I really think the increased damage scaling is a little off. I would prefer per 300ev/ar. 400 is too much.

voted!
Disappointed. Bad votes. IMO.
I like the flavour text for Perseverance the most, but I don't like the name. oh well I'm still voting for it.
We are a legion for we are many. No one shall stand in the way of the exiles of wraeclast.

should have named it The Ziggy D with the text saying " Gooday ZiggyD Heah. "
Don't get butthurt over those liking Unyielding Wind...

Unyielding Wind has a grammatical error in the flavor text that makes it read awkwardly every time I go over it. Also: "my son". Make this short and sweet, and it'd be pretty good. "Be as the wind: swift enough to evade, but strong enough to destroy" or something.

The "both uncrowned" clause in King's Subjugation sounds a little awkward to me, but it's not bad. I don't know wtf it's a reference to in context of the belt and its mods, though.

The word "force" ruins Hero's Valour, to me. The name is decent, but "no answer to the force" sounds like "hmm, what can I add that rhymes?" It's not a natural construction.

Perseverance is really solid. The text fits, and it sounds like something that might actually be a maxim in Wraeclast.

(Daresso's Spite and Daresso's Prudence have decent flavor text, especially the latter -- the former sounds good, but does it fit the belt? -- but sort of generic-ish names. Perseverance wins handily in both categories anyway, IMO.)

But who's gonna use this item? Does anyone ever give up slots and affixes in favor of stun? Eva/Armor belt is a great idea, but I have literally never made use of stun, and I've played since open beta (albeit as a total noob, mostly).

Voted for King's Subjugation.

I'm with you on this (apart from the grammatical error, don't see it, english is not my first language).
the flow of the text made me ultimately vote for "perseverance". but I'd love it if the item name was "daresso's perseverance" or something to give it a little more punch.

most of my character ends up as physical DPS, so I'm mostly in belt with increased damage, but I'd like to have that with armor and evasion. might be a good way for a ranger with bow to get a little armor. might also work with shadow (well, the only shadow I made is a total wreck, maybe because his armor and evasion is so low)
Everytime I yank a jawbone from a skull, then ram it in an eyesocket, I know I'm buildin' a better future !
