Nuclear Raven's unique has been posted on Reddit

Umm abit confused how the drop mechanics work. Does this actually lower the chance of getting a Shavronne since they are the same base item?

Yes. GG. Definitely not rolling.



RIP.

They made it so better Uniques have a lower chance to roll. So this Unique probably makes Shavronne's 2-10x harder to get Drop or Chance.

Chance, maybe. I always thought of unique drop rates to be independent of base item drop rates. If you got a really rare unique, it rolled one of those uniques from the available rare unique pool (limited by zone/item level). Not that when a base item dropped, it has a chance to be unique.

Saying this because of what I quoted.

DAT CLEAVE

From my understanding of the way Unique drops work, it doesn't impact the Shavronne's drop chance. Unless I misunderstood the last bit of news I heard about this stuff, the game currently follows this system: when drops are being calculated, there is a slight chance for a Unique item to drop. If this roll is successful, the Unique item is chosen. Base doesn't come into play here.

It does, however, make Shavronne's harder to get with Orb of Chance.

That sword is 285.64 dps with quality, and I highly doubt those rolls are max. Wow, that sword is insane.

Infernal Mantle - will work on the sword now

Should mean it only lowers the drop rate on Shavronne's because there is another strong unique in the pool of them, not because they're of the same base type.

Doesnt this mean that:

a) Uniques are no longer proportional to base item.
b) Uniques have base drop rate according to which they drop.

For example, if Shavronne has 0.01% drop rate it doesnt matter if another unique with same base item has been created.

Seems that Shavronne did not just get harder to get.

Could very possibly mean this. I just assumed that uniques had a tier list.


Regardless, I extremely doubt they'd make an item harder to obtain by releasing another item of the base type.

That one would have 286 DPS (with 20% quality). But chaos damage can't be boosted by passives. If possible rolls are noticable higher, that sword can become something good. Otherwise not.

How about if you link Cleave with quality Added Chaos?
