what ever happened to uniques having drawbacks to them?

The game became balanced around godly gear, not average gear.

I still think they should have drawbacks of some sort. If an item is x bonus on low life should also have like drains x life per sec, or reserved a percent of hp. The unlucky mod is the most stupid IMO.. would be overpowered if it was the only mod on the item. It could be switched to lucky and make that the drawback... that ring is too good as is
the thunderfists are retarded to for the record.. it isn't like gloves are normally a big source of ES.

Too bad none of the long coat armours will get past the character model's knee...

Btw I see no drawback in the gloves. No drawback at all. Even attack speed is good, if you use leapslam with a caster (instead of lightning warp).

This thread got unstickied?

Gotta say i'm shocked at how OP these gloves are.

Pretty much perfectly designed for the lightning based ranged classes. I wonder what that Diamond Supporter plays! Basically you give up 80 life to use these. High level players can pick up the resistances elsewhere.

fucks sake this happens to every god damn unqiue that is slightly good. They are NOT OP.

Think first, then bitch. The only OP unique that needs a nerf or removal is kaoms, because it is a no-brainer endgame item for any build that uses 2h weapons, and any build will turn to 2h if they find a kaoms.

95% sure the gloves are not a Diamond Unique. The two chest armors are Zahndethus's (sp? gotta go to work, can't double check), and the Diamond Newsletter mentioned a ring from TakenNotGranted.

Think first.

I'll explain how I think they are OP again and you can tell me your opinion on why they arn't.

1. Gloves are a 5 link.
2. Gloves make any build that uses lightning/shock twice as effective in stacking shock stacks. When we compare to what other elements give and especially what physical damage gives (er nothing) then these gloves offer alot of dps increase from the shock stacks alone. And it makes the damage needed to shock at all much less and despite that.....
3. The gloves give 1-100 lightning damage. Just to compare, thats like what 20 less lightning max damage than you'd find on a 2 handed weapon?
4. The gloves only downside is no life and lack of resistances. BUT - resistances can be easily found elsewhere so can pretty much forget that downside. So you lose 70-80 life equiping these.
5. They pretty much just made any amazing attack speed/ele damage rare gloves obsolete.

Your turn.
