New 2.5 belt perseverance

Community designed unique :D

one out of many possible outcomes of GGG polls, good stuff

This is how I feel about this unique. I was hoping that the "unknown" supplementing mods would be good. They are clearly not.

You will struggle to reach more than more than 30-40 attack damage on this unique. It is possible to reach more, but not without sacrificing a lot. Though, +attack damage is better than +physical damage. Way better.

The life roll on this item requires 1000 life from strength and other gear to be an "ok'ish" roll. That is hard to do without stacking strength. And stacking strength on a hybrid build is kind of strange.

BUT, the onslaught mod is great.

I guess I was hoping for this to be an end game unique. It's not. But a cool and original unique it is.

I agree with Phrazz.

Not sure on his #s, but they sound right.

Fortify on Melee Stun is....Well, only good for Melee, which I like, but it's also only good for hard hitting melee, or slayers. Hard hitting melee builds are rare, usually you focus on spam, or at least run Multistrike. So for most melee builds that might want the fortify/onslaught thing, you'll just want to run Fortify somewhere.


Maybe it would have been better if it was Fortify while you have Onslaught. Reverse the order, and then Raiders and anyone with a Silver Flask could get good use from the belt.

Fortify was MEANT to be melee only...But GGG has shot that all to hell, and clearly doesn't care, so they should probably act like it.

Also...The random Cold Res make ZERO sense. It's not a thematic add, and it's not making much sense to make the unique better at that roll level.1

You have Onslaught while you have Fortify.

Champion Notable Fortitude: You have Fortify.

The other mods are just a bonus.

I knew when Ziggy worked with the community to build this and said "I want to work with GGG to make this a chase item. Something really rare and really high item level"

Inevitably GGG watered the belt down to this shit. I would never consider wearing that belt. I would expect more out of an item at level 78.

It seems as if the only unique that has been allowed to be OP in recent times is Skyforth...so if anyone out there wants to make a good unique. Talk with skyforth and ask him how he pulled the wool over GGG's eyes to allow such a unique.

Whatever...loot is trash in this game anyway outside of a handful of items.

allowed to be OP

Allowed to remain OP, that is. Both the Reach and Voidheart were arguably OP when they were introduced.

Thank god it has some life and resists, otherwise it would be useless.

I'm going to give it a shot with my cyclone character, but not now... little too pricey atm. We'll see if drops down later on.

I prefer reliable effects as most onslaught effects are on kill, this one can be triggered easily. So I like it, but I do see how it falls flat in other areas.
