seriously one... ONE! item named after an ancient god and you start screaming?

I do like the naming, see it as an easter egg instead.

Actually, a number of uniques already have names or theme from popular fiction, mythology or real world sayings.

Belly of the Beast - assumed to be biblical reference
Bronn's Lithe - song of ice and fire
Tabula Rasa - a saying
Chernobog's Pillar - a slavic god
Doon Cuebiyari - 'dark heart' in old tongue from the wheel of time series
Terminus Est - from the book of new sun series (read it if you haven't, great stuff)
Pillar of the Caged God - inspired by the 8-ton staff of Sun Wukong
Moonsorrow - supposedly inspired by a character from my little pony
Bino's Kitchen Knife - named after a supporter's friend that's woefully inept at cooking

possibly others

Guess that is the price to pay for partially funding the game via supporter uniques.
Even though most of these uniques are very nicely designed they still feel as alien lore-wise to the game as the Library of Alexandria or King Suleiman do to M:TG.

...So... Uh. Is Mjolner an Aztiri Drop-only?

Doubt it. Doesn't seem themed in the same fashion as the other Atziri only items nor is the item level appropriate as well.

I don't mean to be rude, but these uniques are very questionable... They are kinda bad.

They all look pretty good to me. Anyone spill the beans on the new quiver recipe yet? Let me see.. sharktooth claw is a lvl 7ish claw. Add a quiver and orb?

Should help in races.

alas, he is not cultured enough to know that the other unqiues are also inspired from different mythologies, or just named after some users (saffels frame, le heup, taryns shiver, zahndethus, blood reaper, porjoys asylum etc)

so just because i don't write up a list of all the bullshitnames i am not cultured enough. :_) me so hurt...

dont forget Bringer Of Rain design and lore based on Spartacus series which makes it by far the best unique in the game theme-wise (together with pillar of the caged god).


On topic : well done to the designers once again for those uniques (though queen of the forest is kind of rare 3res hp EV chest), loved hyrri's bite - could prove very usefull for lvl and racing, mjolner is extremely powerful but with a huge stats requirement drawback which kind of balances it, and incandescent heart is a little bit weird and trollish (dat +71armour), i guess the drawback is the low es and the life it provides, since the only way to mitigate more ele dmg than you would have done with your ele resists with it -which is the highlight of the chestpiece- is to go CI. (i still believe that flat armour mod was meant to be ES and it got fucked up during implementation)

No it's not. I found it yesterday in a Cemetary Map.

so here is my theorycraft for mjolner:

get max att speed, dual wield them aswell
dream tree

explanation:
- att speed for most often casts
- both mjolners should have arc + arc + iron will, u have nice strenght total so its huge damage boost
- dont need crit but often hitting - go spectral throw with GMP/LMP + faster attacks+faster projectiles in chest, dont need to level ST, quality is better as gives AS
- resolute technique is mandatory for same reason as above
- for defence purposes i would run Arctic armour with eldritch battery and MOM
- as auras - haste for max AS, purity of lightning for defence (purity will help much against reflect) and clarity would be a must to sustain mana for AA, grace would be last aura but would give high survavibility due to iron reflexes, ( u can also go dodge instead of IR)
- if can afford get some spell and ele dmg nodes from shady tree

Scion and Shady also can make this build as their trees are all involved

early tree to start using around level 60 with astramentis or nice all stats equipment
