Wearing a rare chest endgame
|
Is there even a reason to do this if you're not CI?
- Lowlife: shavronnes or that low lvl chest. - MoM chest - Carcass jack - Lightning coil - Belly of the Beast - That destiny leather unique chest - Voll's protector - Kaom's Heart - Daresso's Defiance Between all these items I see no reason to wear a rare chest anymore if you don't need to. I don't know a single build that doesn't have a unique chest as its BiS chest piece. i use a secret account because i am a politician that doesnt want the NSA to know i play poe.

110 life 45 lighting/fire/cold resist 6 linked. yes can always be worth it however you need a very good rare chest. Just a sec let me grab a beer...@#*@ Ok how did I die this time
Learn the rules, it's the only way to exploit them. |

Only build I can think of that would use something not on that list is a CI user wanting a ~1k es trires regalia.
Overall though, unique chests are quite a bit better than most rares, and not many have real tradeoffs. Instead they're "balanced by their rarity" or just straight-up badly costed. |

Once again... the game is played by more than just you. Others play the game under different restrictions than you allow for yourself. Quit acting like everyone should have access to all the gear they could dream of.
Of those listed I have access to one. CJ. I don't even have plans to use it. |

" I'm not acting like that at all! GGG promised us that there wouldn't be any such thing like in Diablo where Uniques are best in slot. What do we have? Exactly that situation. Which is something I am not happy with... i use a secret account because i am a politician that doesnt want the NSA to know i play poe.

" They meant a single unique wouldn't be best in slot for all builds. How can you have build enabling uniques and not have them be best in slot for their particular build?? When I kill a man he stays dead.

None of those are BIS. Each is situational. You've misunderstood what you're mad at.

It's getting harder to justify using a rare chest for end game that's for sure.

" Max block Arc build using EB and MoM keystone - you need ES, life & resists which no unique chest caters for sufficiently. |

GGG dont mind that 70% of builds equip A unique chest as long as 70%+ dont equip THE same unique chest.
They also dont mind that 5% of builds equip solely uniques in every slot, so long as 70+% dont. GGG dont like it when some uniques are way too powerful Examples of when GGG stepped in due to the above: Phase run: probably > 70% of people used this gem and if you didn't you were probably wrong not to. GGG didnt like it. They removed it to be reworked. Clarity: Clarity is the most used aura in the game. Pretty much every large patch, this gets nerfed a little to try to encourage people to opt for different methods to regen their mana Shav's, aegis, koams etc: While these uniques found their way into the game and were very OP, GGG dont want to be arse holes and remove them completely, nor do they want to nerf them out of OP range as having some OP build uniques is fun. Simply toning them down was the compramise they made. Generally i'm happy with decisions GGG make and the philiosophy in which they make them. |
