It’s also a fairly low Enchant level , too. What about a 5% chance to cast level 20 enchant?
This is an item BORN to give -enemy poison resist.

Venaliter with your help, here’s the first attempt at improving these items. For Lava Gout, giving it higher proc chance for enchant will make it more consistent and Radament’s Sphere would benefit from -enemy poison resist as you mentioned…

Rather similar to the changes I suggested up thread. Though you give +1 more to Bone skills, compared to mine which keeps the +2 to Necromancer Skills.
Oooh, I kind of like that.
You need to be a bit more specific about what that means. Full damage dealt in a radius of X? Half damage to X number of monsters within Y range of target?
When you say “Remove Sorceress Only Skills” you mean to make them O-skills right? Because the way it’s phrased it could mean removing the +Skills entirely. Frankly I think the only thing really needed is to make the skills O-skills. Lots of classes would love to make use of Chilling Armor and Glacial Spike. Bowazon is the first that comes to mind.

I would imagine this would have to be left up by the developers to determine the best way to add melee splash damage as a bonus to Steelrend Ogre Gauntlets. I would be leaning to half damage to all monsters within a radius of target monster, but not sure what would be appropiate.

Well, this would only be usable by a barbarian using Wolfshowl (since Rabies require Werewolf form). But I think that is still an important improvement, and makes it have a purpose.
That would certainly work. Although I remember once reading some suggestions for the skill that included adding +3 Werewolf and +3 Lycanthropy as O-Skills, which might be interesting.
Infernostride isn’t that bad, if only the chance to cast was 25% or something. Level 8 Blaze is 16% Faster Run/Walk, which is nice and useful. The problem is that the Blaze duration is only 13 seconds, and you shouldn’t be hit twice a second (which is about what you’d need to have regular access to Blaze at a 5% Chance to Cast). Alternatively increase the spell level to 18 which would give 36% Faster Run/Walk and last for 17 seconds, it wouldn’t always be active but the bonus to run walk would be substantial when it does hit.

Sureshill probably needs to be re-focused a little more. I’d suggest +% cold damage, or +3 cold skills, and chance to cast Frozen Orb on Striking.
You have an item that has a cool effect that won’t really do any damage or see any use as you have it. Level 9 frozen orb is like…150 damage every so often, randomly. Trivial. It might even be better to have +2 cold skills, +15% cold skill damage, and Cast to cast Frozen orb to really double down on it’s fantasy.

I love lots of the changes I think the only thing I’d add is more high level unique shields should come with sockets to let them shine over a runeword.
I like the idea of the Blackoak Shield Luna, and yes it should have cannot be frozen. Also if it had a roll of 1-2 socket it would make for an intersting shield. I’d be interested in some other “ok/meh” items just getting a few sockets as their bonus of being unique. It’s odd how some Blues rely sole on this for their value.
Not sure if you cover this somewhere but I also would love the ability to destroy a legendary to take it’s look / appearance and add it to a different set of gear. This would help many legendaries have a niche just because they look good.
Alma Negra as well it either needs some native resist or sockets, it competes with HOZ that already has the resists so it needs something else to stand out.
One other issue for items that compete with Spirit is the the big mana bonus. I would love for Hand of Blessed Light/The Redeemer to be more competitive with Spirit and HOTO. The mana and FCR give runewords more general gear flexability and to me makes them the best choice still.

In terms of adding more value to The Redeemer, I wonder what people think about adding +2-4 To Sanctuary (Paladin Only)?
Remember that this is level 39. It’s supposed to be a mid-level weapon.
That said it helps to think of who could make use of it. The few I could see making use of it would be: An Enchant Sorceress, an Elemental Zealot, maybe a Frenzy Barbarian, maybe a Fire Claws Druid.
The Enchant Sorceress would basically be using it for the Frozen Orb procs to complement the fire damage from enchant. Being a Sorceress, they would also have Cold Mastery. An Elemental Zealot would be using it for the Frozen Orb procs, so probably a Holy Fire or Holy Shock Zealot. Similarly, the Fire Druid would also be using it for the Frozen Orb damage to provide some cold damage and AofE.
Looking at all of those the most important part would be to make the Frozen Orb level and chance to cast high enough to be useful. However, Frozen Orb can only reach level 10 at level 39, so having a higher level than that would arguably make the mace better than native Frozen Orb on a Sorceress.
So, I would probably make it something like 20% chance to cast level 10 Frozen Orb.
+Cold Skills helps hardly any, only really helping the Druid use case by adding + skills to Hurricane. Which makes me think that adding an +1 Hurricane O-skill would be more useful. It would help all the potential character builds that might use the weapon, not for damage from Hurricane, but rather the chill effect which would support a Frenzy Barbarian and an Enchant Sorceress quite well.
+X% Cold Skill damage is a more useful trait, making it potentially useful for a Cold Sorceress as well as the melee use cases by increasing the damage of Frozen Orb. It has to be chosen carefully though, because it should not be more powerful than the +Skill on an Orb or Heart of the Oak. That would make it a caster weapon, and I think we want it to be a lesser alternative for a caster not best in slot for a Cold Sorceress.
With full synergies, a +1 Skill point in Blizzard increases damage by 60 points. So a +3 Blizzard rare Orb would be +180 damage. +10% Cold Skill damage would be ~220 additional Blizzard Damage. That suggests that +15% Cold Skill Damage is far too powerful, +10% Cold Skill damage might be okay considering that Orbs can have other benefits, but I’d say +5% Cold Skill Damage is more than enough to bump the Frozen Orb damage and make it a plausible weapon for a Frost Zealot, while leaving it as inferior to Orbs for a Cold Sorceress. Maybe split the difference and make it +8% Cold Damage, but no more than that.

This isn’t strong enough to see any use. +2 cold 8% cold damage I think is strong enough. You’re utilizing too many o-skills. No only do unique items have to be unique from rares, they have to be unique from each other.
They are different O-skills though. And Sureshrill Frost and Moonfall seem to be obvious Cold/Fire counterparts. Also, how exactly is +1 Hurricane O-skill more powerful than +2 Cold Skills? Your design makes this a top piece of equipment for a Cold Sorceress, a build that already has lots of great equipment. The +1 Hurricane O-skill is much less useful for a Cold Sorceress, and mostly useful for off meta builds like an Enchant Sorceress, or Frost Zealot. A Frenzy Barb would find it very useful mid level, but it drops off in end game. The only top meta end game build I can think of that would benefit from the weapon would maybe be a Telsadin? And even then, that build has better weapon options.
Actually, it’s pretty amazing how few uniques currently have overlap. The worst one that comes to mind is Hellplague and Hexfire. Which I’d suggest ought to be differentiated by making Hellplague more combat melee focused while giving Hexfire more of a mage knight feel with some caster oriented bonuses.

No, it makes it a competitive type of equipment, but definitely not the best. If it’s not comparable to Spirit sword, it’s useless. your idea is USELESS until someone looks at it and says…This is actually better for me, a Cold mage, than Spirit. I want to use this instead. How ubiquitous Spirit is makes it the meter stick.
Ideally, same case for Hexfire. a Fire mage stares at this and says yes, this is better for Fire than that spirit runeword I made in normal cows. Because it does this “X” thing, and that’s awesome.
You want to make uniques interesting and do unique things runewords don’t do. That’s the whole idea of a revamp.
Another cool unique is the dimensional blade Ginther’s Rift. I was thinking since it repairs durability, it would be cool if it always spawned ethereal. Also, give it one open socket for customization and slight boost in magic damage as shown below…
