Kaom's Heart, The ''Awesome Button'' of Poe

It's that button in console adventure games when you press the x button you slaughter hundreds of enemies with ease.But we don't have this in Poe do we? It's hardcore remember! Nope we instead have Kaom's Heart that makes you have 8-10 k hp.And if you win the lottery maybe you can have that item.

Why would GGG put something like in this game is beyond me.What happened to ''Rares always will be better than uniques strategy'' ? Shavronne,Marohi,Alpha's Howl and the Emperor the GLORIOUS Kaom's Heart says hello.I know it's too late to nerf one of these because it would make the owners go crazy.It simply is not possible to change these items at this point.My question is, why would you put these items ingame in the first place?What happened to your ''rares will always be better than uniques policy'' ?

Kaom's heart needs a 2handed weapon to ever achieve anything past 4 slots.
Shavronne's does make it so chaos doesn't pass your energy shield but it still HITS you for damage, you still need chaos resistance.
Marohi is just an end game mace, I've heard of people getting maces nearly as good as it be it from drops/crafting
Alpha's howl is the only one i would say is truly overpowered.
alpha + Lions!
ranger builds scales so shit with gears so i dont see how is alpha op
Did I miss the memo where 1000 hp = 8000 hp, but only if you own a Kaoms? WTF build has 800% increased life?

The items that you mention are good, yes. For some people, they think they are the best. Absolutely none of the items you listed are best in slot. Only rares at this point can do that, unless you have a very specific build.

Powerful uniques and interesting uniques are fun.

FYI, GGG doesn't have a problem nerfing things, and I assume they will continue to do so when terribly out of balance situations arise.

But what would happen to the owners of these uniques? Then they just wasted 25-40 exalts on these?I would be pissed for sure lol.

This is not true at all. As a ranger you can get a damage bonus on gloves and belts, which caster type builds cannot. In addition, you can get damage on 2 rings and your amulet. This can add up to a total of 144% increased WED and 16% IAS.

I am fairly certain their stance is to nerf future versions of said item, and leave old ones as they are. You may think this solution makes things worse between haves and havenots, but the old ones do eventually faze themselves out as people die in hardcore or quit softcore.

Even if they nerf the old versions that are theoretically unbalancing in nature, I would be fine with that even if it effected me.

I play the game to have fun and have fun while I am playing. Decisions have been made in the past that destroyed characters that I enjoyed. I just make new characters. With new skills and differing buffs/nerfs happening on a weekly basis, it only really makes sense to roll with the punches and give feedback of your experiences.
