Why is Kaom's Heart so unique?

Why is Kaom's Heart so unique?

It is the only chest without sockets. Therefore, crafting sockets and links do not apply.
One gets a godly item on one roll of the dice; by just getting the item to drop.
No need to spend heaps of currency trying to get the best chest in the game.

Suggestion.
Have its HP depend on the number of UNSOCKETABLE sockets and the number of links it has.
For example, each socket is worth 50 HP, and links a number of HP too.
Haven't done the math, but I'm sure you get the gist.

Come on GGG, fix this broken part of the game.

Too hard.

Won't be implemented.

Uniques CANT even roll one additonal affix/prefix.

All uniques right now are basically the same if you have a few divines.

Uniques are just stupid atm.

It'll be way more fun to find uniques such as andavrius and have it roll an additional line

or find a weird unique like *insert armour unique* and make it roll a passive skill node on the skill tree.

Right now, uniques such as kaoms and shavs are BORING because there are no alternatives.
The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG
There's a lot of awesome uniques in the game that are well made and fun without being OP.

Kaoms is not one of them.

Kaom's heart is actually an interesting unique, given the fact that it has a great boost combined with a great drawback.. 1000 hp vs 6 links is an interesting choice to make, and certain builds that don't need the 6 links from their armor will use it..

I don't see what's wrong. As for being OP, that is part of the game. Whatever buffs or nerfs are made, people will find a way to farm effectively, so the argument of "OP" won't work.. Now, if you are talking about balance, that's a whole different story, but Kaom's is a balanced item already, as explained in the first paragraph.

QED, don't fix something that is not broken.
Kaoms is not interesting to me at all. Either you already have a 6L and as a result might not want to use Kaoms, OR you don't have a 6L and using Kaoms is a completely obvious and boring choice.

1000 HP is overpowered.

its unique because it made GGG rebalanced the entire tree to reduce ppls hp and get more one shot mechanics.

thats the only reason >.<

another fruitless thread. please look to anarchy and ask yourself if being forced into cancerous CI/shavs spork is an enjoyable arpg gaming experience.

Why such threads appears?
Kaom's gives you flat 1000 HP, passive tree gives you (let's say) 200% increased health
Should i continue? :D
Remember, suffering is convenient.
That is why many people prefer it.
Happiness requires effort.
Shavronne is far more overpowered than Kaom.
