Only having a Legendary Shield that specifically focuses on Bone Storm is pretty lame/boring.
Oh wow I just double checked and there is NONE at all?
2 x Head
2 x Rings
4 x Weapons
3 x Amulets
2 x Boots
2 x Chest
2 x Gloves
and … 0 x Focus? Devs dropped the ball on that one.
There are many offhand items that can be(made) legendary. You ment unique I guess. And yes that slot has very few of those item quality.
Well technicaly shields are offhand items, not weapons. Also there are no unique offhands for Sorc at all, and only other class that has one is Druid. So yeah devs realy need to step up their unique item developing, and fill each slot with multiple of those, specialy offhand slots for classes thet can use such items.
I’ve been stating this for many season. The game has tons of rings and uniques but the devs have failed to create one single unique crossbow for rogues, totem for druids, or focus for sorcerers. Also, they should make about 3 each to compliment various builds from each class.
Druid just got a totem this season. Not that it is enough, but let’s be fair. Not having any focuses for sorc and necro, and xbows for rogue is mind blowing though.
Since only a Thorns Necromancer equips a Shield in their build, I think a new Unique Shield that buffs Thorns damage would be appropriate. Right now, the only Unique Shield in the game is used by practically no one.
I have a 4 GA Lidless Wall that I can’t sell because no one wants it nor can I use it in my Thorns build.
Druid is the only class actually who got a offhand unique indeed.
Sorcerer and Necro => Nope
(Shield is not a offhand)
Barbarian didn’t get any Polearms, 1H Mace or 1H Axe unique if i remember correctly.
The Butcher’s Cleaver is not a Barbarian unique.
The Shattered Vow is a mythic unique who can go to SB and Barbarian. So not a Unique.
We undoubtly get new uniques next season, probably a ring who play with thorns.
Interesting. Than what is it? It occupies the offhand slot. Any item that doesn’t/can’t be put in the mainhand slot, is called an offhand item. Even a weapon can be an offhand item.
Shield is a Shield, offhand is all considered as focus for Necromancer, Sorcerer and Druid.
Barbarian offhand as a different working mechanic because of the quadruple weapons arsenal.
Even if a “legendary shield” can benefit the same type of aspect as focus, they don’t work like a focus, a shield is a defensive weapon. focus is a offhand offensive weapon.
That mean, actually on this day, there is not Offhand unique for Necromancer and Sorcerer.
Offhand slot is an offhand slot. Whatever you epuip there is an offhand item. There is no shiels slot.
They could bring back homunculus, inspired in D2, as unique offhand.
(Inherent - evocation damage)
Unique effect: minion masteries passives are also core skill, and benefit from + ranks from items.
Perhaps abit OP, but just a suggestion
Put away curses and bring Ranks to Hellbent Commander.
Curses didn’t need any worthy bonus excepted Amplify Damages passive node.
You can equip either a Focus or Shield in your offhand slot. The Focus is the offensive offhand option. The Shield is the defensive offhand option. Both are considered offhand gear.
