Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Shavronne's Wrappings is an ES facebreaker - Forum

Build enabling uniques were supposed to be common, why isn't this item as common as facebreaker? Or are non-shavronne's low life ES builds even nearly as effective as builds that do use shavronne's? Because to me, it seems as if it's almost the same as if trying to run an unarmed build without facebreaker.

How many low life builds without shav's were there at the top, again? Also, how does this belong to gameplay help? Do I need to make a new thread once I gather enough information on how low-life sucks donkey d***s without shavronne's?

Welcome to the Gameplay help forums. Unfortunately your post didn't meet the quality requirement of GGG to be in the General Discussion forum. Thus, it has been moved. If you have any questions, post them in Gameplay Help, where nobody will see it ever.

bump. I would like to see how a mod can classify this as gameplay help request, when this is about item comparisons.	Posted by Idioticus#7813 on Jul 17, 2013, 10:06:18 AM Quote this Post
BEHOLD! " pneuma wrote: " Budget_player_cadet wrote: Honestly, I think the biggest issue with Shavronne's isn't the demand. It's the supply. You guys remember how build-required uniques were supposed to be common? Well, you need Shavronne's Wrappings to run a low-life build into maps, because otherwise the very first alchemist you encounter will one-shot you. And it's not like Low-Life is some spectacularly odd, niche build, either - there are multiple uniques and a keystone catering specifically for it. But effectively no low-life build is even remotely viable past A3 Merc without this Unique. Making it almost impossible to get was the mistake here. Tune down RF Spork, maybe nerf the ES roll, and make it drop as often as, say, Facebreakers. Agreed. Requiring an incredibly expensive and rare unique for a build to function is problematic. At least with crap like Soul Taker, 1h+shield/dw builds work without it. Low life in maps is pretty much dead in the water without Shavronne's or an equivalent amount of rare chaos resist/es gear.
