The Vertex - Aura use

Is it intended that The Vertex also reduces the reservation of auras, or does GGG intend to fix this?

Yeah, no. Looks like GGG hired a bunch of 9-year-olds to balance the game.

The shitstorm an item so rare caused is stunning

This is unintended and will be fixed.

But then it will be totally useless and worthless :P to be frank.

Perhaps make a compromise?

Give it aura reservation reduction, but just not as much.

of course 50% is broken, but removing it entirely puts the item on par with vendor trash.

Perhaps 10% ?

+1 gems/50% global mana reduction cost(with global i mean, the reduction happens at the end)/ top ES value with evasion on-top = vendor trash.

mind = blown

+1 Gems, Meh
Evasion and Energy Shield, the only remaining good thing...but then i can find much more use from a yellow item with much more functionality and bonuses :p

If you remove the mana cost reduction, i'll vendor it and not even regret doing so.

So basically you are saying it's a good unique that follows the GGG design philosophy where a rare is still far superior and the unique's are build enabling?

Ok, i agree.

No, im saying the only noticeable thing remaining would be the shield and evasion, but i can get plenty of that elsewhere, and basic yellow items offer +2 to gems and far greater bonuses to resistances, life, mana and other things...

So what im in fact saying is, it's vendor trash if the mana reduction is removed. I wouldnt barely even call it a rare.
