Creating a Unique Item
|
I feel if you create uniques that have a theme behind them they should provide a special bonus for each of the items that you have equipped and if you have the whole set a special bonus on top of that. Its a good balance because the bonus might be great but not for specific builds so it automatically has some downsides.

Great Scyte Skinn i loved Scythe Type weapons on my diablo 2 whirlwind barb back in classic days soooo much
problem i see with this weapon its as it looks for now a pure CoC weapon, CoC already demotivationg a lot of people to play in parties because of heavy grids required to outlast them thats not my one and only point the much more important one is CoC is alrdy super strong enough with exsisting uniques (see windripper). so id say make it a pure melee weapon and exclude spell crit from it like: "increases global critical strike chance for melee attacks only" and add like 3% to that poor crit rate would be a first step to make 2 hand playstyle viable again as of now 2hand melee is in a pretty bad spot. |

1. It's pointless to stack crit if your base damage is low.
2. It's pointless to stack crit with axes. 3. The axe has low base damage (for end game) and low aspd. Basically the crit on it is almost useless. Only a fool would try to build around it, or perhaps when you're leveling some kind of crit shadow or ranger it would be alright. i use a secret account because i am a politician that doesnt want the NSA to know i play poe.

I would like to know where are the numbers coming from when creating an item.
Why 6 % lifeleech ? Why not 4 %, 5 % or 10 % ? Why exactly 4 % crit per level why not 5 % or another number ? I made my point. |

On another note:
Top-Down design. Ew. Bottom-Up is SO MUCH BETTER for this kind of thing. I remember a MTG quote regarding Top-Down design resulting in BBBBBB manacost batman 6/6 flying trample first strike has batchucks |

" Dead HC characters go to legacy standard. You can't get them in to the SC temp leagues. When I kill a man he stays dead.

What an embarrassing dev diary/post.
No wonder we have such insane power creep. Did anybody even read this shit? " Most experienced ARPG players will CRINGE when reading this. It basically endorses power creep, and the perception that uniques are supposed to be "all-important" or the "best." No wonder PoE is going downhill. Their design philosophy is shot to shit. Lately PoE feels more like playing some shitty d2 mod like Median than a real, polished ARPG. And the source of this is coming right from the top: misguided developers. " I can. Read the above quote. Crown of Eyes has the "all-important unique colour" and thus has "amazing properties." *cringe* Last edited by Veruski#5480 on Jul 14, 2014, 8:47:45 PM

" I wasn't asking if you could take something into the Temp leagues. I was just wondering if you could play in the up coming 4 month leagues HC and take, for example, that scythe from HC by deliberating do a suicide with the char and by that getting the scythe into the SC 4 month leagues.
