Re-worked Shako is nice (if it stays)

PC General Discussion
1

20% base CDR, is like 54% or something masterworked & GA. maybe able to drop CDR on amulets, rings, off hands = BIG WIN. IMO

2

we gotta refarm all these again? gah

3

Its the 2nd time i hear thi

Where have you seen it?

But it kinda makes sense, that ubers get some loving at the same time as standard uniques =o

Now that they are mythic ( purple ) :smiley: They gotta be great

Is it +18 max resource, or 18% resource generation? Because +18 resource kinda bites.

And did you mean 20% Damage Reduction, or two instances of 20% CDR?

The only decent improvement is the 20% CDR. I’d generally rather have +All Stats than Armor that gets capped at such a low value.

Cooldowns have been changed to start after the skill has finished its effect. This doesn’t even come close to how good it was previously.

8

Oh great. Not that I don’t like the change but I can already see them yet again nerfing classes because gear is too op. Incoming future cdr cap nerf.

9

that only for certain skills like FS

I’ve never gotten Shako nor did I ever craft one. I beat the game just fine without it. Maybe this time I’ll go for it and then I can beat the game even faster than ever. I guess I’ll be bored after 1 week now instead of 2-3 weeks. I’ll keep an open mind though with S5 and see how it actually plays out.

And no… my end goal is not pit 200 but for those that like to chase that one, enjoy.

looks like crown of lucion is gonna stay strong, or at least strong enough to dominate all resource spending builds, making shako for cooldown based builds. this can be the reason they got rid of resource gen and buff cdr.

this may also imply locran will stay strong so that the max resource from shako has good synergy with it.

if my guess is right, who’s the uber now?

40% CDR? I think you goofed.

14

It’s 20% DR for the * part.

15

Take a look for yourself

Just scroll down almost to the bottom and you can see the pic. It would be much easier if we were allowed to post pics on here.

16

The stats of new Shako are

1156 Armor
1850 Life
18 Max Resource
2500 Armor
20% CD
20% Damage reduction and +4 all skills.

This version makes other versions trash because of 20% CD is massive.

17

this whole nerf thing has got to stop. Make something cool and crazy, let it stay. The fun police will eventually kill the game.

I think 20% CD base is more than you could get before if it critted 3 times on CD. Imagine masterworking this new one three times on CD. Going to be super super op and one of only ways to get CD. They made this item better than ever with CD changes. Losing resource gen sucked though.

I saw a video earlier from wudijo and he mentioned that masterworked correctly, the new Shako could potentially give 54% DR… which to put it politely, is insane!

Only skills that would potentialy give you immortality.
