@CHP, just to clarify, I was just joking I'm not selling Kaoms. It will sit in the RO tab, until more glorious days come for it... In the current state of the game it should drop down to T2 rarity, imo (which can be easily done, without creating more messy legacy stuff).

As, for Saffell's... yea it should probably be buffed again (around 100%). But then the meta will change again and, urgh.. -_-

I'm using a high roll legacy one on my Cyclone facebreaker for Atziri & her Vaal guardians. Works great.

Good shield club!

I still think saffells is really strong even without any block nodes taken. +5% max res is really strong, even if the shield itself lacks life or resists it's a really great stat. Spell block component is an afterthought. Having only 20% spell block seems weak but when it requires no investment other than a single gear slot, which also gives the crazy 5 max res, well that's just peachy. Rathpith may give around 10-15% depending on how many block nodes you take, but it'll never have the juicy max res.

Fact is that the lack of attack block isn't really a huge problem if your build already has a bunch of ways to deal with attacks, such as blind or whatnot which has absolutely no effect on spellcasters. Which is where saffells shines best to cover up your weaknesses.

Except a non legacy saffels is 4% and less block chance applied to spells.

Was going to link a non legacy one, but it appears all mine on standard are legacy ^_^

you dont really need a saffels (or really, defenses) to facetank shipyard gravicius. even his molten shell is a joke. and his firestorm can pretty much be negated by mid-level AA

he's one of the map bosses in the game that is severely underpowered, hes essentially a pinata.
