Replica Abyssus looks pretty awesome but...

I think that 50% increased elemental damage taken is probably insane
30-40% would be better i think

also it has three elemental damage rolls flat

I think it would be better to have 3 versions with one being fire one cold and the other lightning and then also give them 50% increased fire damage taken, cold damage taken and lightning damage taken respectively.

The current version only seems to be usable by bow or wanders that stack elemental damage and have an aura support but not by your generic melee guy

Melee life matters

you know good and well GGG don't want melee doing anything.

Although you do make a good point on the 50% increased elemental damage. That is a bit much...

they exspact a higher % reduction with resis than with phy dmg and we dont know how good of a roll that 50% is

it could just be the max roll
the normal abyssus jas a 40-50% roll

idk
maybe xibaqua

Replica Abyssus seems strange, I do not see any use for that unique now. Original Abyssus is probably better in conversion build still.

Even if you push Ele res to 90%, the negative is too high.
Even if you Divine Flesh, the negative is still too high

Maybe for immune build.

Why not have 1 million different versions of everything?
I mean...what's the point of a 'unique' anyways?

A few more years and every mod will be available on everything via whatever enchantment or looting path you have to take....

that flat damage is nothing compared to the downside
elemental damage (mostly from spells) is the most dangerous shit in the endgame and is very hard to mitigate compared to physical damage
even with divine flesh
this replica abyssus is useless
unless they change the downside to 20% i cant see how this is usable
but lets be real, they will not, so this unique will remain garbage till the end of the world
99% of uniques in the game are useless so nothing new here

I think this helm might become a staple for ele Bow builds looking for more damage especially windripper mf and wanders gonna use it as well. The item design goes in the clearspeed/damage direction.

I dont think this Abyssus replica was designed with melee in mind even with xibaqaua divine flesh 90% chaos res i would not use it with melee.

The 50% ele damage is probably the max roll like the normal abyssus it will be 40-50% i guess.
