Why do you hate infernal mantle ?
|
Infernal Mantle is far from being a bad item.
I'm having a ton of fun blowing stuff up with it, on my Eldritch Battery Flame-blaster Scion. it's a great unique. but it was among the first to break the unwritten "one unique per base" rule, and do it in perhaps the most infamous way. Infernal Mantle will forever be "Troll Mantle". forever the item that makes people go "OH MY GOD A SHA.... AH FUCK...".

"Infernal Mantle was not even one of the first uniques to double up on the same base. Pairs that existed prior to the introduction of Infernal Mantle (0.11.1) include: Lori's Lantern (0.10.8) + Thief's Torment Atziri's Foible (0.10.7b) + Sidhebreath Pillar of the Caged God (0.10.5) + Searing Touch Tabula Rasa (0.10.5) + Thousand Ribbons Nycta's Lantern (0.10.3) + Supreme Truth Le Heup of All (0.10.2) + Blackheart Carnage Heart (0.9.11g) + Astramentis Chin Sol + Darkscorn (both 0.9.11g) Infernal Mantle is only notorious because of how strong Shavronne's and low life builds were. | |

Incinerate build loves it! :D

" "incinerate build" == "waste a perfectly good 6-link by stacking MF and leech, and ending up supporting Incinerate with only one gem" ? Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat

" What if it works? The unique itself supplies some valuable damage already. |
|
" works? probably. especially because main gem is 20/20. points on the "fun and creative" scale? below zero. but I'm not blaming the player - I'm blaming the game. the game where just going full leech and Magic Find, is probably better than using your one-of-a-kind 6-link, to stack damage and special effects gems and fucking go apeshit crazy.

" It really depends on what you want to do with the build. If you want to farm bosses, MF gems are a valid choice every time, I think. If you go for best kill speed to improve your EXP gain, you go different gems, I'd say. Maybe get a MF culling skill at best. Probably are MF culling skills better anyway but I don't really know about anything meta. :P Last edited by Nightmare90#4217 on Jun 10, 2014, 1:14:01 PM

" The character is currently set up for MF purposes to farm bosses. Normally I'd have Incinerate + Life Leech + Mana Leech + LMP + Added Chaos + Fire Penetration and it's a good balance of tank and clear-speed. EDIT: and I'd remove the leeches, but there aren't enough passives to support leech from elemental damage, full stop. Stormcalling 24/7. Last edited by Casual_Boops#5913 on Jun 10, 2014, 3:03:37 PM
