Hmmm really? I mean it has every required top stat. CD reduction, massive HP, resource gen. Those are the big 3.
Then lets not forget the 20% flat damage reduction. Which is massive and arguably would make any item BiS on it’s own.
Then +4 skills. Idk. Seems like nothing is even close. Shako is worth several slots of gear to me.
agree that Shako is OP. Still i don’t know exactly what is +4 skills. It’s not +4 skills like it was in D2 because in d2, the skills changed depending on the number of points you put in there, in d4, it’s probably just % damage. And that is my main concern regarding + any skills in D4.
Yeah it’s still bis for sure. But I thought it was better than how I see it now. I mean I can already get +4 specific skills on items. Even multiple skills per item. If it’s my main skills, it’s rivaling shako already, kind of thing. Before, I was thinking the most you could get on an item was a +2 specific skill.
+skills also means lower cooldowns on many of them. Cooldown reduction is already one of if not the most important stat in the game overall. +4 to every skill is insane for one item just on its own, not even counting everything else Shako has.
yeah sure you are right i forgot about cooldowns.
But it would be great if we could understand what exactly % of flat damage you’ll receive after + x to skills.
It means + 4 skills. + 4 to every offensive and defensive skill. + 4 to every weapon mastery or utility tree.
Imagine + 4 more to offense and then +4 to shouts and Iron skin. Just immortal god mode.
Then still the best stat in the game really with 20% DR. It’s like an .08 Shako from old D2 but better with the massive HP.
Shako is + 80 to skills. Literally + 80. We have 20 skills and it’s + 4 to ALL OF THEM.
Ok I got my + 4 Gohr’s so yea items can roll + 4. However a Shako is + 4 Everything. Not to mention if you have a + 4 in another slot Shako is even a more multiplicative boost.
FYI it also gives you skills you don’t select. You literally can now take point out of other main stats and pump up passive if you want. Lot of options. It’s a game changer.
btw anyone knows what other unique named items have been found , I meen those that where in pretty much all diablo games.
I dont think you understand my point at all really and I am too lazy to explain. This is like some gotcha reply.
Let me ask you, will setting the unique level requirement to a static fixed number affect a lv 98?
It’s easily the best item in the game by far. Nothing else even comes close.
On a related note, is it even possible for every skill to show up on hats? For example, it seems like + ice shards can’t roll on a hat normally, but I could just be extremely unlucky. I’m pretty sure I usually see conjuration skills on sorc hats, maybe some defensive skills, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a core skill on a hat.
That is a great question I keep seeing all the + skills on helms except the one I want. Same for bracers. Seen Ammy roll + 2 Defensive and +1 specific defensive passive.
If mageblood in PoE didnt drop until level 100, there would be no point in it dropping.
thats even considering PoE has far far far more end game content as its been around much longer.
The lack of content in D4 is exacerbated by the fact that this is pre season and we have no clue what “content” awaits us in season 1. if the season one theme was something like “weapons can have 2 aspects” the game will fail when you also factor in how long it will take to access the most interesting items. Every item should be accessable in WT4. If that means WT4 cant be accessed until level 90 then fine, or make it 70 or w/e. Very silly design.
Yeah but you don’t use all those skills. If it included the passives, it would be the level of gg I thought it was before.
You would only be doing this for one point wonder skills. You’ll save a point or two tops.
Completely agree.
I’ve had only a few cases where I out level the gear, and stash it for my inevitable next hc run. But gear hunting for alts is definitely dead.
Can we stop replying to 4-8 day old posts
horrible take, not everything is free in life.
noone cares about path of excrement…
Yea , but these casuals dont pay enough attention in game , to actually know whats going on. Thank you for at least using your brain cells. This dude farming for alts at lvl 100 and then never gonna be able to use the gear lol… this a funny thread huh
This is why leveling needs to be sped up by 1000%. People already feel geared at 70-80 the rest of the levels are basically for paragon and theres nothing at lvl 100. You already do everything the game has to offer before you reach max level.
You guys realize it doesnt compete right?
Like if i have +9 frost nova, it could now be +13 frost nova.
Which is massive. Very big deal as with the aspect that gives second cast of nova, the cooldown would be close to nothing
So the most OP move in the game becomes spamable….
I really don’t understand why people in this thread say stuff like, “well, i can already achieve plus four to certain stats”. And??
Now you get +8
Also, for many skills you dont need to max it out you just need to select it.
So now, you can allocate extra skill points to passives. I’ve calculated i could save an additional 6 skill points if i had this helm. All those points will go to passives that i dont have access to
The issue then is gear lvl required is 100 when you loot anything at lvl 100.
