Showcasing New War for the Atlas Gems and Items
"?? WOOOOOOT ???? Am I the only one freaking out about this ? It's not that hard to get ~1000dex. That's 500-900 added damage with 1 Affix! 1 SINGLE AFFIX on a rare will give you 700Dmg per attack?? This is Nuts! Isn't this completely and totally broken? These can be crafted, right? A Blue item with that mod + some crit/atk speed seems better than every bow currently in the game. By miles. I suppose I should be happy since I want to play a cold bow ranger but.. This is Waaaaaaaay too much. Am I missing something here? |

So, lets say I play some RF build next league. Meybe even some SR action will be happening.
Do you think that if (in a boss fight) I use Desecrate to create some lvl 100 corpses, and then Bodyswap with some crit chance and ingites, the boss will melt? IGN: VodeniZec

Seems like Elder/Shaper items are new "base" so you could just scour and spam 10k alteration orbs to get Cold dmg per 10 dex and attack speed. Done, bow better than any mirrow bow that exist in the game.

" The showcased item is a standard base. We don't even know the details yet of how one acquires a "shaped" or "elder" item. Run a lich for a chance at an elder item? Fight a defending guardian for a chance at a shaped item? You're making an assumption that these mods are accessible through use of normal currency. I somewhat doubt. But, i dunno. Not willing to stick my neck out on this one until we know the deets. I've been surprised in the past. Let a man walk alone -
Let him commit no sin. Let him bear few wishes, Like an elephant in the forest. |

"As you fight in maps the Shaper or Elder control, you may find rare Shaped and Elder items which can be crafted to have powerful properties that don't normally occur."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Let a man walk alone -

I think that new bow mod is a massive mistake GGG.
I don;t mind powercreep but favouring bows above any other weapon, and above all giving it a single mod that outperforms the best mirrored bows on standard... ouch.. I thought that the elder/shaper items were a way to easily get a 6L running, so we can easier get a single target skill and an aoe skill without weapon swaps and stuff... but i never imagined you would completely bust the game balance like that. I mean ALL my friends ALL say they're playing archer now. ALL OF THEM. well done. how about buffing melee for once? Last edited by cartouche_2#0140 on Dec 7, 2017, 2:56:21 PM

" What makes you think bows are the only thing being favored here? That rare was just an example. Not trying to troll you...honestly asking as maybe I'm missing something. |

120% damage effectiveness, 6% crit chance, 0.6s cast time.............. i'ma main unearth bois

" im assuming itll be used the most on bows and wands, because ranger is the class with access to the most dexterity. if it is not limited to bows it's a bit better than i thought, but only really usefull on dex heavy characters, aka wanders / bow users. more and more we see that melee is garbage and ranged does more damage and is safer.. I mean why even bother playing melee in POE am i right? |
