"Not exciting uniques"

To quote Matt Lighty "A unique item just has to be unique"

Wall of brambles needs to stay especially given the changes to armour.
it is the only item that reflects damage in that way, literally build enabling
Why not instead just give us proper 3d art for the bramblejack/wall of brambles?

Crystal vault is a great armour piece that gives some very strong defensive layers that you simply can't get elsewhere

The oak is a competitor for many other shields when running Rf builds as it's the only shield that can give you 6% life regen as well as 150life, yes it's defenses are garbage but that's the price to pay.

Sunspite being removed will massively affect the hotheaded jewel self ignite builds that struggle seriously to get a way to self ignite otherwise.


Ezomyte hold giving stun immunity for the price of your head slot seems fair to me.

Deidbellow is the only item to give attack speed to you and allies when warcry, why remove that?

Also Panquatzlatzli is a solid item for spell builds especially with battlemage, why remove it, it's one of the more fun uniques and the upgrade to quecholli feels good, blowing up the screen with funny interactions is always a laugh.


I actually think that prophecy needs to go but I am worried you're getting rid of some of the character of the game doing it this way, not to mention some items will be harder to source and linking items until 4.0 will become even more painful(literally) than ever.
It feels like you're going to put even more pressure on the div cards to compensate and that will further dilute the already bloated div card pool.

The fated system was a good way to take pressure off the normal unique pool but judging by your latest decisions with boss loot and target farming it seems you're doing this on purpose at this point. looking at that oppressor...

this forum is only to let players know what GGG is "going" to do. no matter if you like it or not. your opinions really don't matter. look when they nerfed harvest. the announcement came out and in a short amount of time, thousands of posts poured in with disapproval and it still got nerfed to the ground. GGG "thinks" they know what players want. all they do is listen to the .1% cry when casual players start getting good endgame gear and nerf it to the ground. when that same .1% cries about a nerf, they make changes.

normal, casual players simply do not matter as Chris had mentioned that they never expect most new players to ever get out of white maps and they are making the game reflect exactly that.

new players show up, buy a couple stash tabs, play for a while, have trouble with progression mostly due to the piss poor and toxic trade system and complicated builds. casual players have a real life and can't play poe like a job. GGG wants people to dedicate every waking hour to playing. then, new players leave. but not before GGG gets some of their money. now, multiply that by however many new players come and go = profit for GGG.

let's not forget the login queue bypass that streamers got not long ago till it was noticed in one of the streams and the casual players had to wait while streamers and special players got a head start.

all GGG cares about... money, money, and more money.
