New Unique Item: Heartbound Loop

For everyone struggling to find a use to this ring, I think it's aimed at evangelists (bubble + AoE guys ) specters + zombies.

It's possible to keep your minions safe almost all the time, so the physical damage might not be an issue. And the bubble helps.

Still I thinks it's too niche to be useful later into the game. But whatever, when was the last time a useful unique came out? I don't remember.

Scolds Bridle + SRS + Reduced Duration + This ring.

Cast on DMG Taken.

:3

Just a note to the designer - Could have done better.

Regardless, you paid the money, not me, so hope you are happy lol.

In other news, can summoners get something beneficial besides the mandatory shit boots? I love my Montys grasp but other than that...damn.

I love summoners a lot, and their potential btw. I play my Summoner more than my Mjolner dude.


Summoner gear - looks like shit, but comes together well. 5 OP Monty Zombies - <3

Can someone explain how the miniscule benefits outweigh the negatives? Maybe, I don't get it because I strictly play HC leagues, But seems like another vendor junk ring to me? Like the 10+ other "New" unique rings/amys introduced with masters of the forsaken. Bring back something interesting i.e. shav's ring, onslaught on kill ring etc. Anyone else feel like GGG plays it too "safe" now when introducing items into the game? Because god forbid, it could possibly if attained by the top players in the 3 month temp-league w.e. would be.. dare I say.. Actually good/Opie?

Nah the ring is trash. Just lots of the standard trollish replies, the usual.

Btw Please remove, the lame 1 month (here's something to do league, since we are 2 months behind on act 4)... I'm actually enjoying playing HC perm league at the moment... and I finally got my stash organized from 4 leagues worth of remove only tabs.. and was about to go hard, than this gets announced lol... there goes a week of going through 80 or so tabs, and doing 4 tabs of GCP recipe... What do i do with 250 GCP's?

Oh you're enjoying playing the HC perma league? Then keep doing that. The new leagues won't have any influence over you. In fact, you don't even need to acknowledge they exist. So just don't worry about them.

Was considering boycotting them along with my buddy Muir, I don't get the point of the league right now, I thought GGG needed beta testers, all the testers who should be the few allowed to have a say in the decision making process, are going to play the 1 month league, for the 100 epeen race. So all of the (no offence) noobs that can't make it to act 3 merciless yet will be doing the beta testing and telling GGG how to balance the game I guess?

I've had acess to the beta for a while now.. (GM supporter).. Refuse to touch it in its current State, I even have an extra beta key.. Maybe I will save it for when my new web cam comes in and I feel like streaming. Do a little give away.

Can't say I agree with some of the decisions GGG has been making lately.

I don't know, if it was more minion life instead of increased then maybe. But, I just can't justify it. All summoner uniques already have the downside of garbage self stats, but a downside on top of that is a bit much.

It also means we can't use skeletons or animate weapon with it. Not to mention, horrific spell bursts that obliterate our zombie horde now definitely kill us to.

I was hoping for more summoner based unique equips, but this is not it.

The whole trash with the good on uniques concept still seems dumb.

My take on it. Quite easy for summoners to use Arctic Armour, which reduced PD taken and thus counters most of the downside. Minion Life and Minion AOE then synergise nicely with Minion Instability, which if you wanted to you could link with Life Leech to again cover the PD taken. The mana regen and flat life regen both aid in running AA and recovering life lost.

Also with the addition of Golems, they're more persistent minions that use a number of AOE based abilities, this ring will help those minions while suffering few deaths.

Probably other uses for Zombies and Spectres that I'm unfamiliar with and others can comment.

Current state of the game, marginally useful aoe and dmg increase for minion instability... in Softcore ok.

After Patch..

Maybe in SC, however even than, since the EB nerf, It's actually much MUCH harder to run lvl 20/21 or even 23+ AA. You NEED 50% + regen rings / neck. The tiny amount of es / no mana 30% regen, is nowhere near as good as a 60%+ mana regen / 70+ life / dex or str / 45 45 res / with 20% to maximum ES if you decide to build Hybrid.

oh also remember how theres no more inner force? So AA is even weaker, so no more 300 dmg reduction lvl 25 inner forced AA sorry boys n girls.

That's a really shitty thing to say. I think you could have done better on your avatar. Is that dante hip thrusting? Pistols in Wraeclast? Awesome dude.




That ring looks sick.
