Poison, Summon and Charge-based uniques

Just want to say, there is not a single item, or even mod, to support degeneration damage (like posion arrow)- diamond supporter, think about it!

&


There will be more - just inspiration.

Oh those are really cool and look similar to the way other diamond supporters have pitched their uniques. Are you using a certain program to do that?

Some interesting ideas there, but I think +150% minion attack speed is excessive. Tempus Skull could maybe use a little rethinking, I think it's a bit too hard to balance in its current state. What about:

+100% minion attack speed
-70% minion physical damage

This would be an interesting combination that promotes the use of +elemental damage and on hit effects (such as blind or stun) with minions.

And... adding 40-50 chaos damage on that kris seems a bit overkill (what happens if someone stacks tons of attack speed?). That's maybe too much chaos damage for PVP. Curse immunity also seems a bit much, like you're overpowering the weapon. I think we need some curse-immunity stuff, but it doesn't seem appropriate. I'd personally suggest this:

Necromantic Kris
+(20-30) to all attributes
+10-20 chaos damage
+(30-60) to energy shield
+(150-200) to maximum mana
Minion gems socketed into this item are supported by level 17 Added Chaos Damage

I was thinking about a poison arrow bow the other day:

+(8-15)% chaos resistance

+6% evasion rating
Skills socketed into this weapon are supported by level 10 elemental proliferation
-30% fire weapon damage

An end-game maul that has some ups and downsides, but could be comparable to a moderately good rare -- provided you can get 6L on it

Poison lasts twice as long on you
Poison deals 25% less damage

Basically, the "anti-chaos" potion. Though it's quite difficult to get a hold of compared to the other resistance flasks, and comes with its own innate downside.

A ring for aura stackers - who don't mind that their auras are really only helping their teammates/minions. Also basically an anti-curse ring, with its own drawback - your own buffs are far less effective.

The reduction is additive, so if you have two of these rings, you can be buffed/debuffed, but the buffs/debuffs have no effect on your character.
