Vaal Double Strike

For the non-Vaal counterpart, see Double Strike.

Vaal Double Strike is a vaal melee skill that performs two fast attacks and summons a double of the player to attack monsters for a duration.

The Vaal Double Strike skill acts as a totem that uses the Vaal Double Strike attack skill on your skillbar. It is not a minion, and will not benefit from any effects regarding minions. As a moving totem it gains the benefit of from aura's while outside of their range, and any potions you drink or are in effect when you summon the Vaal Double Strike clone. The Clone is immune to all forms of damage, so can be supported fully offensively. The clone creates a visual snapshot of your character upon usage of the skill, which includes things like charges, or monster auras stolen by Headhunter or Inspired Learning, they will not have any effect on the clone however.

Version History

Version	Changes
1.1.0d	Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
1.1.0	Introduced to the game.
