Anyone use Greed's Embrace Armour??

Hi guys,

My piece dropped last night but darn it so many downsides. Please if anyone link their gears so I can get a idea for my mf summoner.
Thanks,
Andy

Ps sorry grammar sucks im typing on my phone

Up

yes and no,


1 it is a chest armor , the armor slot in which most peoples skills are slotted , suppose you use a 5l, you would need to waste 50 - 150 fusing plus god knows how many jewelers for ... a mf item designed to get you more items.

to be honest that fact alone is why no one should use that chest piece, you would need to spend an arm and a leg just to get your gems right..


2 its str based , most good mf builds are int based.. this means alot of wasted chromes.

then you have its crappy mods .

there are much better mf items on far less important gear slots.

I would never ever use such a waste of space unless someone highered me as a culler.

even then i would be operating at a loss for a week or two for such small benefits


sell it too some fool who doesn't know better.

If you min-max, you would use it.

But I guess that's pretty much it. Rolling 6L on a non-useful super specialised chest piece is...a waste of resources?

Not to mention summoners like vis mortis quite a bit. Low-lifes prefer shavs and solaris lorica, eldritch prefers MoM, Melees like theri lightning coils and belly of the beasts...

None of the above matters.

The only problem with this chest is that it reduced movement speed by 20%, and for some builds that's simply unacceptable. Other builds, like those that use Leap Slam (attack speed based, not movement) don't care about this only real downside.

If you use things like Leap Slam to move around and don't require another chest can and should use this for the IIQ/IIR, which is considerable. But anyone based on movement speed wouldn't use it in their right minds.

it does if it is not your main chest, or if you arent str based but i guess that wouldn't matter too some one with infinite time


its hardly worth it if you waste 20 exa rolling it.

most of the other mf items side step this by being on slots that dont cost alot to roll, rolling 4ls is a dirt cheap process

rolling 5l - 6ls are not and the difference in kill time between 4l and 5l / 6l can more than make up for the frankly piddly amount of mf on that chest armor.


40 -50 iir and 10 -15 iiq when you already have 200 - 400% rarity and 30 - 50 iiq is probably not worth the extra few minutes / the extra 100 - 1000 fusing / jewlers you use on that chest.

ofcourse if you do a build that doesn't give a toss about links then... it would be a question of why not at that point i guess.

even my mf summoner leap slams so i doubt the ms is a factor ever. (except in town when your slow ass has to get from the portal to the vendor ... those seconds seem to go on for ever).

but again if you are a culler , it is kind of mandatory since people expect you to have the best mf possible.

first time I've seen or heard of this armor, I just checked
xyz for the mods and prices. the mods look very bad, and
I decided I'm not even remotely interested in it. (i am an mf guy)

that being said, xyz price averages several exalts for NO LINKED
6 sockets.

there are quite a few listed where it appears the owner put
the effort into linking it: ie there are a lot of 6s 5l and 6s 4l
for sale for several exalts.

this armors market price is exalt range according to most of
poe xyz. check for yourself.

I'm pretty damned surprised by this.

All you have to do is take the chest off. Then put it back on when the boss is down to 50% in anticipation of the cull. Then once the loot sprays all over the place, take it off again.

It's also nice for level 80 melee characters who are stuck with low level maps. Just pop this baby on and leap slam around dunes to hurry up and build up more currency and maps.

I think it's a sly little chest; a round peg that people are trying to fit into a square slot.

But that takes up 2*3 space in your inventory.

Some cullers are more dedicated than others =p
