Why aren't rare armours easier to 6l?

It’s in standard... Of course it’s hard to sell.

Well it was created a few weeks into beast league. I wasn't able to sell it for as much as it cost to assemble it, I had a ton of currency at the time so I was able to make luxury items like that. Just 6ling a belly would have been a better decision for profit tho

You're asking wrong question.

"Why 6-linking rare body armours isnt worth your fusings, even if they got really GREAT rolls, due to unique chests being too powerful?" - that's correct question.

And the answer is there - GGG just made unique chests too powerful, no one wants to use rare chests with mere 120 HP and some resists, when you can get 2-3x more HP from Belly, or tons of other super-strong bonuses from other unique body armours.

I think it used to be this way, but since Elder and Shaper items exist its even again.
I just crafted a chest with +crit to attacks. 100+ life and 10% phys taken as fire. 6-linking it will be well worth it for me, since I can't get those mods on uniques.

Yeah but it's far harder to sell custom rare 6ls

Everyone here agrees that rare armours should have a higher chance of 6l then they currently do, that's all I'm saying

Now you're putting words in peoples mouths. A 6 link is a 6link, it is always rare and powerful. If the rare chest pieces arent worth 6 linking, then the problem is the power level of rares. If there was more competition in the chest slot, Kaoms/Loreweave/Belly wouldnt be so expensive, and you would see people wearing more than the same 6 armors.

I HAVE a good loreweave on. this is blatant powercreep. i would LOVE if the temple rare i found was worth 6linking (110 life, 9% life, 2 resists) But look at this nonsense



THIS IS A DUMB ITEM AND SHOULD NOT EXIST. why can it have up to 60 life, plus 12 more from the str roll? plus extra energy shield? Half of me hopes that when i get my next corruption room, i brick the thing.

It's a bullshit. If you need a "budget" 6-link rare chest, you can just buy a corrupted 6-link from lab, or get white 6-link via divination cards, and then roll it with chaos/essence. Something like this - .

And if you want an endgame body armour (worth 10+ exalted), you'll have to get a REALLY good body armour and 6-link it. Now ask yourself, why anyone should choose a rare armour, if there exist such beasts as Loreweave, Belly, etc.

Well what's the point of an armour like Ambu's charge, since everything costs the same to 6l, there is a clear right or wrong, so Abu's that supposed to be budget armour, is now a skin transfer, because a rand 6l is better then a 5l abu's

Or you can risk it all 6ling something like this, that you cant resell

One of the other posters mentioned it but the real issue is unique chests are much better than a majority of rares, giving very useful or niche bonuses.

Loreweave gives you 25% more life/ES vs elemental damage effectively and also has a whole set of useful stats for a variety of builds.

QoTF gives you 100% move speed, 500 life kaoms, Inpulsa's clears every mob in your map with one button press etc

The only rares that can compete are shaper/elder bases with bonus crit and flat life % which is a similar rarity to getting a merciless/flaring/celebration weapon lol its just far too unlikely to be built around. If you get one great you 6l it afterwards but on the whole rares just don't compete in the chest slot.

I don't feel too bad about this though uniques need their roles to make itemization interesting and there are many categories where there just aren't any uniques that can remotely compete later on or if they are they are specific drops (starforge/voidforge for swords, disfavour, there isn't a mace etc)

You can buy rare armor 6led with 30c which is insanely cheap (I haven't played POE since 2.0 so my point of view might be wrong).

I love 3.3
