Let's Help Design the Diamond supporters Uniques

The Path of Exile twitter says that there were at least 5 diamond supporters. It would be fun to throw down some ideas for uniques if you could design your own. Serious or not.... personally, I don't really do serious so here are a couple of my ideas.

The Corduroys, unique Pants. Unequippable since there are no leg armor in PoE. Possibly with polka dots or some terrible color like purple. Then of course a tagline about them belonging to a long lost templar.

Since they are unequipable, they could come with some OP stats. req lvl 3, 10,000 armor, evasion and shield. increases fire damage as you walk.

Mandals, unique footwear. Synergizes with socks. On equip, friend and foe alike runs in fear.

The Birds Nest: Plate helm, with a nest at the top. if you have a kiwi, it will jump up and nest there for a bit every now and then.

10 000 to armour is tooooo much)

Shoes that auto cast wall of fire. >.>!

Blood Channelers
Clasped Gloves
40% less damage (yes, all damage you deal)
Cast socketed spells when you hit with attacks
10% increased attack speed

Slice through flesh and intricate rituals.

...or at least, I'd put something like this in here if I had the chance.

Varelyn's Lament
Ornate Mask
Gain whatever status ailments you inflict (except death, of course)
+25% to all elemental resistances
+75% increased critical chance when on low life
+100% increased energy shield and evasion

Empathy in Wraeclast is dangerous.

I have a feeling those gloves would be a little on the strong side.. :P

Oh, quite possibly. The idea is that you still spend mana (or health, with Blood Magic) on the spells cast this way, though, and the -40% damage multiplier means you're not dealing that much more damage per swing - possibly less, depending on which spell(s) you pick.

That said: double strike ice nova spam would be hilarious.

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you mean't 40% damage mitigation from all incoming attacks.

My bad.

Oh wow that's awesome! Already at least 5!

What a fun experience that would be getting to design with them.

I'd like to see boots with an EXTRA speed boost on activating any skill that gives a speed boost. :)

That's just the thing. I'm already worried about the balance. Path of Exile is, or should be, reputed for its uncanny item balance. I have an idea, and *I* think it's sort of cool, but it'll probably have to be wrung through several hundred times by the devs to even come close to possible.

I'm hoping to make a cursed weapon. Not really *all that*, but then there was Stormbringer, and wasn't that all sorts of badass? :)

Ha! Yeah, that would be overpowered. No, if it was 40% incoming damage reduction, all the other mods would be drawbacks. I'll edit my first post to see if I can make it more clear whose damage is being reduced.
