I was happy when I finally got my lioneyes paws with +1 to gems, but this is over the top!

Nicely done sir!

Was mindblown btw when I noticed that empower gets the +1 to gems as well, for some reason I though it would not work on those gems(because empower does not work for enhance etc.)

Why do you say we?

That's because of the wording of the gems themselves rather than some inherent limitation of the +1 to gems mod. Enhance, Empower and Co all say that they affect active skill gems but they, themselves, are supports hence they can't affect each other.

Also, my baby isn't even remotely close to Jake's Acuity's league but I still love it down to the depths of my blackened, shrivelled excuse for a heart:



Mostly because I lucksacked into the implicit on my first corrupt. There's no way I could afford to keep trying on new pairs. :P

Congrats Jake! I'm very jelly.

Now I'd just like GGG to add a feature in 1.2 with one of the masters that lets us apply Divine orbs to corrupted items..... (hint hint GGG)

LMAO. sort of goes against the very idea of vaal orb/corruption don't you think ?

might as well ask for exalts to be allowed to add another affix to a corrupted item. and we should be allowed to re-roll the colors too. and as long as we're going down this path, might as well allow re-linking.

oh wait, what was the point of corruption again ?

Then again, it never hurts to aks !

"LMAO. sort of goes against the very idea of vaal orb/corruption don't you think ?"

No, not really.

"might as well ask for exalts to be allowed to add another affix to a corrupted item. and we should be allowed to re-roll the colors too. and as long as we're going down this path, might as well allow re-linking."

Sure, why not.

They are already letting you change corrupted items in various ways with forsaken masters. Hell, it's not unrealistic to imagine that all of your listed ideas are already implemented for the coming expansion.

"oh wait, what was the point of corruption again ?"

It used to be to "to create unmodifiable items in exchange for potentially beneficial corruptions". Which is probably what you think, and if this were the case your post would make a lot more sense. However, now they are 'to make it harder to modify aspects of corrupted items in exchange for potentially beneficial corruptions'. Granted, we really don't know everything that will be modifiable at this point. I think that links will be modifiable (or was it socket colors?) but I'm way too lazy to find the source and figure out which aspects will be modifiable post-corruption.

"Then again, it never hurts to aks !"

Yup.

my post makes perfect sense.

once you allow corrupted items to be modified you no longer need the idea of a corrupted item.

the whole point was a choice: i can continue to be able to modify the item, OR i can get a spiffy mod that is not available otherwise. you actually state this, but then say my post doesn't make senes, so i are confused.

once i can get a corrupted mod AND continue to modify the item, there's no point in having this idea of "corrupted".

"corrupted" mods go into the affix pool (although i guess they overwrite the implicit affix, right ?) and vaal orbs go away. or i guess your point is that vaal orbs stay, allow the implicit affix modification, and now the items can be further modified.

or something like that.

whatever. i like the current set-up. want a corrupted mod ? great- once you get it you're done.

i didn't know the masters were going to allow modification of corrupted items. not really very excited about that idea. still love the idea of the masters however.

Nice rainbows!

(almost as nice as mine hehe ;) )







@above: yeah it's interesting to see how far they'll take the masters. They've said definitely recoloring and (i believe?) socketing changes of corrupted items will happen, I think Divining is probably stretching it but you never know.

It's definitely a big change to the "this item can never be modified again" initial approach.

Yup they're awesome, Empower and Enhance are just so incredibly powerful when you scale them up with +1 gems.

I'm reaallly glad that I got lucky on the Acuity and it took me less pairs than my lionpaws did back in Ambush... (or poor Fyndel, who did like 120 Lionpaws and never hit - ended up buying a pair.)
