SUGGESTION - Orb that eats one stat from an item

It would be nice to gamble on eating a stat from an item, so another can be added.

Like a "reverse exalted".

Example:

"

An item has 6 effects, no more can be added,

You want %Energy Shield on it.

So you eat a random stat from the item. Could be a good one. Could be an expendable one. Could be a suffix, could be a prefix.

NAME: Orb of Etching

This is much the use of the eternal orb, albeit an eternal orb isn't much good on a found item with 6 affixes, or if you just go ahead and yolo exalt.

Yep this is my point. 6 native affixes, with some terrible rolls or wasted rolls, is not uncommon at all. Would be nice to be able to gamble on removing one, or more, of them.

I agree with this idea completely, not just in the 6 affixes case btw.

Love this idea.


"Eat this iir or hybrid roll, so I can add life"


"Nom nom eat this cold damage roll, so I can add life"

...or the gazillion weapons I vendored because there was a cold/fire/lightning damage roll when all I wanted was some physical damage.

I support this idea/currency design.

I made a post about this very idea back on July 1st.

If someone is better able to illustrate the concept, and of course agrees with the idea, please feel free to add your thoughts Ect..

I like the idea but what would happen if you used it on a 3(2) mod rare? Would it turn into a blue?

As far as the Affix rolls if you reduce the number below 3 drop the item quality to Blue/Magic.

This would be the reverse of how a Regal orb works. which is the only way to get a "Yellow/Rare" with only 2 affixes.
