That's why I like designing weapons. The benchmark is always @ 50% of what a perfect rare can roll as per Soul Taker. Then all that's left for you to do is to make the special property compelling enough that some builds will want to make use of it.

I think that's a really good idea. =)

That's basically what I tried to do with this chest. Also, I love your avatar. :D

Really? Let's think about this for a second. You are reducing physical damage by 50 hit points, and you are doing this in level ~60+ areas since you can only equip the item at level 59.

Physical damage. When does this apply? I doubt any animals are using physical spells, so this implies auto attacks from mobs. Now if you are a ranged evasion character do you think any mob is coming up to you close to land auto attacks? No - 90% of the time you fighting from range. So why would a ranged evasion user consider wearing this chest instead of a good rare - that animal mod is useless to them, and the rest of the chest's mods are lacklustre.

That leaves us with evasion melee, and any evasion melee character at level 60+ is NOT worried about white mobs autoattacks - they are worried about the big hits that hit for 500+. So 50 damage reduction on animal auto attacks - is again, a wasted mod for them.

The more I think about it, the more I see that this chest is actually better for an armor build with Iron Reflexes since I believe the 50 physical damage reduction comes AFTER the armor reduction. Either way it only applies to animals. So why would an IR user use this chest instead of a good rare / Daresso Defiance / Lightning Coil?

Overall, I just don't see the value of this chest - it has no place in the game, and it just seems to be poorly designed.

Hopefully you can put it to good use and prove us wrong.

Try out a lvl 20 arctic armor + this chest piece vs devourers with 0 armor rating.

Then come tell me it sux pretty plox.

Spoiler

obviously animals was put in there for the "theme" of the item, but i am sure it also had a strategical value, since i believe devourers when they submerge cannot be "evaded" and some other animals also have RT skills, the spikes from porcupine i believe also are physical and have a 100% hitrate and then finaly we come to the animal based Ethereal knive using bosses, which reduces the ek by 50 damage PER PROJECTILE, ek consists of 12 projectiles btw

I am sorry to say, but i think you lack game-play experience or mechanics understanding to value this mod correctly given the current game state. And how it interacts with evasion based characters and there current defensive possibility's

Peace all, and yes, chest rocks in certain combinations don't be fooled :), the movement buff is also very cool :D!
