No "chaos damage does not bypass es" == vendor trash

Come on, it would be vendor trash anyway, even with "chaos damage does not bypass es". 600 strength requirement for ES, intelligence based build? Give me a break. Like, yes, it can be done. But for what reason? Solely to use this thing? Come on. Looks like recently GGG hired several arrogant trolls, and they rampaging now. For instance:

Tombfist nerf, attack speed removed. Legacy version are spoiled by using divine orb. GGG's trolls statemant: do it, we dare you! Funy? Nooo... Just pathetic.

Then:
Pile of useless garbage called "uniques" or some weird quiver, overpowerde in an obvious way, for change. Pathetic again.

And last but not least, instead of fixing some real problems, like map tab bug, they do what? Some cosmetic changes to skill tree near Shadow, changed twice already. The peak of deplorability.

Divinity sounds nice but quite frankly not too impressive if you compare it to Incandescent Heart. Assume a CI build

Comparison assuming a CI build (anyone not playing ES next patch?)

Item: Garb of the Ephemeral // Incandescent Heart
Defense: ES: 331 // ES: 327. Armour: 1,443
Stat Req: Ridiculous // Normal
Damage: 50% more Ele (Divinity) // 20% more Ele to Chaos
Defense: 20% less Ele (Divinity) // 25% less Ele (CI)
Utility: Immune to Curses (Divinity) // 1% Attack Life Leech
Life: 0 // 90 (Irrelevant for CI)

So overall you deal 30% more elemental damage but you take 5% more Elemental and having no attack leech. On top of that there is the insane stat requirements and the non 100% uptime on Divinity. Question is is it "On Hit" or "On Being Hit"?

This is... a remarkably reasonable take, when its laid out its starting to look not nearly as good

To be honest, this item is completely and utterly broken if you can keep this 10 sec buff up permamently. Strength req is not an issue, many ES builds use shaper's touch anyway

It's 20% less ele damage taken but it's not a conversion, so it works on damage over time too (which is amazing), also he forgot about crit immunity which is pretty huge if you ask me
