Kaom's heart has been overnerfed

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.

Yes! I've been banging this drum for over a year now.
Hyrri is an important person, but her unique, despite being on a high level armor, is absolutely garbage.

EDIT: Gender!

I think Hyrri is a female

She is.

Well fuck me sideways. I've been playing for years and never knew that!

I could have sworn it was a man by the old art of Hyrri standing next to Kaom (the one where Hyrri's face was a bundle of green light and Kaom's head was on fire)...

And the armour isn't the same as on the picture.
On the picture, her right arm is "armoured", and in the game, it's left.

Which results armoured part going through shields, and the shoulder part goes through helmets, looks horrible.

I'd skin it if it actually looked how it was "supposed" to look.


Or maybe she's "mirrored" on the picture...

For those saying 80 ES is small, it is not. It is a bloody massive amount.

My character has 630 intellect.

630/5 = 126% ES increase.

When added to your lump sum base, 80 BASE ES is a ton.

For example, using a level 20 Discipline, on a base ES of 2135, my ES goes to 3669.
That is an increase of 1534 ES from an additional 333 base.

That is a 460% increase in the power of Discipline.

WIth another 80 ES on my torso, I could probably get another 3-500 total ES. That's a lot, and only goes higher the more intellect you have, and higher base pool.

Shavs nerf was not small. Learn to math ;)

Although that fire damage is a real bullshit mod.

Well it's pretty amazing for EA builds. Equivalent of 3.5 good fire passives.

You don't even need a 2nd 5/6 link so it's easily BiS.

Kaom's could use some life regen.
Currently a lightning coil is better in the majority of situations. Against big physical hits (which are vastly more dangerous than the majority of elemental) you can mitigate about as much damage PER HIT as kaom's gives you TOTAL life if you're running a reasonable amount of armor. This is helped by the fact that lightning coil splits your damage before armor mitigation, meaning your armor is more effective against these hits than normal, as well as lightning coil still having a good amount of life on it and a very nice amount of eva/ar for what it does.


Having life regen on the chest would help this situation without making your life pool excessively large.

300-500 total ES is almost nothing, the item is still broken.
That nerf was small even for ST nerf.

While Kaom's lost 1500+ total life.

Say again?
