You Make The Item! (WEEK 2)

[Steve_Howe]

Wisdom takes the lead!

When does Week 3 start?

When does Week 3 start?

It won't until Wisdom wins. It should give a Wisdom bonus to Wisdom too.

CON and WIS are so close, that it may be advisable to have a run-off election and hopefully end up with a clearer winner. All the people who picked one of the other 4 stats probably have a preference between CON/WIS to make it more decisive one way or the other.

Or just go to week 3 and include options for both wisdom and con sub catagories.

I was going to abstain as I like the idea of a item not about stats. But now I like the idea of an item that is wis + con; once per day protect your mind and body from DOT effects to HP and SP for ML seconds!

I'm considering it. I did a lot of prep work for this and never once considered a tie! At this point, I'm going to call it - the votes have been neck and neck all week and it'd be unfair to pick one or the other. I'm going to take a little bit of time to restructure some stuff before Week 3 starts in earnest (likely on Monday) but for right now it's definitely clear that both Wis and Con won I'll see you guys for Week 3!

neck....tie

too bad you can't make one of those visible.

Soooo....Goggles of the Falconry Melee Build it is then

Add both con and wisdom to the item. Call it Body and Soul. Problem solved.

I vote for a Alchemical bonus to your highest stat.

Let's combine these ideas. The heroic version gives a +1 alchemical bonus to con and wis, the legendary a +2 alchemical bonus. Or it could cycle between them every 5 minutes or so.

This makes the LEAST amount of sense for an item you want a community to vote on.

There were about 200 votes for which slot the item should be. 200 different people with probably 40 different builds and 90 different playstyles.
Either the majority of people vote for the most universally appealing option because that way at least everyone will have an item they can somewhat use, or you have 40 different groups each pulling their own direction and winding up with an item where polls are ended with votes scattered and nothing reaching a clear majority, nobody happy because each group wins once or twice and gets a tiny splatter of what could be useful to them on the item, but the rest of the item doesn't pull it together and allow it to be great or even good for their build, and thus nobody uses it and this whole thing turns out to be a failure.

imo if you want to design a rad, funky item for a specific build then that is what you should be doing.
If you want to know what specific build to make a funky item for, it would have been better to make a thread asking for weird builds and look through them until you see one that inspires you to make said item. Like, maybe the idea of a Cleric/Warlock that does most of its healing and damage through passive auras gives you the funky item idea for an Orb whose powers increase every few seconds so long as you don't actively swing a weapon or cast a spell, similar to In The Weeds/Hiding in Plain Sight for being still or Riposte for not attacking.

I give this post two thumbs and one uprating up!

[Niminae]

You know Lynn, this whole community created item idea is really, really cool... but perhaps it would have been better to start with an item theme of some kind.

I agree. And perhaps this go-around can be considered a shake down cruise, with successive events like this getting better and better as a result of all the feedback both positive and negative.

Why not create a new affix that has both wis and con in it and name it "the potent owl" or "omnipotent"?

[Aelonwy]

*pokes thread* So week 3?

[Captain_Wizbang]

There are far more viable con items in this game. Wisdom is the way to go.
