ZiggyD's Community Unique Design - Names and Flavour Text

Name: Malachai's hammer belt
Text: If it does not work, take a larger hammer.




^^^
I had to ;X
(...didn't read all the previous pages) Here's my suggestion:

The Veteran's Edge

"Go, study your foe
don't let him strike you
be ready for when he will
and close in for the kill"
-Vagan, weaponmaster
"Metas rotate all the time, eventually the developers will buff melee"
PoE 2013-2018
The Peoples Champion Vanguard Belt

"From among the masses stood only one in the end.
Stronger than steel. Faster than sight."

I wanted to highlight that "The masses" of poe created the belt with the name and the first line.
Afterwards I wanted to focus on the "Armor/Evasion" bit with the last part of the flavor text while keeping the flavour text short and simple.


Another idea:

Wrath and Fury Vanguard Belt

I will tame my fury
and strike as hard as thunder
I will sooth my wrath
and move uncatchable like wind

-An exiles oath

Name:
Sattir's Will

Flavor Text:
The two saw, what couldn't be seen
Through the eye, of the immortal king
Standing in honor, over the dead army
Standing with, his lovers will
-King Edmeir
A few different suggestions depending on which lore the belt best fits:


Victario's Audacity
As he looked into the terrible eyes of the mob's onslaught that night,
Victario suddenly knew where the virtue gems derived their power
A thousand inspired cowards had become a thousand tyrants
The future had been torn to ribbons; this nightmare would never end


Dialla's Denouement
You've fallen my little cockroach
and now you won't get up.


Daresso's Bravado
I won't make a fuss over killing you
if you won't make a fuss over dying.


Kaom's promise,
Hold still,
I'll make this quick.


Karui Larder
Fear not,
your bones shall not go to waste
but shall fortify my stew


Marylene's Equivocation
Look stunning,
and your first impression
will be your opponent's last impression


Gravicius' Carpe Momentum
Those who look surprised
are seeing the other side before they fall

The Gladiator's Prize

"A warrior must always know
whether to dodge a blow or take it.
Even in the battle's flow
his defense must be perfect."
Name ideas:-

Girdle of the Colloseum God (Colloseum is an arena kind of map, and Daresso is the boss there)

Belt of the Undisputed Champion (Well yeah.....)

Unrelenting Momentum (Fortify makes you feel like an entrenched fortress.Onslaught makes you feel like an unstoppable frenzied maniac. Combine both of them, and you get a human freight train.)

Flavour Text:-

"The famed combatant Fammal, the previous sword king

Though he was Daresso's better, he fell to his swing

For even his surest blows couldn't find their mark

And those that did, felt like twigs against a bark"


Note:- Originally the last line had "little more than" instead of "like".However, i think it adds unnecessary length.Also, using "like" here is much more clear.

When i first checked out path of exile in 2013, i was blown away by the skills page and the flavour text for the skills.I am a sucker for skills and lore, and the skills page reminded me of the arreat summit diablo skills page.

There, in the Double Strike and Dual strike descriptions you can see info about the famed arena combatant Fammal.

However, since Daresso is the sword king, and there is no mention of Fammal, we can assume he went out of prominence before daresso's time period OR daresso defeated him.

Also, Daresso mentions in one of his plaques about "The Previous Sword King" who was stronger and faster and better than Daresso, but still lost.

So i thought, hey, why not make that previous guy Fammal??

Also, the last 2 lines of the belt imply that powerful fantasy of stacking huge evasion and armor.Most of enemies's blows will miss, and the ones that do get through will be mitigated.Also Daresso had chugged boatloads of granite and jade flasks before the fight :D
The King's Bulwark, Vanguard Belt.
"Fight and confront if no one else could.
Be A one man army you should.
Strengthen your armour, Hasten your evasion.
Eviscerate whoever wrongs your nation."

that was fun to come up with
Entry 1:
Dancer's Wrap (or wrappings)
Dancer's Silks

Flow like the meadow winds, strike like a surging sea.

The idea is taken from defensive martial arts; a length of loose cloth can wrap a blade and render it useless to harm you, but you have to move both quickly and gently to enfold the weapon as your opponent strikes. Lots of gracefully trailing ribbons can mask your movement as the eyes forget to follow you and focus instead on the ribbons behind you. Just look at This Video for example.



Entry 2:
Charge of the Vanguard

Spear and sword slam against shield, as opposing armies take to the field.
Horses snort, soldiers rage, and generals call.
The vanguard line up to take the charge, shouting-
"Death and glory to them all!"
Raulo's/Fidelitas' Chastised Memory || Maligaro's Remorse/Rue


My work unparalleled, yet it comes to this
The emperor peers down into the abyss,
The Purity Rebelion takes away my purpose
Hoping to hide it all within a carcass.
For if I lose you, look down to your belt
Remember the feeling which we have always felt.
