unique items *no longer updated*

This set makes me feel... kind of crap about rare items. I could never feel the kind of excitement I'd get if I found the Tabula Rasa without having heard of it first from any rare.

It's like... Rares are all one specific item, and everything you find is just some level of an inferior version of that item. Like for armor, that's +Stat, +Stat%, +Life and then resist or whatever. There's never an unexpected surprise that makes you think twice about it.

Does this mean GGG will start using colorless sockets in more stuff now?

In the long tail it's inevitable, some day. Follow the good with the good. As Rosewater often says "what, should I make mechanics based on cards people DON'T like?"

I just found the monkey king staff pillar of the caged god and it's ilvl is high enough for 6 socket. Has anyone made a build yet? or maybe calculated some theoretical numbers etc

I did some fast math with it and you get get it to do ok dmg just as facebreaker but not close to a good rare endgame item.

+10 str notes are better then any phy% dmg note as they give +12% phy dmg and life but as the base dmg is 25.5 and with added on gear you can get close to 100 phy dmg with +1000-1500% phy dmg.

So it will never be as good as a good rare.

Wouldn't mind seeing a 4 Link Unique Helm/Boot/Glove with just ONE Prismatic socket :)

I wouldn't mind seeing a Prismatic ring turned up to 11 with a Prismatic socket on it.

Maybe have it support the gem on it with added cold/fire/lightning (...of the same level as the gem in it?) too would be interesting

Man I need a spare $1000

Would be really cool if they made a white socket to be able to roll on items with like 0.1% chance or something. But eh, won't see that I feel.

Wow that's a bummer :( Time to sell this thing I guess.

Anyone else love the change to Voll's Protector? At first, I was using it for my cold snap/crit spam build. But now it just seems awesome for freezing pulse. If you have LMP/GMP on freezing pulse and are hitting only one target, a crit will give you 3-4 charges at once.

I can almost use cold snap non-stop with a big aoe pack using only 1 gem. (I dont have enough crit yet)

I wonder how this would work with non-stop discharge.

BTW I just realised it is the exact opposite of Kaoms heart!

Kaom's have best stats on armor (1000hp), but worst sockets (no sockets)
Tabula have best sockets on armor (always 6l with no need to chrome it), but don't have any stats at all

It's also the opposite of Thousand Ribbons, which is a Simple Robe with pretty much all the stats, where Tabula Rasa is a Simple Robe that's actually simple, and has no stats.

Clearly this means that Thousand Ribbons is actually Kaom's.

hehe yes, but Thousand Ribbons have like the worst life :D
best for body armor is high life and 6l sockets.

Ok... there are also other good stats like armor/evasion/energy shield, chaos resist, all resist, but nothing can beat 1000 life and also there is no dispute that 6l colorless are the best sockets

btw inb4
10000 armor, no life
or
20000 evasion that is not used with Iron Reflexes
or
500 mana no stats
(you saw it here first!) ;p

There are various things that change calcs on this.

Increased melee physical damage only applies to your weapon's physical damage. The physical weapon should apply to all damage though. Also more physical damage is a multiplicative support.

I think you're right though that a good rare or Marohi would be better endgame. Need to calc more though. It also has lots of Aoe options... And don't forget the attack speed.

You can also actually use weapon elemental damage with this and you can't so that with facebreakers
