Which is good, it would probably melt machines otherwise.įive seconds is the standard window for maintaining a kill streak, but you can also see how the various effects can make it even more challenging to keep the buff going, as the effects in turn might kill monsters before you’re able to find a new pack to start hitting. The chaining effect of the new Fist of the Heavens bonus for Crusader being introduced in this patch ought to play well with this buff, just as a heads-up.Īdditionally, Blizzard’s patch notes go on to state that in group play, the kill counter tracks the group, so you won’t get multiple effects from multiple players with ongoing streaks. Any damage you generate that counts as a hit against an enemy should keep the streak going, so even passive damage options like Monk’s Sweeping Wind or Witch Doctor/Necromancer pet damage should work for maintaining this. However, it looks like it will add some interesting play options. The PTR isn’t live yet, so we haven’t gotten a chance to see this in action.
