This is the biggest slap to the face yet.

The drawback to these items is the sheer amount of work you have to do to get them.

The only problem I have with these things is the nerfs/creation of legacies of items that were nowhere near as good. Was totally unnecessary if they are introducing items like this.

Isn't that same for all hard to get uniques in the end?
If the gloves are Invasion exclusive I'll be quite dissapointed.

I doubt these items were found in invasion ;)

Fun fact! Every single of these items + the 4 uber atziri pieces is on the list of items needed for the unique challenge this set of leagues. GGG really raisin the bar.

Well most of the new ones are level 75 in level requirement. Pretty sure balancing a level 50 item the same as a 75 one that drops from a "hard to even get to" boss would be stupid.
Perhaps we will soon get another tier of mods for item?

What?

the gloves should be "can only leech life on critical strike, leech applies instantly"

Instant leech on critical strike without having to have vaal pact is amazingly godly for a crit user, yeah? I mean that is seriously BiS.

it just reads leech, not life leech.... I think its going to put vaal pact into a coffin and bury it behind the shed at this point since if I'm reading it right it covers both mana and life leech... something mana has never had. I foresee a LOT of leeching crit based (with CoC gems + MoM/EB) builds appearing everywhere at this point.

I think you are right.

BEHOLD! The next Legacy Item has arrived!

The worst part being they nerfed the leech mechanic (and vaal pact) itself just for this item during the patch they added it... and will make it a legacy before many people get it. Then after they nerf future drops we'll see those few people with these legacies essentially god mode the game from that point on while those with the new versions won't under these new leech mechanics and the newly nerfed items.

Sorry hard to get? Why?

They are not bind on pickup or something like that. Easy to get in a matter of seconds .... some clicks at trade window.

Easy to get for every credit card warrior, just like every item in the game. And no some hundred dollars is not "hard to get" for people with well payed jobs in first world.

Balance by rarity fuels RMT but doesnt make getting items "hard".

Someone gets it, Yes this is the slap in the face, sad you have to literally write it out like this for people to see it.

If they are so easy to get in a matter of seconds, where is yours?

But no, you're right. RMT exists, so lets all just throw our hands up and settle for mediocre items, dropped from Dominus runs, until we all wither and die.

Edit: Ah, I can see this is going to be yet another fruitful, productive discussion about legacy items in standard league. Have fun with that.
