Unique Item List - 300 of 419

Some of more pessimistic people here raise a good point - why bother with making new unique work gloriously... If it WILL BE nerfed to the ground without compensation?

Such question is alogical, but entarely in human nature - players overlook good chnges with easy, and remember bad ones for a long time... -_-

Besides, we seen examples of that with Soultaker or CwDT.

Aaand back on topick! :)

Some really sweet and interesting items in this patch - even without going overboard with theorycrafting its easy to see some good use for them. RolePlay Templar with Staff and Glacial Hammer for example.
Now all we need is to solve the White Monkey, pardon, Socket problem :p
Well, I'm really happy about unique items like this since I really enjoy theory-crafting (use more time on it than on actually playing the game), and I have no interest in any form of balance.
But GGG say they do and that concerns me, if they care about balance why do they release unique and skills that are unbalanced from the start? They either use the players as guinea pigs or don't put enough effort in testing them before release. Both options worry me.
Hmmm... Actually old Power Siphon Witch (From Season One Build Of The Week) will gladly have her sweet time with Crown of Eyes! Its like this item were made for such build. So tempting - pity i cant make myself to actually get in the endgame :)

By the way - Next episode of Build of The Week is about overpowered end-game farmer... "We shall see" (c)

P.S. Whats the deal with people instatly jumping on RF with Crown? Is it really worth the hassle? O_o

Again, RF isn't affected by Reduced Duration. It's not a duration based skill. The only ways to turn it off are:
-Leave the instance
-Use a Dousing flask
-Be <= 1 HP.

RF and Pain Attunement are multiplicative modifiers - This is indicated by the keyword "more." As such, they do not add together.

I'm not aware of anyone with 222.22k DPS, but if you had that much, yes RF and PA would give you quite a hefty bonus...although I think at that point it would be completely negligible since it'd all be overkill anyway. On a more serious note, people aren't typically running around with DPS quite that high.

I cannot possibly begin to imagine trying to use RF with Vaal Pact. Negating all regen means you'll be burning for a very large % of your HP at a time, and even if you could leech enough to make up for that, you'll eventually run out of enemies to leech off of.


Why you repeatedly mention reduced duration. I got your point the first time you mentioned it and I assume you are correct and have tested it.

So you see, the Dousing flask is a very easy way to stop RF. You could use 2 of that flasks. But tbh I don't think it would be valid. If you needed a flask to stop the burning that would imply that you burn for a lot and could die any second. It'd be kinda risky...However the other ideas, stacking decent regen to sustain it for some time OR vaal pact to leech you through the fight + THEN pop a bottle immediately afterwards could work.

200 k dps is very well possible if you go glass cannon. It might not be viable in Nemesis, but eg in Softcore or generally PVP. One-shot dominus would be cool as well :)

With Crowns of Eyes, such kind of items(with both physical and spell damage) will get its love?

p.s. Why not convert Cast Speed to Attack Speed...
Two-handed - Mop
Dual Wield - Slippers
One-handed & Shield (close combat) - Brush & Basin
One-handed & Shield (ranged) - Hair Dryer & Mirror
Main-hand & Off-hand (evil witch) - Sponge & Soap

Yup

My guess is that the QA team is too small to handle the balancing project which is PoE.
At least that is what I have read between the lines in Rory's post.

Also they are kinda urged to push the unique items through the pipe, as there is a really huge backlog of Supporters waiting to get their items implemented, too.

People need to stop calling nerf on everything that comes out high roll rares still beat these items out anyway.


Like the alternate art design of Kaom's Sign. Looks much better compare to the normal one.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.
