Voidhome, needs an overhaul

Something needs to be done about Voidhome, with the item having the penalty it has, I don't ever see it being used unless you happen to hit 100.

I would say either remove the exp penalty or the IQ penalty, having both is a bit too much

So, you don't see any PvP use for this item?

The game is not centered around PvP, and that is a direct quote from Chris.

The item is completely useless for anything that isn't PvP, and PoE is a PvE game

Well...does that mean that there should be no items that perhaps favor PvP?

I am not a PvP fan mind you.

Well I am talking about this in context for PvE, but I literally do not see any use in this item with its current penalties

Lol I agree with the OP 100%. Ive been using this voidhomme weapon from level 54 to 65. At first i tried using it for safer leveling, but the problem is now I cant stop using it. Every other weapon Ive found just seems so much worse that I have to go back to using void. I don't know if the 30% XP penalty is as bad as it appears, because when using other weapons id say i clear levels at least 30% slower (and less safely due to life leech and me hitting them not as hard and fast). But the 43% reduced rare find seems to be pretty ball breaking, maybe they should tone that down a bit, I guess its cool that they have the negative side to the weapon as it means they can make it absolutely crazy without it being too overpowered.

Hyrri's ire and void home with 40,46 rolls. my worst unqiues collection is growing...

When PVP becomes popular and melee buffed this is gonna climb in value.

Holy necro batman, but hell point still valid and I still agree

stack item quantity and go farm for orbs ,

voidholm enables a player to farm the same area without over leveling it longer.
And lets face it 50% iir is NOTHING, not when the average spell caster can roll 400%

and most rares that drop aren't worth anything anyway.

your better off farming for linked whites orbs for currency (and not for crafting because that is a waste)

The guy above is correct. Voidhome can be used for farming currency, even though it does sound perverted.

Aside from that and the obvious PVP use, Voidhome is a boss killer/mobility tool. Have it on a weapon swap for dealing out tons of damage to a boss (only the killing blow matters for exp/drop allocation) or use it to get away from danger. It's a very undervalued item people tend to dismiss because they can't find a clever application for it.
