BoRing Thread With BoRing Question...

Does anyone use this item anymore (Bringer of Rain)? Do you guys think it needs a buff? I made a build for the 1 month torm/bl that uses block and when i usually think of a build like that, my mind instantly goes to BoR. This time around i didn't even consider it as an option. Dismissed instantly...

Should it be better than it currently is? What does the community think after a league of it being at its weakest?

I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

Its a sad helmet for sad people who can't afford 6links to console themselves.
Ya, it's still a very solid unique.

It just got downgraded from BiS for specific builds to a stepping stone to a potentially better set up.


EDIT: I should clarify I'm speaking directly to the new rendition. Not the legacy versions.

So, who of you are still using it?

I never had it. Would love to have one for my collection though.
BoR is pretty damn good for a 1-month league. I see no reason why you would dismiss it.

My thinking is that you can almost get the same block chance from a corrupted ammy, you don't have to sacrifice a chest slot for it, so it's not worth it in my book. The 6l is okay but you lose a 4l so that's your riposte/vengeance/reckoning or your cwdt setup gone... It just limits your options too much for what it provides.

Funny how after an item has been balanced people called it useless but if its OP they go overboard with overpricing it and overusing it to no end. BTW, thats the reason GGG has to reshape the meta all the time, no one is content with playing with balanced things, so they shift the base game in the direction they want it so everyone can still feel OP.
Lol, 'balanced'. The first iteration of BoR was the most balanced unique, according to experts. The second was even more balanced. Then they made it more rare, for some reason, prob. balance. And then it got uberbalanced a third time :P

I looted the second iteration during Ambush, but never actually used it, because a 6L chest is superior in every way.

E:
imo the current situation with BoR is sad, in a Kaom's glorious plate way of sad. Much too rare for what it offers.
