Stupid dev... yeah whispering ice staff look insane but why the F*ck are you always doing it half way and limiting level 19 for item spell ? only when skill reach level 20 can we have the 6 socket so you are releasing skill that is not mean to do endgame since not having 6 socket limit damage by a insane amount.

+1 the fact that the skill granted by item can never be 6 socket, is a huge no go for such skills

I disagree. If you compare it to firestorm you get:
0.15 damage per second vs 0.1 damage per second,
Limit of 3 vs limit of 1
Mostly the same damage as lvl 20 firestorm

So right out the box you have at lvl 19 vs lvl 20 firestorm:
40 attacks over 6 seconds at averaging 586 dmg per bolt times 3 = 70 320 dmg
vs
60 attacks over 6 seconds at 602.5 dmg per bolt = 36 150 dmg

It's double the damage of firestorm.

Plus it has a 11% crit chance vs 7%.

Add to that the ability to int stack which has always be super strong. You can get some pretty impressive damage.

Lets say you dont use the staff and you double wand +5 skill. You can't have more than +6 skills total (already has +4 on whisp ice, but we dont have the numbers yet, so to make it fair, we compare with lvl 26 firestorm)

firestorm lvl 26:
60 attacks over 6 seconds at 1250 dmg per bolt = 75 000 dmg

Even if you go up to lvl 30, i highly doubt it will be that much better than a lvl 23 icestorm.

Add to that the easy possibility to add 400% increased spell damage with 1000 int.

It will be really strong.

We need more useless unique stuff!

Nobody wants to be forced in to using very specific items. So no, a mythic unique shield should not be "ultra god mode".

Uniques are, and should be, exactly how they are named. They are unique. They do unique things. The rarer the unique, the more interesting the thing.
