DOEDRES’S TENURE VELVET GLOVES Bug
|
Doedre's Tenure is literally free damage for Tempest Shield, and works quite well with Molten Shell (with the damage bonus, you probably only need 1 cast anyways). For the more direct Spells, it's often not much of a DPS increase, but it does reduce Mana consumption.
Uniques have trade-offs. The intent is that they're not the de facto best item for a slot. Rares usually beat Uniques in slots, unless looking at specific circumstances. Kaom's Heart is a good example. If you are only looking for Life, it's flat-out the best option. However, Kaom's does literally nothing else. It has one other modifier, and that one prevents sockets. If you also want a good chunk of Armor Rating and some Resists from your Body armor, Kaom's Heart will be blow out of the water by a random Rare. |

" Uniques are often quite useful items for levelling new characters, or designing builds around. It's often quite nice to have low-level uniques drop in the endgame, because the likelihood you're going to find them while you're actually still low-level isn't very high. This lets you build up a stash of cool stuff for accelerating the progress of new characters (which the game strongly encourages players to make). The most powerful items will usually be very-well-rolled rares though. Uniques tend to be more quirky things that have interesting effects. These gloves are perhaps somewhat less interesting than usual, I'd say, but no other pair of gloves in the game at the moment is going to give you that kind of increased spell damage. I'm not entirely sure how to make up for the fact that they kill your cast speed in an endgame build though. (You're a lot more likely to have high spell damage already, while you really have to try hard to get a lot of cast speed in the passive tree.)
