I do not think you understand your own game anymore.

1) the power creep is disgusting already. You give us more. Do you know that expansions can be about 'different' instead of 'better'? Really, it can be done! I'd suggest you try that - game is pretty much D3 with a different icon right now

2) these items will not make rares great. These items will allow us to wear even more uniques! Boots with 40% resistances == potentially one less rare slot needed to cap resists == one more unique slot. Great job. Our homogenized builds really needed this change! Some builds you do not even need to look at the gear description to know exactly is being used.

3) do you play your own game? 70+ BASE ES on a belt? REALLY? ES already dominates the end-game due to spike damage + vaal pact + insane regen (new amulet base says 'hi!'). This item is difficult to defend.

4) do you play your own game? the 'something projectile' on GLOVES? Noone will ever use this base. Gloves == facebreakers and maligaro's. Your own decisions led to that and adding something irrelevant to glove bases wont make the hordes return from bow crit path. Same with spell gloves. Who needs miniscule spell damage %increase when the price is loosing crit multi? But you knew better when you decided to keep the crit multi without cap thus making it the strongest scaling factor for both spells and crit bows. Nice effort. I cannot imagine anyone taking this item instead of unique + good enchant.

I see two reasons for that: you either have no clue (due to misscommunication in your team or due to individual bias leading to buffing A and ignoring B ) or you are buffing already powerful stuff to reward players (bribe them) to play more. Both situations are pretty terrible in the long run.

marble amulet OP.

CindyCorselle: Holy shit wow you really are new. Compare the numbers. At higher levels, the coral amulet is totally useless. Let's say you have 5k life (low for a character with a focus on life regen). 1% life regen is 50 life per second. The coral amulet caps out at 4 life per second. With a righteous fire build that generally wants over 9k life, 1.2% regen is at least 108 life per second, which is 27x a max roll coral.

GGG just took a huge dump into the face of all the people who crafted items in this game.

Geeeet over yourself :D As harder content gets introduced, it's obvious that higher-end items need to exist. It's not like old mirrored gear suddenly becomes bad, it just becomes slightly less mind-bendingly optimal.
