Kaom's heart has been overnerfed

I never thought i'd see myself making this post, but i actually think kaom's heart has been nerfed too hard, reflected by it's value. It should be an upper item.

I personally think it would be better if it had 650-750 hp instead of 500.

I have to agree. I went from always wanting to find or chance one to not caring if one ever drops at all. I would take just about any 6 link upper tier chest piece over Koams in it's current condition. a 25% nerf would have been perfect. Half was too much for an armor that has zero links.

BUT BUT deh fire dmg yo!

It just needs another mod, like "gems in this item are supported by level 99 item quantity." Satisfies the IIQ nerf camp too; win win.

;D

I would agree with this thread.

No sockets is much to severe a penalty for the life increase (outside of hardcore).

I would as someone else suggested, much rather have a 6L item than a Koams any day of the week. Gem sockets offer so much more, so much. Koams and Shavronne's Wrappings are two items (imo) that did not need the nerf they received.

Koams for it's incredible penalty, Shavronne because you lowered the ES, which has absolutely nothing to do with why it's a desirable item. 80 base ES is a ton of ES loss, but everyone still uses it anyway. Should have just left it alone.

It's fine.

Now it's strictly intended to be used by players with 2-handers/bows, who already have 5-6L.
Although that fire damage is a real bullshit mod.


As for the 80 ES with the Shavs, of course everyone still uses it, because that nerf was ridiculous, on top of being one of the most broken items in the game.
You can easily get that ES on a damn ring...

I think it would be better if it had 1000hp. Oh well.

Koams heart should not have been nerfed, life is far inferior to ES at ultra end game stages.
Ill list the number of end game life based builds that can ideally use koams : 2
Heck, the same can be said about auxium , tfist and rainbows.

CWDT and soon, vaal gems make sockets so much more vauable than pre 1.0.

meanwhile shavs lost a pitiful 88 ES and enables the strongest offensive archetype in the game.

GGG please unerf koams so I have a reason to play a life based character on the new league.

Kaom's is still very strong defensively for any life orientated build. It could probably do with a buff but first...

HYRRI'S IRE PLEASE

Shavronne, one of the greatest magicians of her time had one of the most powerful unique robes in existence
Kaom, the strongest warrior alive gets a chest with 5 times more life than any other chest.
Hyrri, the leader of the finest archers to walk Wraeclast gets... 25% increased chill duration and Acrobatics, a mod which any evasion character will already have anyway?

Nobody, NOBODY uses Hyrri's Ire for anything but the skin transfer.
