Rip amulets?

No worries, think of talisman as derpy unique amulets: You probably have one really useful aspect that you can't get with a rare (+1 zombie) and 1 or 2 middle of the road rolls on useful affixes you can use and the rest are trash stats. I think in quite a few cases people will decide that 8 zombies will do just fine if they can wear a decent amulet that caps their resists or Sidhebreath instead.

Or you find a talisman with 20% increased physical damage! Awesome, right? Well, not if you realize that that might save you only 2 skill points that you now need to invest into res and life because those rolls are shit on your talisman.

The chance that you will find a talisman that is better than any rare or unique amulet is quite slim. Then again, you might find a stupid white talisman on Normal Twilight Strand that is BIS for you because it gives you +3 to max fire res and you want to go Righteous Fire.

My guess is that if amulet prices should indeed drop ring prices will go up instead. Every ring with a decent life roll and triple res will be worth a bit more now. =3

99% of taismans will be bad and there will be less talismans than amulets

Making talismans corrupted so players can't change them isn't big thing. Small amount of rare amulets is viable for exalts/blessed/divines. It just further reduce amount of rare talismans becasue you cant alch them.

I doubt there will be white and blue talismans better than rare amulets.

Talismans are just another way to get better gear. And they are going to be expensive because there will be high demand for good ones. So often it will be better to buy good rare amulet than expensive talisman.

What doesn't change fact, that it seems that you will in most cases want to use talisman over amulet. What is quite fail.


Players always want to use better gear, and will probably almost always want to use good talisman over good amulet. And yet not everyone run in legacy kaom or legacy shavs.

Talismans will not kill amulets.


I think you are right.

Resulting in:

Very good amulets are less desirable (not worth selling), because every richy rich will try to buy only good talisman.



yeah totally, 6xt1 legacy crit multi 20 all stat onyx amulets are going to be trash and not worth selling because everyone wants some rag tag "this is how it dropped" talisman right?

come off it.



Ad1. Who is talking about Scrubcore here ? Are talismans even going to be droppable in SC ?
w/e back to the point.

We dont know all the implicits of the talismans, and if one had for example :

"You take 30% of physical damage as fire damage",

then yea, it would be worth 10 legacy mirror worthy amulets, with correct rolls.

It's all mistery till we know all the implicits.

You guys sure are putting a lot of faith into rngeesus. Think about all the rare jewels you have found. How many have been gg without crafting? Think about all the rare amulets you've found. How many have been gg without crafting?

My guess is that 99% of these talismen will not be better than a well rolled amulet. Plus you'd give up the opportunity of using a unique amulet that might be desireable for your build (like Eye of Chayula on a CI build).

Also, we don't even know if Talisman's will ever drop outside talisman's leagues.

If we only get 3 months to get them, they will be very few and far between, and decent ones will be kept.
take a moment to imagine a perfect piece of Elreon Jewelry. -8 mana, 70+ life, resistances, maybe crit

How expensive is that? Many, many exalts. Very few exist tbh.

Good talismans will be about that rare. Maybe rarer. My guess is that two types of people will be using them - the insanely rich, or the people who specifically need that stat as a build enabler and are willing to sacrifice ammy stats for it.

So, apparently GGG did not want to implement a new inventory slot for talismans and decided to make talismans as amulets. Since talismans have more powerful implicit compared to amulets, this makes amulets less powerful as an end game gear. Of course it might take time to get a decent talisman to replace a good amulet since talismans are all corrupted but from my perspective when you hit an end game 85-90+ lvl talismans will always be more desirable and expensive to obtain as an end game gear compared to an amulet. So rip amulets in meta?



in order for amulets to RIP, the community will have to farm enough for each and everyone of our current and future builds.


and this will only apply to Standard and Hardcore league. Ascendancy challenge leagues will most likely not have a direct access to these talismans.



GET EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER TO FARM TALISMANS
I need more purple titles
After 4 years, you guys still don't get that Talismans will be massively underwhelming and that they will be nowhere close to good rare ammies?

All these expansions, re-balances, new leagues and we are starving for a new inventory slot. This is a loot driven game. We are long overdue for an additional gear slot.

Is there a reason why a talisman will be strictly better than a regular corrupted (vaal orb) amulet?
my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes

People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it.
