#1 DPS Caster Shield Finished!!!

Only fear is 3.0 bringing new mods, but new mods would probably be a buff to ES more so than to life, so that's unlikely to be a bad thing for ES gear IMO.

do you think so? I think it's unlikely es is going to get buffed, given the current state of es dominance. I think es rolls will be unchanged, but the tree might see some nerfs (like 15% more to 15% increased after CI). If anything, life will get a buff. Maybe %increased life as a master craft, or higher flat life rolls.

Also, I am open to discussion about what pricing should be, but as Ahfack notes, I spent an enormous amount on the base, then crafting it to where it is. If I charge 40 ex fees, I will never break even. never. I am largely basing my fee on what I see other BiS mirror fees charging. Rayamn charges 100 for rune spell, and this is an improvement over that for every caster build. Add to that that I'd like to keep crafting it until I have an imprint with t1 int on it in 3.0, and it hasn't even started paying itself off yet. I also think if someone can afford a mirror and would pay a 50 ex fee for a t2 roll, they would probably opt to pay the additional 25-50 for a t1 roll. At least I would.

I do think these discussions are helpful though. At the very least, it keeps my pricing transparent. I'm not just trying to gouge people. Someday, if the craft does manage to pay itself off (after many, many, many copies are made) I would lower the fee, but I dont see that happening soon.

My wording was bad. What I meant was that any additional mod ranges are likely to impact ES positively more so than life. Because of this, I doubt there will be new ES mods, which probably means BiS ES gear is safer than BiS life gear.

amazing shield, and i doubt there will be better mods for es next update.

Well, gz on your legacy shield.

Yes that is exactly how I interpret the patch as well. I hope the owner can get some sales before it is gone.

dido, there won't be legacy es armor, that is simply too ridiculous when you consider how many other legacy items are in this game, this will still be the best es shield however there won't be as much demand for it
