Why won't POE add something new to the equipables, like trinkets?

Man this is strange, was actually thinking of how they could add new item slots earlier today. However I was thinking more along the lines of trinket types. But I'd get down with splitting the chest slot (that is supposed to be a full set of armor) into chest and pants. Cloak too.

Shoulder armor.
I want shoulder armor.

Flasks are permanent

not really a joke though I agree with your idea it sounds great to me, I hate playing potion piano!

because then everything would have to be rebalanced.

it's fairly easy to get resist capped with proper rolls. having 2 extra slots that can roll resist would make it TRIVIAL. the same is true for other stats like accuracy and crit chance.

more evasion, ES, crit multi, would just powercreep characters for no reason.

Cluster jewels are the closest thing to a new equipable, expanding your passive tree beyond the base. actual new gear slots have no benefit other than making people stronger for free.


not really an issue considering you can always just nerf resistances overall,
maybe say -20% more at maps.
so now you need a lil bit more.

more hp? no problem why not just lil bit buff monsters.

It's very possible something is in the works for armor/gear with the changes to socketing in PoE2.

The gems will contain the sockets and links, not the gear, which opens the door for all kinds of things.


i think you still socket the active gems into your gear, it's just the support gems that get stored in the active gems.

Well... because it's not a way to kill you.
That is the only thing they focus on.

Who cares about power or fun when you can find new and hopefully dreadful or straight up boring ways of killing players (interest).
