CAN'T CHANGE COLOR OF SLOTS ON A MIRRORED OBJECT ?!?!

The mirror orb is so rare because it's a legitimate way to dupe an item, the downside is that you can't alter it.

I think a good use for the currency is either.

a: Trading off the original item since you now have an item that is so good you no longer have a desire to change it

or

b: You have a 'nearly perfect item', and want to risk making it a little bit better by making it 'perfect', like you have a 6-socket property/stat roll with 4 links, and you want to aim for a 6 link - mirror the 4 link one then start blasting away with fusing orbs, that way if you end up with only 2 linked at the end of it all - you still got your original that you can keep around until you get the other one perfect.

How can you tell it is mirrored? Is there a way?

Good question here, because it would be terrible if you bought an almost perfect item, then want to alter it and you find out that it is mirrored.

Well I don't see it in this pic, but ingame at the bottom of the description it says Mirrored.

Also, the item's picture should be a mirror image of the original.

The idea of trading the copy for the original probably wouldn't go so well for the original's owner. He has an elite item that can be copied over and over, and he can charge people whatever he wants (plus their Mirror) for a copy. Images cannot be copied with a Mirror. He would be trading away his lucrative item for one that can't be modified or copied ever again.

Ok, but what is the point in being so restrictive ?
I mean, sockets colors can be changed before the copy and it is not expansive.

But you'd end up doing it twice, and with up to 6 sockets that could be quite difficult.

It seems this thread has found a bug on the website where the "Mirrored" phrase doesn't show up. I'll get it fixed.

Care to enlighten what happens when the source item is changed after being Mirrored? Does that just work like ordinary?

Sure, but not really expansive due to the low cost of chromatics.
I agree that the mirror is a powerfull item, but i think the total unalterability of mirrrored object is too mmuch !
First u have to find BOTH of the objects (the mirror and the object you want to clone) ! The probability is so low that it is self-sufficient to ensure a non proliferation of end game items. Second, changing sockets is a joke regarding the time u need to answer the first need.

Hi Chris !
Thanks for the support.
First, I would like to say that you (GGG) are doing an amazing job. This game is just the better and the most addictive H&S I've played so far.

Second, concerning the mirror :
As I explained before, i think that blocking all the alterabilities of the mirrored object is too much.
If a player is able to find a mirror and the object he would like to clone, he will be able to buy/find 400 or so chromatics to obtain the sockets he want on the copy and on the source object. It will not represent a real difficulty.

Thanks for the reading and please, pardon my english, it has been a long time i didn't practice :) !
