I just leave this here... omniscience guess
" This ammy will most help Ele Hit to enter the meta. Oh wait, Ele Hit is already seen as good. And now it gets even more help. Cool cool... |

" Ele hit? Sure. But as everyone and their grandmother are scaling "all" of their attacks to work with Trinity, because it's damn strong, I think this item will help a lot of builds. And as they nerfed several attack-related penetration nodes on the tree last league, this item will see a lot of use - depending on rarity, of course. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

trinity is extremely limited on who or what can use that gem...
moreover if you were implying this - trinity and omniscience is a bad combo. trinity has a mediocre more multiplier that is salvaged by penetration. omniscience will give so much pen that the value of pen will have high diminishing return and thus devalue the bang for the buck on using trinity |

" Vaal Lightning strike says swiggity swooty. Maybe also HoWA stackers and divine ire fans. Sadly I think while it's really good, like REALLY good for tri-element builds, it's not good enough to save Rebuke of the Vaal. :( [19:36]#Mirror_stacking_clown: try smoke ganja every day for 10 years and do memory game

" Dude. I understand the downside to a LIFE build. But I just illustrated an ES build, and INT doesn't have an extreme impact on an ES build, especially if it's an ES build built around Survival Instinct and raw ES. I've been building hybrid builds forever, and generally can pull in 7-8k EHP without really investing in STR or significant amounts of INT. How much EHP do a lot of rangers playing Toxic Rain have? From what I've seen, most only play with about 4-5k EHP. They just keep moving. I've even seen a SRS /Skele (this is off topic for self ele pen I know) do every single end game content with only 2990 Life/990 ES/1000 Mana. Aurora Aegis with this is going to be just stupid. Period. It's going to kill things so fast that in most cases, the EHP hit won't matter. And, having 90% Resist all is basically drastically increasing your EHP. Most players play 76-80% Resist all at best or have 1 resist at 90. 90% will literally be like having 50% more EHP for most builds, because the difference between 80% and 100% reduced damage is cut in half. On top of that, Flasks. |

" We don't know how it drops yet so who knows. If it's just tied to a specific boss, the price will go down. Only global Chase items maintain prices. |
|
" At the time I was reading it as Omni converting the total attributes into a sum. It makes more sense that each attribute is taken separately. |
|
" It really doesn't have serious downsides at all. People keep arguing that it's going to reduce base Life and base ES because of losing attributes, but significant EHP can be found without them, and builds that can use this will kill so fast it doesn't matter. It'll still have more EHP than a Toxic rain build or a remote summoner. I can push 8000 EHP on a Queen's Hunger without any serious investment in Int or STR as is. I use Queen's Hunger on an elemental build too for the block mod/bone offering. -300% Ele Penetration will literally take the build I'm using right now and turn it into a 12 mil dps build. I'd go from about 8k EHP to 7k. I'll just get Jun Attribute mods on all gear, with an attribute % belt, and link in 1-2 attribute % nodes on the passive tree, and viola. |

Jun attributes count only as one modifier regarding Omniscience (eg +30 to Strength and Dexterity translate as +30 to Omniscience).
Note that what you suggest is precisely what most people agree on: you can get a large boost with limited investment. However, you'll be far from 300% penetration with just that, probably closer to 100-120%. Actively trying to stack attributes on all slots won't provide enough bonuses to justify Omniscience over regular stackers, but adding attributes here and there is enough to make this amulet BiS for many builds. |

" No you see you are working in absolutes where you think there isn't a downside because you are working to a fixed value you are happy with for life/ES Not everybody has the same criteria, if you have 2k int you are losing 400% ES that is a drawback, just because you don't value ES over value X doesn't mean it isn't a drawback. Its fine to be like i'm a glass cannon player so I prefer to stack offence after nominal value of defences however that shouldn't be conflated with it being the only way. Personal choice is good and interesting perspectives are where some of the best builds come from but don't represent it as the only answer some of us play in HC still. Losing attribute bonuses is a serious downside, many players will be willing to accept that for some juicy damage like always. |
