That a unique like this goes live is just bad.

alpha is exactly like beta, only that very few people play it
we have no excess to items and had only one week to find it

Pretty sure this is a new rare...didn't see it on any sites yet.

wow. This chest is awesome. RF + Pain Attunement + Blood magic aura-stacking Templar coming up, anyone?

with that chest u can run 7-8 auras (are there even 8 auraus in poe)?

some work for you, you have to remake your rf guide :P

you can run 7 fairly easily without the chest or kaom's.

I run 7 right now including purity, determination, and haste just using rares.

haha now please delete CI because its now completely worthless. CI = UNUSABLE now

On top of that, unless an alpha member is also a diamond supporter and made it, we have no way of knowing unless someone gets incredibly lucky to have it drop for them.

When you guys find uniques we are seeing them for the first time as well. My knowledge of future uniques is vague rumors. Also involves me begging diamond support friends to make an ID gem.

Am I the only one that looks at Shavronne's Wrappings and thinks (aside from all the obvious good stuff) "Wow, I want to build a Tempest Shield + Punishment + Molten Shell + Spiked Shield + Stone of Lazhwar reflection build"?

It's not that OP. It limits you to a 500-600 body with 1 resist when you can get a rare with 700+ that has trip resist. You still need Chaos resist too, because with RF burning and getting hit by Chaos, you will melt.

The lightning damage is lost on spell casters anyway, so that's not a huge deal.

People were running RF anyways, so using that as a bases for an argument is dumb. And this will be mostly used for RF builds yes, but that's also a risk that you need to take. 900 ES Chest = 2200+ when you take the nodes, this will be around 1200-1300 ES. That also lowers the regen rate by a ton too.

Chest isn't as OP as people think.

I like how everyone is saying how OP it is and how everyone will be wearing one. I'd like to point out if that was the case why doesn't everyone run around with lionseye or kaoms now? Because it's rare and super freaking expensive maybe? Just because it's awesome and really good doesn't mean everyone will have one. Pretty sure this will cost crap ton. I can see it going for 25+ exa.

This. What makes you assume that Alpha testers get uniques handed to them? We're lucky to have a patch a day before it goes live let alone have uniques to test.

It's a unique and CI is still very useful. I would imagine they lower the possibility of getting this unique though much like you have an extremely low chance of getting wakes, dream fragments, kaoms, prism guardian, etc.

Besides that, you need chaos resist to use that really well. There are 6L 900ES chests out there (hi Dominion), and with CI you're completely immune to the chaos so... yeah.

I didn't need Shavronne's to have that motivation :P it's fun watching enemies kill themselves.
