Guardians of the Void - Unique Items

In Prophecy we get Reach and Voidheart who aren't hard to buy/farm and now they show worthless uniqs which drop from T16 boss. Its look like it be again staying mid-tier maps and farm becaouse it be pointless spending currency going further if rest uniqs form T16/Shaper will be at same level like this three

That Brain Rattler gave me some crazy idea of a low level CwDT-Arc, or some other spell with high shock chance, for a pseudo-Temp Chains that also amps your damage.

Awww yeah, its clobbering time.

GGG please consider hiring a completely new item design & balance team. Lately they have been either ridiculously broken or quite garbage. And none of them were particularly interesting...

hmm I am not an expert in making builds, but I fail to see any real power to sacrifice ratio going on... especially from end game bosses/uniques. For example.. with the ring you get extra projectile.. but spells that need projectiles still need a link for gmp or maybe lmp.. would be great if that ring could provide 3-4 spell projectiles.. so that you dont need to use LMP/GMP with some kind of downside.. it already lacks life/es and resists.. I am still sure there will be builds that would make a great use of these items.. I just fail to see them.

Threw this tree together and I think the mace might be viable, not the strongest build, but viable. Should work for EQ but not sure about support gems except P2L and lightning pen. You end up with 11%(penetration from tree)+37%(lightning pen. support)+44%(blasphemy conductivity)=92% penetration and 16% MORE on top of that from Augury of Penitence(afaik it does not stack with penetration?).



You could also spec into 2 curses for conductivity+elemental weakness/enfeeble/temp chains. Would probably need some mana reservation nodes or heretics vail since this is CI and discipline is mandatory.
You could also skip ZO and go for Inevitable Judgement ascendany point.

What do you guys think?

I think why in the name of god would anyone use a melee weapon that causes monsters to flee while he could buy a Marohi Erqi for only a few chaos orbs?

Par for the course these days, the initial reaction is positive until you actually stop to think about it and realize how bad it is. The only potential here I see is maybe a full conversion to lightening EQ build with that mace...That's about it.

Looks interesting I suppose. like many here I kinda hoped these end game bosses would have more impactful drops, will hold out and see what the others have too offer first though.

I can't really see any reason to call those 'unique' as so many many other items in POE. It's only the colour that defines those items as 'unique'. Probably I might not be open minded enough or don't see the reason behind creating more and more B-rated uniques while everyone is after AAA - stuff.

Sad, those are rewards for t16 maps/bosses. Lets hope the missing ones are great. or at least the shaper got something build - enabeling.

edit: Well, at least one item was useful in the past, so let's think positive and say the good things are still to come.
