i hope ratpith wont cost like 30 divines or something

There "can" be hundreds of builds like that. Doesnt mean they will actually use this shield. It wasnt meta for a reason and that reason is that there are better choices.
Might be more used this league thanks to new Ascendency but thats pretty much it.

do you know what niche means? it means it works for only very few specific builds but life stacking now works for alot of builds with the new gem changes


I see two. RF and new Burning Arrow. Thats "a lot"?


Highly doubt either build will use the shield.

A. Burning Arrow is an Attack and Bow oriented skill.
B. Righteous Fire is more worthwhile stacking ES and ES/Life than pure Life.
C. Spell Damage from shield would only effect Fire Trap.

There is literally no better choice for a life stacking caster than rathpith and it IS meta for those builds.
4,777 people were using it at league end.

Those builds are so niche that most people dont even know they exists. How can one even think of them as "meta'.

At league end 5% of players were using rathpith, in a league where over 30% were bow builds, seems pretty damn meta to me.

Yeah na 90% of them are Hexblast Miners. It was used pretty much by one build (plus some attempts to use it in something else)
Ooof that shield is pretty good for life scaling... so I dont doubt it will go up, but Idont think it will go div levels

Side note, I just realized.... enchanted items in standard will probs cost a whole lot more now.

Some meta builds just got 2500%MORE damage from these changes.
And they are builds already played by 70% of the player base.


Which builds? Asking for a friend.
Supply and demand my friend. If it is in the "meta" and a lot of people feel obligated to run the "meta" builds it will cost a lot.
