Introducing the Unique Annulment Orb
|
The idea is simple. New orb for crafting (the GGG way) that drops from a new boss or as a rare currency depending on how powerful you think it is.
The orb would annul a random affix of a unique item. Positive affixes that make the item unique would have a very high chance to be removed (90%) while affixes that are positive would have a moderate chance to be removed (9%) and affixes that are negative would have a very low chance to be removed (1%). Uniques that do not have negative affixes would have a 90% chance to remove the affix that make the item unique and 10% chance to remove a non-unique affix. After removing an affix the unique becomes craftable via the crafting bench. So you can add an affix of your choice. So for example applying it on a 90% the 500 life affix would be removed 9% the fire damage affix would be removed 1% the has no sockets affix would be removed. Uniques have it tough nowadays, time to give them some love. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

Great idea. Obviously the values should be adjusted in distinctive PoE Way™
Chance to remove the last mod will be around 1.2e-7 and estimated orb cost lay within 10-15 exa range. Problem: impostor syndrome
Solution: nerf everything Result: depressing mess |

How do you read "Ignited Enemies Burn (50-65)% slower" in Emberwake? Because, depending on what your build cares more about (ignite duration VS ignite DPS), the feeling may vary.

This is significantly stronger than the harvest crafts they’re removing and only benefits players that can afford the expense and time investment of annuling hundreds or thousands of uniques.
Bringer of rain, abyssus, prism guardian, void battery, that belt that gives soul eater during flask effect, most of the unique unset rings, that spectre jewel that makes them temporary, the 1 socket heist helm that gives +8 levels/40% quality and so on become problematic immediately and all future unique items have to be designed with the annul in mind. Rather than expand the future design space for the game, this would limit it by removing the ability to balance future items by adding downsides. |

" Emberwake Ruby Ring Requires Level 16 +(20-30)% to Fire Resistance (30-40)% increased Fire Damage (5-10)% increased Cast Speed 10% chance to Ignite Ignited Enemies Burn (50-65)% slower You can inflict an additional Ignite on an Enemy Copied from the wiki. I think it would be: 90% You can additional Ignite is removed (Unique positive affix) 1% Ignited Enemies burn slower (can't think of this as a positive, might be wrong) 9% one of the rest of the mods gets removed I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league.

This would be absurdly strong which means yeah they'll probably do something like this in a year or two.

" I'd say this is right up GGG's alley if it benefits only the most dedicated players. Bringer of rain can equip a chest now after spendin 100 of these orbs. Wow gimme Abyssus without downside? Heck yea. Finally hc viable after a serious investment. Prism guardian? What is that never used it. Belt that gives soul eater? Heck yea. Soul eater is cool. We could use a second variation of a headhunter. Anyway, balance is always an afterthought in this game as proven by giving us harvest and then deleting it. Also the uniques that are being used according to poe ninja are ones without downsides, therefore the ones that do have one aren't really well balanced anyway.

" See, that's the point. You can't think of it as a positive thing because you are looking at the mere boost on DPS you will get from it. It's reasonable, eh. I mean, you equip an item and you expect it to make your character better, otherwise you would not do it at all - why changing something that's already good. And since "goodness" in this game is now "efficiency", and "efficiency" means "high movSpd and high DPS", you expect Emberwake to give a boost to one of those. However, a Ignite DoT Build won't equip Emberwake at all, since it seriously nerf the overall DPS. However, your build might just need the character to be Ignited. Perhaps you are... > A Fire Trap build that wants to pile up as much "adds x-x damage against ignited enemy" as possible > a Taming user, who wants to get the best of its bonus for each Elemental Ailment on the enemy (double ignites would double that bonus) > A character with Wave of Conviction Combustion CoH Flammability, which then proceeds to blast out a fireRes-nerfing ignited enemy with a flurry of Flame Surges, or a non-fire EH/Wild Strike > A character that needs to squeeze for as long as possible the effects of its Cinderswallow Urn or Gang's Momentum > A character that wants to get the most defence from its Pyroshock Clasm True, they are not meta, they are barely relevant, but they do are those builds that, perhaps, a player wants to test out that would argue that having a longer, albeit weaker, ignition on an enemy is a good thing.

" Ok, so what's your point? That this orb not only will give more items for endgame players to chase but also improve the items of people that view negatives as positive and vice versa? What an amazing orb indeed. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it.
