This is the biggest slap to the face yet.

So..... Is this an admittance that VP was game breaking ? Or rather, a weaker version of VP was game breaking.

Vaal Pact minus all of it's drawbacks that also applies to mana? That saves you passive point and comes on a crazy pair of gloves? The closest thing these gloves have to a downside is you leech on crit, and only critters were taking VP anyway. This takes an already powerful ability and breaks it beyond sanity.

If you're a critical build, you didn't use regen. Pointless to invest in large enough amounts to matter in end game. Flasks are also meh.

Not saying they're not strong, but the irony of how people are reacting to these items is pretty interesting.

That being said, I do agree with charan on the matter of "raid boss", etc. And I do intend on following up on the matter.

realy...? i run two 95% critbuilds and both of them use regen. lowlife makes this mandatory.

Those uniques have exactly 0 drawbacks, am I right?

no resistances (lol)

I have capped resists with hardly any resist on my individual pieces. Most resist I have is 24 all res on a single piece, with a 20~30 single res on about 3 pieces. I'm overcapped by about 40~50% on most resists other than chaos in Merciless.

No resists isn't an acceptable drawback when resists are extremely easy to cap in this game.

I think that's why he added "(lol)" after "no resistances".

So where are the negatives?

GGG, no resistances is not a negative. Most of the current uniques don't have resistances, and they're not half as overpowered as these. Keep in mind that the only people getting these items will be those with tri-45% res gear that they've bought or traded for anyway.

Also, breaking the leech in the game only to introduce these gloves on the same patch is just insane. Either these were designed in two hours with hardly a thought, or you guys need to hire some people from the community to offer feedback before you implement new items... because I lately get the impression you don't really know how your game plays to begin with.

I love them<3

I thought these pictures were fake, then i saw Chris' comment on Leddit

What the fuk were GGG thinking when they let these through the design mill!?!!

HURP DURP LETS NERF SOMETHING BROKEN, THEN REINTRODUCE IT IN AN EVEN MORE BROKEN FORM FOR SO ONLY RMT KIDS WITH 300 EX CAN USE IT

this is pretty much what its starting to feel like...

but GGG does not get any profit from RMT because all of that is done by third party sites which have no affiliation to GGG...

so either GGG owns RMT sites and this is a huge conspiracy... or something just isnt right...

maybe Chris Wilson got really drunk and pretended he was jay wilson while he was making this patch :)

do all you guys need the best items in the game to make your build work?

im pretty sure with those gloves i could make a character that is unkillable outside of one shots - literally.

and i could probably put enough work into it where one shots become extremely rare if at all possible. i think im going to start putting this together for the 0.0000002% chance i ever even SEE these gloves, yet alone own a pair.

its funny though just how the games economy works. the rich get richer all the time. im not knocking that by any means, but it almost certainly means if you're not that 1% than you won't experience these items ever. so whats the fastest and easiest way to get to that point? RMT.

sad, is all. for items like this to exist, if they do, i'd prefer they were account bound to be honest.

Why didn't you make it before?

i did, mostly. with vaal pact its essentially the same, which i made a char based completely around which is ALMOST unkillable except one shots. but i did absolutely facetank poorjoy's asylum, but i went dual wield instead of 1h/shield which would have made me a lot tankier vs spell dmg, the only thing i could possibly die to prepatch.

but with those gloves im sure it wouldn't be hard. a CI crit claw build with upwards of like 40% life leech (instant on crits) and since it applies mana leech instantly on crits also there is no need for soul taker and thus can be sustainable at high attack speeds. all you have to do is eliminate crit multiplier to a point where you won't 1 shot yourself on reflect and you're golden.

im shortly going to be doing the same thing in this patch, respecing my duelist to be a bloodseeker/shield user with upwards of 47% life leech (probably overkill), which with the bloodseeker applies instantly but you still have mana to deal with. i've yet to figure out how im going to solve that problem.

Possibly you need all 4 mortal fragments (grief, hate, etc)

To potentially make one of these uniques at random?
