I wish I could've gone through the process you did, must've felt some serious anxeity today, like a tenth/hundreth of giving birth. I feel I should also point out another part of the design from Davros. The Prismatic base type did not exist when he put forward his idea. It was suggested by him, and we put in the Prismatic Ring base type in, a few months ago as the first part of putting the unique item in. Heya Corpse First time seeing the ring and looks like it worked out really well. Nice job man.

How about using the ring with the chest that allows you to summon one more totem?	Posted by alpoppa#4780 on Apr 19, 2013, 7:30:24 AM Quote this Post

Nice new stuff, but i hope the next Unique will be more usefull for a spell Charakter, the last Uniques have IAS ore / and Phys Dmg not so use full for spells. But i am sure GGG dont forget the witches ;) HARDCORE ONLY ~ ONE LIFE IS ENOUGH Last edited by flucser#0109 on Apr 19, 2013, 9:04:43 AM	Posted by flucser#0109 on Apr 19, 2013, 9:03:51 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Idk, if you increased the amount of Life and Mana per hit, so that it would essentially allow you to actually run a 4-6L without LGoH, then I can see the loss of the second ring slot justified. The current values only strengthen the amount we're already accustomed to running, they do not replace their need (and thus freeing up a support slot) I'm sure someone will find a way to use this ring + a couple other mana on hit items to do a workaround where blood magic nor a bunch of max mana / mana regen nodes are necessary, but at what cost? The loss of some other highly desirable stats on items for sure.

The Soul chest would probably be sickly OP if it was supported by level 20 Spell totem rather than 14. I get that. But there is no way this ring is worth 2 ring slots, in any situation. Either make them extremely OP + a good negative drawback, or just....Make them....and not fuck the character over at the same time. Btw, if the LGoH on this ring is affected by damage effectiveness as well, then it's even more "meh". The drawbacks have two functions. Firstly, they add personality to an item. Like people, these items are double-edged swords. You have to think before just equipping them. I'd rather create a more interesting item than one that every Tom, Dick and Harry would want to wear thoughtlessly. That sort of cheapness and superficiality is not worth $1000 in my eyes. Secondly, they allow for more easy balancing/overpowering. Thief's Torment, for example, is a trap of sorts. You read all those bonuses and only at the end do you get the sucker punch. I can definitely see uses for that ring, but obviously you'd have to build for it. I'm not entirely sure it pulls the weight of two rings, but it definitely has some interesting offerings. I see it quite the opposite. I think contributing $1,000 earns one the privilege of making a slightly OP item with zero drawbacks. Leave the other kind for regular Uniques. Here's an idea, why not give the Diamond Uniques a different item text colour to differentiate them from Vanilla Diamond Uniques? Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent. I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_-	Posted by Chameleon#4418 on Apr 19, 2013, 10:12:18 AM Quote this Post

They aren't meant to be like Uniques or Legendaries in other games. They are meant to be a "unique" niche item, barely good only for builds it'd work for, or were designed to work for. Rare items will ALWAYS be superior to them. They aren't meant to be "op." IGN: Golem_Antsy, Harvest	Posted by Sheriff_K#3938 on Apr 19, 2013, 10:20:13 AM Quote this Post
