Short Questions Thread

So, being still very new at this mod, i am full of questions still. I always see COTW being mentioned about how OP they are, and im just wondering what makes them so good. is it all the Oskills that you normally cant get or what

the "1-pointers" are the actual overpowered stuff to get from COTW (take Stormblast for example ) . the others that are crapy as 1-pointers and need many points to be efficient (take 1-pointer Flamefront as example) are actualy worthless . so more than half of the COTW-s are crap .

let's say i found a Sacred Armor COTW last night. I know the skill was changed recently - is that still a good COTW? Boost defense stats a lot for like 10 or so seconds..?

i believe you could be confusing Sacred armor with Demiurge . Sacred armor provides life regeneration , 25% magic resist and 1k base defense per hard point + negative velocity unless you invest into Rapture . lasts about 6 seconds at 15 sec timer . it's not shining as 1-pointer



if it is Demiurge you are talking about , then it is crapy too as you only get 50 flat AA for 1-pointer COTW that also lasts around 6 seconds at 15 sec cooldown . you need more hard points into it to make it worth

You can't go wrong with

. +1 all skills, and more importantly, +1 to maximum skill level. Even if you don't need the gloves, you can equip them, spend 1 more skill point per skill, then switch back to better gloves. Same goes for

Hellfire Plate

Hellfire Plate

In any case, you can make the gloves RW, then use a potion of disjunction with 3 perfect gems to break the RW and get your rune back, so you can make another runeword if you're interested in one.
