unique items *no longer updated*

I think people are underestimating how powerful that ring can be. Unless you are a CI or Vaal Pact build, you generally carry around 1 curse immunity flask. Depending on the map mods you rolled you could end up with vulnerability temp chains rhoas or skeleton mages with frostbite temp chains, something dangerous like that. The more dangerous the curses in that map, the more powerful the ring is, it indirectly gives you resists on these kind of maps. Ele weakness? Halved. Vulnerability? Halved.

The life gain on hit isnt bad either, its very strong for lightning arrow builds, or any builds that involve multistrike.

Really the biggest weakness of that ring is that it has no life, if it had life it would be hands down one of the strongest uniques in the game. Right now its a unique that is decent in general situations, and extremely strong in certain situations.

What order would you prefer the mods in? We can't change it just for that item, but if the required changes would be reasonable and fit within our reasons for the ordering of things then I see no reason why I couldn't shift a few things around in the files to change the order they appear. Last I checked that still worked for items. So no guarantees, but let me know and I can look into it.

It appears that they each correspond:

The ring I stole, - Increase Quantity
My finger they took, - Can only use one ring
A shrouded mind, - Elemental resist 1?
Cut their curses short, - 50% reduced curses
As I drained their spirit - Mana gain on hit
And stole their soul - Life gain on hit
A blessing is a curse - Elemental resist 2?

That's my best guess.

I do not understand this obsession with making uniques such a double-bladed sword.

I mean sure, if it's THAT OP, I can understand. The Soul chest would probably be sickly OP if it was supported by level 20 Spell totem rather than 14. I get that.


But there is no way this ring is worth 2 ring slots, in any situation. Either make them extremely OP + a good negative drawback, or just....Make them....and not fuck the character over at the same time.

Btw, if the LGoH on this ring is affected by damage effectiveness as well, then it's even more "meh".

If this item didn't have the double edged sword it would be another kaoms. Imagine having 2 of these.

Make it unique-equipped then?

As is you can only wear this ring, and no other ring at all.

Touche`
I'd buy that.

Well thanks for Prismatics. That's sweet. The ring itself is pretty terrible though.

It hasn't tested weak in our balance testing. I'll keep an eye out on how its used in the next couple of weeks.

He sees you when your sleeping. He knows when your awake! He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!

Santa Qarl is coming... to town!!!!!

Actually the other "edge" in Kaoms is the lack of slots. Users will be forced to use 2H weapons if they want 6 linking :) Because if it had 6 slots, toons can get 1 wep + shield would OP their HP and general defence

What I meant was everyone wanting one. In a unique like kaoms the good far outweighs the bad, and so many players seek it. I think this unique would be the same way if not for the fact it takes 2 ring slots.

double post ><

The drawbacks have two functions.

Firstly, they add personality to an item. Like people, these items are double-edged swords. You have to think before just equipping them. I'd rather create a more interesting item than one that every Tom, Dick and Harry would want to wear thoughtlessly. That sort of cheapness and superficiality is not worth $1000 in my eyes.

Secondly, they allow for more easy balancing/overpowering. Thief's Torment, for example, is a trap of sorts. You read all those bonuses and only at the end do you get the sucker punch. I can definitely see uses for that ring, but obviously you'd have to build for it. I'm not entirely sure it pulls the weight of two rings, but it definitely has some interesting offerings.

found this on 72lv map

Question about that map after seeing it on Kripp's stream. Anyone know if the magic/rare/unique monsters the boss raises can give xp/loot? the map seemed pretty uneventful from the stream so I'd like to at least think there's some hidden factor unseen.

NO
