Gameplay Help and Discussion - Unique Item List - 300 of 419 - Forum

" Xenest wrote: Yes. This is why you are seeing OP unqiues being nerfed. I believe GGG said themselves, they don't want unique items to be endgame. That's for rares. Uniques are suppose to be build enablers/enhancers with upsides and downsides. And no, a lack of a stat is not a downside, as some people believe. Just imagine the belt not having the negative resistance. There's pretty much no reason for anyone to NOT be using the belt. And if everyone is using it because its "BIS", it's not unique anymore.. just some OP belt worth 50 exalts that only rich people can afford. I wouldn't use it even if it had no -40 resistance and -10 max resistances because even at that point, it wouldn't be competitive with a top tier rare. For life based builds , the Armour is the only thing thats interesting and even that is already offset by missing wed and resistances.

The drawbacks on that belt are HUGE. -10 to max res means 40% more elemental damage. I can see it only used with Saffell's Frame in some sort of spellblock-based build. But probably the creator had something in mind IGN: Rosalind_ Last edited by Jack89 on Oct 25, 2013, 7:00:44 PM	Posted by Jack89 on Oct 25, 2013, 7:00:30 PM Quote this Post

If you don't need resistances in the belt slot then that belt has far more defense than any rare. The life Regen is pretty impressive.

If you don't need resistances in the belt slot then that belt has far more defense than any rare. The life Regen is pretty impressive. The life regen is equivalent to a single 1% life regen node for 6000 life builds which is impressive but not game breaking. it also has less life than a leather belt with fecund affix and effectively -70 all res if you have a modest tri resist belt. the 5000 armour doesnt 'enable' anything. everyone needs resistances on belt, if you dont, you probably itemized badly elsewhere and sacrificed potential net stat gains the exception being items like auxiom which have stats rares cant roll.

I tip my hat to the Diamond / Exalted Creators that go out of their way to make interesting Uniques like this belt and the Axe (if that was a Diamond also ?) instead of making simply overpowered ones. I hope GGG has a harder policy in the future on the OP uniques so we don't have to deal with legacy stuff (like the retard Ele Belt).	Posted by Saviouress on Oct 25, 2013, 7:53:54 PM Quote this Post
I think -10 max might be a little much. But then I see the rest of the mods and remember why that belt is incredible.

Well when you put it that way, nothing is competitive with a top tier rare. Let's be realistic here. If you're going to compare it to a top rolled perfect rare belt of course the rare will be better (overall). I think you're greatly underestimating the flat negative physical damage taken, have you ever used AA? It like a free lvl 10 AA without even have AA on. It makes little fast annoying hits not hurt at all, and huge monstrous hits not 1hko you. IGN: Athulua	Posted by Xenest on Oct 25, 2013, 9:01:32 PM Quote this Post

For those interested, I've posted on the wiki min/max values for a few of the new uniques. Dyadus Headhunter Cloak of Defiance Berek's Grip Berek's Pass I'll get to the rest in the next few days.	Posted by FaceLicker on Oct 25, 2013, 9:48:29 PM Quote this Post
