There's absolutely no logic in those things going through QA.
Even if you need to do high area zones to make them drop, they're still way too powerful. Participated in the working of the Dyadus Avatar of Fire Templar:

" It could be something to do with 'the QA guy' being the designer (not supporter) of the original Soul Taker. Casually casual.

" Or, maybe not. The hype is real. Self found FTW \o/ Casually casual.

" While I get your point it just doesn't go well with rest of items in the game. Your boots ARE GREAT or if you prefer, they ARE PERFECT. And that's the problem here. We don't have perfect items in this game which can be used by more than half of the builds. In some games we have many OP items and people can choose whether they want gloves giving them OP fire dmg boost or OP defense or OP nullification of all elements and so on. So people jsut decide in which they want to be OP. But in this game almost everything is mediocre, both defenses and bonuses. You need to mix few items to get something useful by enhanicing small bonuses or even if item have nice bonus you need to balance its dowsides with other stuff. It's All about CONTRAST Right now, there is nothing better than your boots. Only builds based around regen or some idiots focusing on having highest amounts of ES on EVERY gear will not take them. The problem is not that they are badly designed, they make every other alternative a trash. Your design is like giving ancient samurai nation shop with laser swords. Maybe some ninja-clans will stick with traditional ones because new one "glow in night", some might stick with older ones for they unique techniques where they grab swords blades etc.... but all the rest will just walk with f#$#$ing LASER SWORDS which cut every other one in half.

What's crazy to me is that there are 0 ft on standard league according to Poe.trade, but 3 ft in hc talisman!
I was lucky enough to chance a pair with a couple hundred orbs right after they released. Very powerful item indeed, my ci cold crit witch is loving them. "The Eye of Ra appears against you,

" And if that is NOT a bad design ... i really don't know what is ... and for this i really can't blame Skyforth but the guys over GGG who looked at the boots and said "Yeah that unique is fine, i don't see nothing wrong with it." I'll say it again ... great boots ... too good for PoE as it is at the moment. Sure the idea behind the boots is good ... but when you create a unique that is simply BiS in even half of the builds out there then it is not a good design. I am aware that these boots are not the only example of such unique items but that doesn't make them any better then those items which are badly designed as well. Of course this is all just an opinion and it really doesn't matter much ( or at all really ). In any case ... grats Skyforth on the release of your unique i'm sincerely happy for you! :) "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!!

" GGG did not mandate ilvl84 drop, he did. So really could have been released at something like 77. IGN: Arlianth

" Yeah, this is my general take on these boots as well. I'm happy the OP got what they wanted, and that the item is useful and desired. That said, I completely do not understand how this item gets them QA and others either get released in a crappy state or nerfed into oblivion. I have two uniques to design, and most of my time thinking about them has been spent on coming up with ideas that are as independent as possible from the nerf hammer/QA arbitrariness. |
