Is Bronn's Lithe completely dead?

The sad thing is, a simple 60-80 life on that instead of movement speed and it would be MUCH more popular. I could see it being used on a trickster though, since it'd give some ES thanks to Escape Artist. It'd end up being a 300ish ES piece. Nothing groundbreaking, but certainly better than nothing.

LOL

But for real, my stream chat has trolled me about using that chest in many other builds, so I just had to laugh about it.

As most others in the thread have stated, its just missing out on so many defensive properties that we lack in the build (as do many other builds) and it doesn't add better offense than a Loreweave. So there is no incentive to use it.

Just because an item is labeled one way, doesnt mean its the best option for said label.

No life, no resistances, and only a small damage increase for maybe two or three skills in the game. It's also pure evasion, making it harder to get colors for a melee build.

Meanwhile Loreweave has 80% max res and quite a substantial damage increase to many builds (especially the most meta ones like reave/bf) and even has a bit of life on it.

The choice is pretty clear.

10% movement speed is not nothing. Also, lol @ small damage increase. For Cyclone, it’s huge. We are talking about 17% MORE. The lack of defense not withstanding, it brings heat to the table and offers some nice QOL to boot.

They should do what they did with Ashrend with all unique body armours,put a little life and resist on them.Just that bit of life and a resist can make a 'unique' armour much more appealling even if a min maxer would not touch it.I think life+resist are good item balancing stats,put on the unique modifiers then use life+resist to balance them with rare armours+other uniques armours with tier level in mind(some items are meant to be better than others).

Interesting new unique chest mod idea:

-multiplies (blank) defensive rolls on one(specific)-to-all item slots,
this could be life, res, es, armor, eva.
