Really hoping to get my hands on one.
This is imo one of the coolest Uniques so far.

You essentially lose out on 10 sockets (chest + helmet). If you run 6 auras, you are stuck with one skill and no backup.

You realize that the helmet can have 4 sockets?
Wonder how you can loose 10 Sockets by unequiping a max 6 Socket armor. Besides, 6 Auras on a FB Char ? Wonder what the heck ur doing...

You clearly don't have a facebreaker build. If you use your helmet for your main attack, what empty sockets are left ?

Is this a joke ? If you run 6 auras, you're left with only 3 empty sockets on your shield.

Who the fuck runs 6 Auras on a FB Char...you should ask urself if they are as useful as you think. End of discussion. Peace out.

Now this, this helm, this IS an interesting item.


Well done Prp.

Just a bit of background info on the item.

Thematically this is designed around the Starz! series, 'Spartacus'. I've also attributed it the name "The Bringer of Rain" in honour of Andy Whitfield (original actor of Spartacus) who tragically passed away. The item is designed to encompass the entire show as best it can, honouring as many people as possible between the look of the helm, it's name, and flavour text.

Now you have made me want to log in and play again.

Best.unique.ever

15% additional chance to block (worded in a really confusing way for some ungodly reason) is HUGE. That's basically almost 2 whole block clusters on the passive tree. Not being able to wear a chest isnt a huge deal because it has over 200 health on it, and the it has 3 useful supports built in.

The chance to generate an endurance charge is mostly just a matter of convenience, since it's never been difficult to maintain max endurance charges. Just tedious.

The only real issue is that it means you get no resists on either your helm or your chest piece, but that's workable.




My first thought was to use this with a dual wield build as a means of getting 75% block chance, but essentia sanguis is out of the question because you cant be having ghost reaver if you cant equip a chest piece. Another option is ungil's gauche, but at that point you may as well use a shield instead of a sub par dagger.

So now we can block with a bow ?
