whats the point of VP when acuity exists?
VP is usually taken when playing super damage builds to survive reflect like crit builds.
acuity is 100% leech efficient and leeches mana too, and saves lots nodes. is there any point in VP? its extremely dissapointing to see an item essentially have a version of a keystone superior to the passive tree version in every way, especially since the passive tree is what is meant to make PoE special, not the gear. Either VP needs a buff or the gloves need a nerf. These gloves are against the fundamentals of this game, far worse for gameplay than angelic wings are for graphics.

Vaal pact is for those who cant pay 250+ exalts for the gloves. Which is around 99% of the people.

" I think your argument is invalid since there are many items in the game which has the keystone passive in the tree. The only thing I can think of such glove exist with such overpower potential is due to improper implementation. I Love This Game Now, Being a Summoner Hardly Associated with Desync ♫

Yeah, we should cut out the keystone.
This way people wanting instant leech will be forced to beat Atziri or pay shittons of exalts. This would add some great incentive to an otherwise unappreciated end-game boss fight. Last edited by Nightmare90#4217 on May 16, 2014, 6:34:58 AM

" It has a BETTER version of the keystone Most crit builds can sustain 90+ crit chance so Acuity is applying 100% leech at every hit... more than double the effectiveness of the real VP. It also leeches mana too!! Dear GGG, please make Mac version

" Hey OP hopefully this clears it up for you: Acuity = 250 exalts VP = free Acuity = affordable by 0.001% of players VP = available for all players Acuity = only accessible from Uber Atziri (I can't even kill normal Atziri) VP = accessible for all players Acuity = leeches 100% life and mana instantly but incredibly expensive VP = leeches 60% and free Acuity = much better than VP, much more expensive VP = much worse than acuity, free Try to understand that not all players in this game can afford acuity. I've been playing regularly since Jan 2013 and I am far from being able to afford acuity. Can I borrow your palms? My two palms aren't deep enough to place my face in D3 sucks Last edited by Sprongley#6908 on May 16, 2014, 7:20:00 AM

in addition, not just crit builds need instant leech.
Everybody seems to forget that instant leech is implemented on crit strike only. items shop: 364086 ign: [ICU]missuse if you like to HLD, add me inactive in game atm, PM me if you need something. Last edited by missuse#0603 on May 16, 2014, 7:21:27 AM
