I know the stat gains outweigh the negative level... but I'm not sure if I can play the game with the neg level icon constantly on my screen.

Any Pallys out there currently using the new Litany of the Dead trinket?

I'm close to my 20th and can't decide on the Gloves or Litany.

Deal with it, it's best-in-slot and the benefits far outweigh the negative level.

Yes, both my pally builds have Litany. Dont even notice the neg level icon.

Necklace if fleshie. Can finally free up that glove slot.

Move the icon to somewhere you don't notice it :)

Just realized... Are you saying that there's no method to get rid of the taint of evil? Heroic Litany can be upgraded and epic cannot?
Funny...

There's no way that I know of.

Along with the divine grace nerf, giving pally splashes a penalty for wearing the best item from the new content seems like a further attempt to keep pally splashes in check...seems they do not want pally/pally splashes to wear it. Kinda funny that its other attributes are so good many or most will anyway.

I noticed this on the Epic Lotus of Vol with the taint as well...seems like that necklace is clearly intended to be worn by barbarians and they don't want pally/pally splashes to wear it.

Anyone know if the negative levels stack if wearing both items?

I doubt it was an attempt to hinder pally's since it doesn't really hurt them. They lose 5 hp, gain 28, lose +1 to all saves, and they gain it right back. So in comparison to other builds pally's get 5 less hp from it and 1 less save.

When you've canceled out the saves boost, why is this still best in slot? Seems much more marginal now...

Logic begone!!!
We want taint removed so that we dont have any penality!!!

Not a big fan of being unable to remove the evil. There is no reason they couldn't add that to the existing alter and just cost us the new raid taps.

It would be nice if this taint could be cleansed.

Perhaps an option for the level 30 cap and return of Erandis Vol.... or maybe just wishful thinking

Indeed, one should always cleanse their taint ^^

The fix needed for Epic Litany is to create some new valuable items in other content which are less powerful if you're non-Good. In the olden days, Pure Good weapons filled that role, but they're gone / obsolete now.

Wish it could be any other way, but taint.

Paladins by their very nature as paladins should not be allowed to wear a litany. Knowing using an evil item automatically causes a paladin to cease being a paladin and is treated as a fighter. At least that is how things work in dungeons and dragons. In this first person shooter though? Guess anything goes.

I guess online game is different, but there should a way to remove that negative level.. maybe rare drop item?. It seems like a lazy work on turbine side, not everyone needs that upgraded augment slots -.-
