportunity cost than Volley Support. Because the self-damage applies to the totem rather than you, you can also scale Totem Chaos Resistance with the Ancestral Preservation node on Totem Damage Medium Cluster Jewels.
