Hey Charles, thanks for the table. But I´s lacking some important information. Most important the lvl req. and what could roll on the second affix.
So I go through by topic/class/affix.
FRW:
I proposed to increase the 50% FRW on the “Transportation” affix and not on the “Accelareation”. The first one has a higher lvl req. of 57. Acceleration “only” has 43. Stamina drain doesn´t matter at all (and I´m not sure how 120% slower stamina drain would work .
Both are suffixes and the only other prefix what can roll would be “godly” with ED (+101-200%) at lvl 38.
So I would not thouch Acceleration with already okayisch +40% FRW for lvl 42 (if SSF). But would only change the higher lvl 57 “Transportation” from 30 to 50% (stamina doesn matter anyhow so if 60% or 100% slower doesn´t make a difference, if stamina doesn´t get new puporse as suggested in the “class skill changes” thread). We could increas the godly affix (magic and rares) from 101-200% to 101-300% but I guess thats not worth the effort. So would not touch it at all.
Dmg:
This only will work in my oppinion on very very few weapons at best. I would adjust this specificially with the elite Winged Knife (lvl 57) in mind for Barbs. This is the only fast base (-20) and I see little to no chance of the others beeing useable at all (same for all other weapons - as far as I can keep everything in my little head ).
Lvl 61 “Grandmaster’s” +251-300 to Attack Rating and 151-200% Enhanced Damage
All other prefixes including “cruel” (201-300% ED) and the +3 to each barb skill trees would not be enough to be viable with the only two available suffixes. It needs to compete with an badly rolled non (eth) Warshrike at least!
So would not thouch “Butchery” (will allways be irrelevant). But would increase “Evisceration” to 41-100 (at min!). And “Grandmaster’s” to 251-400 AR and 151-300% ED.
Combined with our propossed base changes (which increases the uniques as well). We could see something around the below.
Todays Winged Knife (max rolled, 200 ED, 63 max dmg) would have a base throw dmg of 69-180. New version could roll to:
Base dmg: 23 - 39 we proposed to improve elite base dmg between 25% and 50%. So that could be 34 - 58 (new base). The 300% ED from “new” “Grandmasters” would result in a dmg of 136 - 232. Evisceration would add +100 max dmg.
So 136-332 dmg (if I´m right for a non eth perfect one).
But without any goodies the uniques offer (no additional IAS, now CtC static, no leech and cant be eth except for one time use ) and needs to roll allways goodly at least.
Might be enough to not only use Warshrike/Lacerator but combine it or use it in SSF or PVP (if you find several eth ones).
Doesn´t make any difference for any situation. So no opinion about that.
Sure, why not. Could help +3 Ammy and Circlets in some niche PvM cases and maybe for PvP. But still 25 is not crazy. That would only be 2.5 life/second.
Thats the prefix, so why not. But at the end there will be no suffix creating any usefull item (only a pure +60% MF Ammy or +50% Ring ). If you change the suffix (26-35 on Circlets and Ammy and 16-25 on rings) that would be more usefull tbh.
There we have it. To quickly writing
So we could see +70% MF Ammy and Circlets (without anything else). So a 3 PTopaz helmet woud be replaced with this +70% MF 2 OS magic circlet. Why not…
5 OS on Shields? And what would you be aiming for on weapons? 5 OS “Jewelers” whatever of the Ages? Or with max dmg? Not sure what that should be any good for, considered the very limited possible suffixes to pair with Pls help me!
