Cherrubim's Maleficence - Supporter's Unique Item Craft Retrospective
" Here's the thing which firmly cements this in the "meh" slot for me. You're talking about bladefall and BV? Carcass jack completely has this thing beaten. Yeah, you give up a smidgen of defense (eva, life, get resists in return), but you get substantial radius and phys damage increase. EK? And who runs that, exactly? Hell, I' think that Voltaxic Sparkers would love this thing--any one of them running it? Highly doubtful. For all of GGG's "balancing" abilities, they seem to lose sight of the forest for the trees -- that an item is supposed to be useful first, balanced second. If by balanced, it's next to unused, even for the builds that would theoretically love it (poison builds), you know something's wrong. |

If only Voltaxic had art it would look so Baller with your chest 3D art :3

"It'll come soon. But in the mean time, it worked out well with the new Prophecy Supporter Pack:  The Gemling Queen favours 'NotACuckRoach'.

I think it definitely needs to be buffed, since it got the short end of the straw by being released right before the Chaos reworks and such..

Happy to find one the other day. I had an old one, the version with the low life leech.

" I concur, however, what would you suggest so that GGG gets the right attention and can consider it? No guarantees though. It is always at GGG's discretion, not ours. But worth the communication. ♡ ～('▽^人) The Gemling Queen favours 'NotACuckRoach'.

"The problem isnt that its weak, its that builds that would use it have access to vaal pact easily or if you have Acuities, those. Basically any Duelist, Ranger, Shadow. I would use it on a Viper Striker, but again, build go to is going to be Vaal Pact in that case. If VP or instant leech mechanics were removed (and they probably should be) leech rate items would be way better and far more valuable in terms of when you can use them in a build. Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

With some Chaos changes (Admittedly most likely pure nerfs) coming, and the fact that visually the item is a dead ringer for the Prophecy theme... You might be able to convince GGG to make a Fated version, if you can't convince them to outright buff it.
Suggestions for Buffs/Fated: +) Chaos Res (Either Flat, or scaling in someway; I.e Gain X C.Res for every X% C.Damage) +) Negative enemy Chaos Res (On hit, while leeching, or an Aura effect) +) Give one of the Chaos related passive nodes (Void Beacon would be nice, but I doubt you could get an Ascendancy node on gear) +) Heals from Chaos Damage you receive (E.g Regenerate x% of Chaos Damage you receive {Possibly calculated before resistances?}) |

Add the ability to leech with chaos damage. Even if it's only a low set amount, it would add both personality and build significance.
