You Make The Item! (WEEK 3)

[Lynnabel]

Hello, all! Week 2 brought us a tie between Wisdom and Constitution, Week 1 brought us the slot of Goggles, and Week 3 will determine - the theme! Please vote above for the theme you want the most!


The Item so Far:
Slot: Goggles
Primary Stat Focus: Wis and Con

[Memnir]

In honor of the forums: Doom and Gloom.
(although if Fire & Brimstone wins, I wouldn't be upset)

[HastyPudding]

Body and Mind!

Let's get some zen stuff, for once.

[JonD]

Pain and Suffering, because Wisdom tells us that pain is only fleeting and Constitution allows us to tolerate the suffering.

[LeoLionxxx]

Winds of the wild - I feel like this is going to end up as a bear-tank item!

[Aelonwy]

I went with Wind & Wilds, I like alliteration. Second choice would have been Body & Mind but only if there had been a 2nd item themed Heart & Soul.

[Arkat]

Body and Mind...stick in a little "Serenity Now!", too.

[skorpeon]

Pain and suffering

What does not kill me makes me stronger...

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance (Constitution)

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us (Wisdom)

(Taken from a fairly old book....)

[Vish]

Well, it was kinda a tie for me
I'm looking for monk goggles,
So I liked both body and mind, and pain and suffering
But I went with body and mind

Now,
I'm looking for goggles of
Accuracy
Doublestrike
Insightful wisdom
Qual con
And the theme that ties them together

Accuracy can be mind, as well as insight wisdom
Doublestrike can be body, as qual con
And then juicy theme,
I leave this up to you, oh loot god!

[janave]

Bet it will end up being a +2 wooden spoon of merit

The Item so Far:
Slot: Goggles
Primary Stat Focus: Wis and Con

Not necessarily the item I would want to create myself but on the other hand there wasn't anything that I really wanted to create, leaving it up to the group as a decision was fine for me off the top.
It is only imaginable that a group effort item will go in several directions that most people may not think as ideal.

That being said, this is a good time to pull it together and vote to make an item with a solid uniform theme that will be desirable by a couple classes. Considering we have Wis and Con I went with Body and Mind to hopefully reign things in and focus on creating a good item for Clerics, Monks and other Wisdom based builds out there.

Putting together an item that is useful for two or more Wisdom based classes would make the item more popular with a wider base and it wouldn't have to be game breaking and super niche.

[Yamani]

Went with fire and brimstone.

Body and mind just sounds like itll end up being a slightly altered version of the visions of precision.

too many fire themed items in the game already. and body and mind sounds too peaceful for my liking. might as well stick some flowers on it and slap some pink shades while you're at it.

bring on the doom and gloom, and glaze it with pain and suffering!

now that's what I call an item!

[GramercyRiff]

Don't make another Monk item. It'll be ok if Monks can use this item, but focus on the Wisdom classes that don't have a terrible attack animation. Speaking of which I'm going to have try out a Longsword Monk soon because handwraps Monks look terrible.

How about giving it both...Quality Wisdom and Quality Con....or if not both...make it drop randomly with either con or wis.

[Kenpai]

Another poll with very little information on what each option actually means. Trying to interpret each option as best as I can

Body and Mind - This screams Monk.
Wind and Wilds - Almost certainly Druid and/or Ranger focused, possibly some Barbarian since it is also meant to be CON, plus the WIS bonuses in FotW.
Honor and Justice - This is Paladin's mantra, so Paladin item.
Fire and Brimstone - Cleric/FvS spell list has some fire spells. Wikipedia also states this is "an expression of signs of gods' wrath" so definitely thinking this is a divine caster option.

And the less obvious sounding ones
Doom and Gloom - Err.... Warlock? Can't think of any other class that's doomy or gloomy. Other than Pale Master but that is a stretch for a CON/WIS item.
Pain and Suffering - Either some synergy with dagger builds or Ravager Barbarian?

I'm going to hold off on voting on the off chance that we get more info on what each option means. Though if I'm right in my assumptions, Honor and Justice will probably have my vote.

[guzzlr]

Well, if it can't be True Grit, give me Doom and Gloom.

Edit: Girlfriend just tossed out... Live and Learn.

I'd like to change my vote!

[Lynnabel]

Live and Learn.

That's my favorite Crush 40 song.

[Arkat]

That's my favorite Crush 40 song.

Who?

So we'll add it to the poll?
