Now that S23 is coming to an end

Which of the emanate items did you receive the most of and you never even used any of them?

  1. Dovu Energy Trap (Amulet). 2. Krede’ Flame (Ring).

Of those two, Dovu Energy Trap, but also Pauldrons of the Skeleton King.

Hopefully they will add additional emanate items in the future.

For me, it was:

  • Gladiator Gauntlets
  • Goldskin

Agreed.

I was shocked they didn’t add anything this PTR. Like, what? More Emanates was a slam dunk. But let’s be honest.

This is the devs that won’t even do simple balance fixes.

If you roll a nice Flavor of Time, Dovu can be quite useful, especially with ancient parth defenders for all those damage buffs on sets and items that proc with stun. So I’ve used that, not alot, but some. Krede’s I’ve used ALOT, wearing a fire immune ammy. Makes resource starved builds very easy to RNG in pushes. Just kite fire elites along with all the other difficult to kill mobs to a flame thrower, and spam your skills. Great defense, and the additional damage from all those fire explosions and flame throwers does more than squirts and occy combined.

Problem for pushing and high end.
You don’t want dovu since it add more "DR"ing and so constant cc will just make them immune even faster.
Nearly ever build was squirts since flavor emenates it’s the most powerful amulet on follower and squirts only needs 1-2 stacks to add more damage than any other amulet.
So why you’d change that besides travelers for toughness or using a Lod build

Dovu extends the time of stuns, doesn’t stun in itself. If you stun for HF or for frenzy anyway, there is a use case. The longer duration actually helps, since you apply fewer stuns per time.

Squirts is definitely nice, but being fire immune is awesome for both speeds and RNG pushing as I described. Being able to sit inside a flamethrower or fire trap will kill lots of trash for you.

The time of the stub effects the "DR"ing and will make them immune faster…

Also that doesn’t matter because the fire trap in halls doesn’t hurt you

Kredes I used on most builds. It was especially great for bone spear. On some RGs 100% Bone spear instead of 2/3 of time charge up, 1/3 bone spear.

Goldskin was dropping a lot for me when I was playing, and Dovu’s Energy Trap.
