Ghost Reaver should be the new claw keystone that has been talked about forever in Passive Feedback. Leeching eshield with claws has come up many, many times. Finally glad to see it coming in a nearby patch!

i hope the passive will not work ONLY with claws. I want leech ES with axe. :)

PS. Overall axes are most 'not cool' items in game. No implicit mods (why?), no exclusive skills, no nothing. :)

99% sure it's claws only.
Axes do have an implicit mod: roughly 10% more base damage than other melee weapons. Damage is their shtick.

fail. Where goes complexity and freedom of choice in this game? Every last decisions and design is done to make decisions more streamlined. WTF?
Dumbing down skill tree, passives like this exclusive to one weapon type, fail, fail, fail...

Still 'not so coll'. Maybe if the increased dmg will be visible on item it will be better.

E: unintelligent,worthless and false comment.

That claw looks ridiculously OP, only good and powerful mods, both offensive and defensive ones, and lvl64 base item.

It makes the new dagger completely worthless, it has everything better. Don't expect it to remain as it is now.

So we're getting a new game mechanic that we've never had before and that is somehow dumbing the game down and restricting you.

Why so angry?

Besides, this is pure speculation until the actual keystone (if it's even a keystone) and the actual unique weapon come out.

Ghost Reaver = you leech energy shield instead life

Odd that the claw itself has no life leech...

It'll have innate life leech just for being a Claw.

on Kripp´s stream Chris talked about a new Keystones, which allows to leech ES instead of Life.

Still no sign of Kaom's Heart, eh? I have a build that is heavily reliant on it, assuming it is anything like the legacy version...very interested in seeing it.

However, I'm curious - I don't know of any "Chaos Plate." There's also no level 66 Armor-only plate...so I'm assuming the "can be found in level 66 maps" description means from rare monsters only in level 66, magic or rare in 67, and any monster in level 68 maps? If so, the level 68 base armor is called Glorious Plate...I'm guessing the base was updated to match?

It's early in the morning, been up all night...if I've made some sort of silly mistake, forgive me. I'm just extremely overzealous about the plate and really hoping it's still comparable to the legacy version.

Oddly enough, the Divinarius Skean fits perfectly on a few builds of mine as well (so long as it wasn't changed too much, if at all), though I can find substitutes in the meantime...surprised it's so high leveled, though!

Perhaps I should ask...what was the reason for the 'legacy' uniques at the bottom being taken out? Did GGG want to tweak them a bit, or were they just unavailable until now due to new level restrictions on them?


On another note, I've already got something cooked up for the shield Neokolzia posted a few pages back...can't wait till that sucker's in game!


EDIT: Found Jonathan's post where you got the info from in the first place:

I'd just like to point out that the uniques in the legacy section at the bottom of the post are now available to drop again from maps. The reason that these left the pool is that they were assigned to base types that were higher level than the available content. With maps, this is now no longer the case.
...
The old versions displayed here will probably have incorrect base item stats, so you you will need to update the links when someone finds a new one.

Does this mean what I think it means? The base items were changed, but the mods on the items remain the same....so Kaom's Heart will still be 1k HP with no sockets?

Correct.

This is most likely correct as well. Although, we will not know for sure until the items are found. It's possible they've been tweaked a bit but should overall be roughly the same as they were.
