This is the biggest slap to the face yet.

GGG just have to wait for the slap in their faces when they release new supporter packs and no one will buy them

I think the helmet is ok and i dont know how good that bleed effect on the axe isr BUT those gloves are a joke. They are not just simply BiS for every built that can crit they would even be BiS if rares could get double the stats as they can now. I mean you cant even compare the power of those gloves to former legacy uniques because they are on a whole other lvl of power.
I mean they would not be that strong without the former leech changes(wich are ok for me) and maybe ggg is planning to change leech again and this could nerf the gloves indirectly i dont know.

But the point is that such "godmode" items cant be good for the game because everyone is just going for them and making builts that get the most out of those items. This reduces built diversity because every built that cant use such items to its fullest is just crap.

Im not saying atziri drops shouldnt be strong because they are extremly hard to get but the strength of those gloves is just too much. I mean why not just make an uber uber atziri that drops an item that makes you immune to damage? I mean why not its extremly hard to aquire after all.

That's nonsense.

1. these items are out of reach for almost every player
2. therefor they can not build around them
3. therefor they have to play other builds
4. therefor build diversity is not affected

Maybe one or two so-called Guides will show up where someone plays a char with these gloves (and does skip vaal pact) and is superstrong, but thats pretty much the same as those "out of reach builds" that are already common in this forum (40000000 DpS flickerstrike, 1000000 HP Tank etc).

Yes but all the strongest endgame builts will plan on getting those items sometime to complete their built because whithout said items their built is just half as strong. Arent you planning your builts to the very endgame?

As i said before:
Why not make an uber uber atziri that drop gloves that make you immortal? Dont you see wherd this is going to? Everyone who wants to max his character will need those specific items because they are too powerfull to leave other options. And this takes away from the game i think because all completed builts have the same gear.

Sure I plan till the end.

But if an item is 100% out of reach for me (like legacy kaom's or these gloves), I will not take it into consideration when building my skilltree.

If I somehow got these gloves, I would maybe respec or reroll a char that takes full advantage, but as this will not happen, it is just something theoretical.

for me its just like this:

i dont get the gloves and cant reach even half the strenght i could reach with them no matter what other gear i equip.

or i manage to get them somehow and end up with one of the same few builts that are op but uninterresting because discoverrd to the fullest. Nothing special anymore just another guy with the gloves and a built that synergizes with them.


thats how i feel and i think im not the only one. Such plain overpowered items make the game much more uninterresting for me.

Finally, SET ITEMS!

These item were only put into the game so that when a few get out there they get nerfed into legacy status for the RMTers

The items don't concern me a bit. I'll never see them or interact with them. It's the design and what it says about the designers that has my rankles up. That will affect me. It's their choices that bother me... not the outcome of those choices. They'll have to one-up these items in their next patch (if we get that far).
