Silly part aside I still don't understand is why it has move speed on it.

If you watched the video you would know why it would have move speed.

i watched a couple minutes of the video. its pretty terrible and life wasting and painful to watch. if anyone actually watched the whole thing u are a true trooper.

can we get tldr of why it has movespeed?

Because late game boots without move speed are a joke.

I never said that! I like move speed! OP or not!

In my experience, they don't give two shits about that. The ilvl is something else, of course.

As an aside, I don't know if Skyforth deserves all the negativity being thrown his way. It isn't his fault that GGG let his unique into the game as is. He made the unique he wanted to make and that is a good thing that he got it just how he wanted it. Giving him crap about it is just as bad as giving supporters crap for making 'trash' level uniques as other players like to do.

So Kudos to Skyforth for getting just what he wanted. Its a shame we aren't all so lucky but I am glad he got his.

True but most of the people crying about how OP these boots are just upset that it's rivaling old shavs/mjolner/void in terms of rarity. Do you remember the shitfest before the 4x drop increase? People cried all day cause they couldn't afford those items playing as a casual. Now you can buy a Shavs for 4-5 EX, such a fucking joke.

Glad these boots made it into the game, something real to strive for instead of dogshit like nerfed windripper/garbo mjolner.

I'm pretty baffled as to why the design team roadblocked me from letting Dreamfeather be equal DPS to current Soul Taker (not even that amazing) and prevented me from having the limitations your boots has with regards to acquisition and yet you managed to get this.

Nice to know I did mine either too late or too early. How hard did you fight to get what you wanted by the way?

Congratulations on getting what you wanted though. They're a cool pair of boots.

Didn't watch video, have no opinion on topic at hand, posted anyway. Come at me, bro.

1.These boots are BiS for CI builds. I literally cannot think of a rare with better stats.

2.Gating something behind economic cost is ok. But it being OP in return isn't.

3.There are uniques that are:

a) plainly bad. They are supposed to provide a niche use, but the upside is simply trash, or the downside is simply horrible

b) good uniques-they have an obvious downside that restricts power (not giving 500000% increased dmg but "cannot crit"-ok lol I was gonna go RT anyway), examples being Infernal mantle, Volls protector etc.

c) OP uniques-good uniques without downsides-pretty much all the top tier uniques-shavs (what's its downside? 200 less ES than BiS Vaal regalia?), Mjolner (7 link CoC really balanced), Voll's devotion (lets give it a way to obviously generate literally infinite endurance charges, which would be ok, but lets also give it life, ES, STR and INT. Downside? minor reduction in charges duration).

What people often fail to realize is that opportunity cost is a factor in balancing. Have a wand that gives only 3 PC's at no downsides? Well consider that a dagger can give >180% CC, while the wand effectively gives 100% which you have to sustain somehow. That's what makes Void battery borderline OP, but still it falls under category b)

No, Shav is almost 500 ES less than BiS Regalia, which is crazy huge.

It shouldn't matter how hard you fight. GGG should be consistent on their design process considering every support paid them 1000 dollars to do it.
