Stealthmaster's Weapons/Armor ideas

[ahriman_eye]

that bladed shield

[void]

OK, not overanalyzing anything but some items are so-so, some others are obviusly and ridiculously OP right now.

Paladin blunt weaopn Behemoth could potentially be OP. Barb has 5% TS on kill Esubane sword and can with the right gear clear an entire cow lvl with it. This one has 10% TS and 15% on striking proc!
But would have to try that one. it's not 100% clear if it's actually OP because barb has amazing buffs like Kraken and Snake Stance.

The Circlet Gaia has some baked cheese all over it.

Nagarja belt is over the top crazy strong. 2 skills and 350ed? Noice. 50 fhr? Wat is this thing "real"? Slows target 5%? Wow what an amazing belt. Damage reduction, Spellbind, poison reduction, massive flat psn res and -req. OK, this item was already OP, but now it's the OP tier in the OP class. 1500 life... you kidding bruh? Most OP on the list maybe. Literally every stat on it is godly.
/e: In all fairness, there are other fantastic belt options like Black Void that offer different stats like life leech. Perhaps not the best choice in every situation, but definitely does make a char tanky.

Anguirus Assa shield is basically Danmaku on crack without the Javelin Nova. Easily the best item in the slot if it was real. No other shield has this many procs. PLUS 1% extra block, PLUS 2skills, PLUS masssssssive %dex. Crazy item.
/e: Have to be fair, LoXis is pretty crazy too. For cow xp it's probably the better choice.

Manticore Pally shield. Curare is super strong man. Not sure if it's completely OP because the other stats aren't massively crazy, but it's definitely great for Curare.

The other ones are potentially OP or not-so-hot, but it's not as obvious to me. Frickin belt from the gods...

Thanks for the feedback!

The maul has on kill TS proc, not on striking. Also, holy melee needs some love.

The Circlet Gaia has some baked cheese all over it.

0 TCD balances all other stats, imo.

The main reason to have a strong belt like this (which requires 2x rarest GR, btw) is

Nero

that you can found in 50% of current playing builds. Also, I'm pretty sure, 90% people are farming for/buying Auhe rune to make exactly this runeword.

Edit: unless you can use Nero to brebuff Path of Flames only. Forgot whether you can do this or it dispels after unequipping.

Anguirus Assa shield is basically Danmaku on crack without the Javelin Nova. Easily the best item in the slot if it was real. No other shield has this many procs. PLUS 1% extra block, PLUS 2skills, PLUS masssssssive %dex. Crazy item.

Tbh, I forgot about Broadside skill that can make it even more crazy, but this is also one of the fastest ideas that came to my mind - to gather all knive procs in one item.

Manticore Pally shield. Curare is super strong man. Not sure if it's completely OP because the other stats aren't massively crazy, but it's definitely great.

Again, holy melee is underpowered/underplayed. What's more, no one ever plays 1h + shield holy melee, so Curare is just what you need to make a potential pala build like this shine.

[Gekko64]

people are making Nero in mass because the most popular guides use it, not because it's particularly broken

[Stealthmaster]

Actually, PoF buff from it is really strong, even for builds that don't stack fire spell dmg/-resists for that reason.

2nd part, 100% truth. 1st yea, it's got 10% on kill TS and 15% Thunderhammer on striking. That's what I meant. Sry for wording it so that it can be understood differently.

The Circlet Gaia has some baked cheese all over it.

For regular play, yes. For cheesetastic plans, no. There are still some exploits to use the Unholy Armor staff to cheese. The helm is even better. But on the plus side, you don't need to find a sacred unique for invulnerability shield to tank Soul of Wrath. That's pretty nice.

By that logic, if this belt gets implemented and 90% of people then use it, will you make an even stronger belt or will you do the sensible thing and change Nero and this one?

And you can make it even greater if you so wish by putting points into the synergy for Scorpion Blade. Wychwind and this shield... the procs.

Yea it definitely is a good reason to give the build a shot. Although it would be nice to be able to use the build well without finding a lot of GRs. But it's a fair point.

If I implemented it and saw such a situation among players, yes, would have probably nerfed it. SotS was nerfed/buffed again about 5 times for the same reason and still many people use it nowadays. Also, there's one more reason I made such stats on a belt - 2 sockets. Spellbind charges will require repairing them and it will cost helluva gold for you unless you want to endlessly unsocket the belt with tons of Pgems.

Anyway, I already edited it: reduced the number of Spellbind charges

Added more regular weapons ideas.

[void]

not done looking at all of them but 1% stormblast on striking crossbow, no. no. no. nonono. 1% stormblast on STRIKING on anything is op. it just is. try it on its own. 1% on striking in old mxl version.

[Stealthmaster]

Well, a potential build who would use it (xbow necro?) won't go into melee range and Stormblast's range itself is limited. Also, you'll hardly gonna see it more than once or twice per each voodoo shot, so I don't think it's OP. More like a 100% finisher proc.

Also, googled 'stormblast on striking' using quote marks and didn't find any info about such a thing. If it was in older MXL versions (I actually don't remember it) it would have been saved in the internet (old docs/BLaz version buff/nerf log), so I'm not sure what you were talking about.
