Prediction/Revelation on new unique items on Next patchs
" Charan has previously indicated that he does not and will not know the recipe from the devs. He'll be in the exact same position as we are. | |

Hey Charan,
Spoiler
given you're going for the fire angle here, doesn't allowing Hatred and such to work with this sword kinda not fit too well? Should it have "you can only deal fire damage with this weapon" instead? It would allow you to cast Ice spells and shit, but it doesn't seem like something many would bother with when that's the sword you're carrying. Or you could add "wearer may only deal fire damage" as an additional mod or something but you said before you want to cap it at 9 mods so idk.
Spoiler
...I might also be halfway to turning your Sword into a pseudo-caster weapon if that change was made. Assuming minions can still deal damage as they are not you, so you could go Goddess Scorned + Hatred + Zombies + Elemental Equilibrium and stack cold damage stuff on your zombies.

A blank slate unique that needs it's stats rolled before use.Even the base type of item needs rolling.It's base stats are always of 20% quality.
All mods rolled on unique are random as usual but always roll max stats. Possibly a hell of a unique,possibly the biggest pile of reflect,light radius crap seen to man and for a build you would never play. =P Last edited by Temper#7820 on Jul 30, 2013, 3:37:19 AM

" I wonder if it were possible to create some kind of 'Unique Virus'. Every item that drops has a really really small chance (we are talking mirrow chance here) to drop as a unique and this unique would have always 0% quality and roll max stats, but can only have 5 Mods. “Demons run when a good man goes to war"

" 100% faster burning is actually a very considerable DPS boost. |

Don't like that new sword.
I am a self-confessed Altaholic, but this things seems way too niche. The only way I see it being used is if it does work with Searing Bond. The fact that it uses both hands breaks it completely. I haven't gone through the numbers, but I am positive that a well rolled rare 2H weapon would achieve higher damage even without the unique-mods. However it might be a decent leveling weapon. But who needs those anyway? |

Looking forward to finding that weapon and using it. Charan, you never disappoint.

" Just loaded up PoE to check, Added damage occurs before Converted damage. I had ~200 damage added as cold with Hatred for my default attack, ~250 to a level 1 Infernal Blow (125% damage effectiveness). So Hatred would still add cold damage even with 100% phys conversion. And yeah, flat elemental works anyway.
Spoiler
Yeah, it's a shame Hatred still works, being able to proc EE with Cleave then have Zombies get the bonus damage from the -50% cold resist would work well.

" Nothing to be sorry about man. It frees me to pursue a different angle and hopefully further add to the options available to all :) |
