“Your spells do no damage” would seem more appropriate. Even add increased mana reserved if they wanna go that route.

That's the thing: That is already on there.

"Your spell skills deal no damage.
Your spells are disabled."

Back when this item came out that made a bit more sense. Hatred was much stronger and while there were some other, better damage options than "100% increased global physical damage" it also came with some good regen and life too, making it probably too competitive.

Now, it prevents a massive amount of content from being experienced for what seems like a negligible trade-off. The 5% regen is very big, don't get me wrong, but it's the only thing that could be called 'OP' on the chest piece. Every other positive stat is 'Ok.'

I like the suggestion about increasing mana reservation costs, too. If you can't put Mortal Conviction on the chest piece, perhaps just jack up reservation costs a lot and keep the 'spell skills deal no damage.' If it still seems too strong with the ability to curse, add in a line about curses ("100% reduced curse effectiveness").

Right - I meant no damage was a sufficient downside. And agree with the rest.
