Maaaaybe if they buff Brass Dome's other stats ? :) (You take no extra damage from crits)

That’s a lot of no hp/Es/enchant/res tho

Nice rpg additions to the game. Oh wait... This isnot rpg anymore...

How familiar are you with an item, called brass dome. If you are not, dont bother with this keystone.

Also you know that you only activate this when you put that endgame jewel into that specific slot, and you have to take that keystone, right? Its like nobody forces you to take crimson dance, resolute technique, iron reflex, etc and you are bitching about that one thing. Calm down, srsly, calm the f down. If you have no idea how to make it good, dont use it. You would probably even have to pay a ton of chaos to even activate it.

you will be far better off with a reduced extra crit damage taken node/item and a full life chestpiece than taking brass dome with this. Helm and chest offer the most life at some point your just increasing the chances you'll die to non-crit.

The drawback isn't even really worth building around, crits are rare unless you are running +crit maps and even then you still build around getting hit on them occasionally regardless of if the hit is lucky or not. Not that anything should ever really hit you with this keystone anyway :p

PoE heavily punishes glass canons, i don't see why anyone would take this thing for just moar damage over lab enchants and a good crafted headpiece.

PoE heavily punishes tanks as well though. The optimal current meta build is one that invests solely in primary defenses ( life or ES) and spends the rest on dps.

GGG hates tanks way more than glass cannons. the history of nerfs vs defense have been.....extreme

My thoughts exactly.
"Without chest armor" it would be a cool combo with BoR.
As it is?
Unless there is something we do not know, this node this total trash.

Can you still use a disabled helmet and get the MTX to show for it? IF not this is going to look horrible for players with mtx armor sets.

Interesting that the new supporter packs with 2 awesome head mtx were released before this information.

Just another example of how GGG take the piss out of their customers.

The most OP offensive based keystone since beta :D
