The most expensive item in poe history,
by far, without any competition,
is a item that makes players NOT having to press their flasks.

If you think that mageblood's strength is not needing to flask piano, then you're an imbecile.

I’m enjoying this thread mostly because half the people posting don’t understand why mageblood is so overpowered.

Also, remember: an item is worth what someone is willing to buy. ALWAYS. So its a sellers dream.

I understand why users think it is. Still, a Good Stygian belt with;

-Elemental Damage
-Spell Damage or Elemental Attack Damage
-1 Type Elemental Damage
-% Damage
-Flask Effect
-Life

will outdo Mageblood in Damage even with all the effects, have room for some Defense and more EHP, or more damage yet, and can perpetually keep flasks up.

The only 2 things Mageblood can do that a raw damage belt can't: A little more attack speed, and Increased Armour Stacked on top of raw Armour+ effect (that slightly eeks out over a crafted belt, unless the belt has 540 Armour and a Jewel with 220 Armor)

The mentioned belt is hard to obtain, but it's still 1/10th the price of Mageblood.

What "A good stygian belt is as good as mageblood"?
Are you out of your mind?

Lets assume you have mageblood and some flask nodes on tree to bring you to 120% flask effectiveness. Enkindling orbs, rolled flasks ect.

With this mageblood can give you:

- Crit capped with a single flask and brittle from gear/tree. That means you do not need to invest anything else into crit. You can go full tank and still be full crit. Thats insane, totaly OP and broken.

- A single bismuth flaks caps all you res, its over 140% all res with 120% effectiveness. That means ZERO RES ON ANY GEAR needed. Thats completly broken and insane. It opens up so much possibilites for gearing.

- Permanent 119% movementspeed, insane. ... and you still have boots too.

- A attack/cast speed rolled Sulphur flasks gives you 88% damage and 37% increased attack/cast speed.

- Insane armour numbers are possible with that belt, we are talking way over a million armour if you want too.

- 44% less damage taken of an element for every ele flask you use. You can go close to elemental immune with this belt.

How can you even think that "A good stygian can compete with that".

Show me that stygian that can give:

Fully capped crit from only the belt with brittle.
Fully elemental resist capped. 143% all ele res to be exact.
88% increased damage and 37% attack/cast speed.
119% increased movement speed (+ boots)

Its completly broken, its the most broken item ever released in PoE.

Also you cant build around flasks without mage blood because outside of pathfinder you cant rely on permanently having flasks up.

mageblood is not expensive because it bypasses having to press flasks, instilling orbs already do that

its expensive because it grants PERMANENT uptime with NO exceptions
its expensive because it allows you to do this with ENKINDLING ORB flask effect

this is what makes the belt extremely powerful, not having to not press flasks, because that is already trivial to set up for almost no cost at all

This only strengthens my point:
Players want this belt so much because they are too lazy to keep pressing flasks at the right place, and at the right time.
They are too lazy to learn a boss fight. Other league mechanics.
"Just give me all the buffs ALL the time" feelsgodman.

You dont get it, like many others in this tread. Its expensive because its permanent uptime, only with 100% guaranteed permanent uptime you can build around it. It also makes it possible to use enkindling orbs and the belt itself has a massive boost to flask effect on it.

The permanent uptime and the insane boost to flask effectiveness is what makes it crazy expensive.

You cant build around a bismuth flask for example without 100% guaranteed permanent uptime.
