U42 Preview 2: Named Loot

[Yamani]

The Cornerstone Champion Raid Belt
Minimum Level: 29

• (QUALITY STR, DEX, WIS +5)
• Reinforced Fists/Higher Tier Reinforced Fists
• Melee Alacrity +15%

This being the only quality dex item it is very heavily meant for melee monks? Can we get another quality dex for the non monk builds? Or one more ranged focus'd

Suggestions like this are infinitely more likely to be accepted with something seriously concrete. I've been rearranging stuff in my head for so long that as long as you suggest somewhere reasonable I'm likely to just say yes as it's easier to just do it than argue with you.

Could you change the greatsword to a falchion? We already have two raid greatswords from the past three raids, but no raid falcions in the current endgame. Some builds (e.g. druid) don't get blanket marshal weapon prof and have to pick one.

[Alcides]

My only problem with that is I kind of hope to not just make the Ravenloft sets but better numerically. I want them to do different things defensively. Is there some other stat that I could push up instead of MRR?

MRR is necessary to a tank. Not providing an upgrade path with somewhat better stats in some fashion is really not a good option.

Going to have to be a hard no on that. It has its own custom art that matches the raid and has been designed visually so it can be split in half and wielded separately, and I would like to use that art asset here.

Allowable DEX for the armors...

What about something similar to barbarians new damage DR, like a flat 5-10% damage reduced damage taken. Make sure it works similar to absorption though. Could remove the 30 PRR and bump it to 15% too.

example: 30 barb, 100 PRR 14 DR, and this set, 1000 damage x 0.5 (PRR) x 0.86 (DR) x 0.9 (Set) = 387 damage taken

Where would you like it to fit? Suggestions like this are infinitely more likely to be accepted with something seriously concrete.

I've been looking it over since I posted that and I think it fits with Shadow Sprinters. Ghostly instead of Quality Resistance though I do like Quality Resistance.

Also is the Speed on that the Shadow Sprinters just movement? Can it also be melee/ranged alacrity 15%?

Another item that would work is the Celestial Amethyst Ring. Swap out Dodge for Ghostly.


I understand and appreciate what you're doing is difficult.

[red_kain]

I also love the idea of adding Dust/Ash and other PRR/MRR reducing effects to the weapons.

None of those work for me as far as suggestions, sadly. If you have any other places that you think it'd fit do let me know. Shadow Sprinters have Speed, not Striding, don't worry.

Pshaw, flattery will get you nowhere untrue, I am very susceptible to flattery

The community made goggles originally missed the notes. They've been added to the "non-set items" post.

+5 Ability score for ML15 version is correct value? Must be +8 at least, CC have +8 at ML15! 8)

That's probably correct, I'm too tired to check but I'll trust you on this one.

This is just my first glance at this preview, but a few things came to mind.

Missing more options in the sets. As a example you could look at the melee set, would be nice if the Molten Adamantine Gauntlets was part of the set.
Gonna be very hard to fit in gauntlets (especially with threat reduction… ), and the dr breaker on the current Molten Gloves or the ada version is hard
to pass up, especially considering the current Molten Silver Gloves also count towards a set.
I would imagine most players would love more options to fit in the diff sets, could make some of the "non set items" upgradable to set items.

Looking at the distribution of insightfull +10 items, it seems to be skewed towards int, dex, str. Not sure why that is the case would have to look at the
previous releases to see if cha + wis was favored there.


And also please fix item switch lag, when you switch between 2 fully upgraded 100k sent weapons in a dungeon the game freezes for several seconds.

I think a similar thing
For all melee the new set is the way to go: it is a nonsense to have gloves items like the raid one that not fit in the set
Same for caster set

Even if the best gloves i ll never swap them for the set bonus

Suggestion

Make more items set items:

This is valid for other set types,

Can't find the shield Solar Eclipse.

I threw it in the Heroic and Epic Non-Set Item Shops in the Loot Guy. Is it not there?

[Pilgrim1]

Sure, what if I just co-opted Dust? It's the hot new thing nowadays.

Real talk - I am least happy with the Raid Weapons. I want them to be more rad. Throw me raid weapon suggestions.

How about a named arrow?

Something like:

Phenix arrow:
100% returning
Fire damage
Radiance (the type that does aoe light dmg and no save blind)
Crippling (crippling arrowhead trinket has the same effect - old version from amerath weapon shipment)
Armor pearcing 25% + damage (the tear 2 effect from thunderforged items)

I think people would love them some new arrows. You even have a few named arrows with 75% returning that you could steal the base template from.

Many of the Ravenloft armors had a profane bonus to all stats. Is there a reason why that practice/model was not carried-over to the Sharn armors?

The caster sclub of assistance:
Dust
Oze
Ash
Vulnerability

Would be great for a caster trying to suport a group with debuffs and amp damage

Sharn isn't a really profane place. I try to keep itemization balanced and adhere to flavor. I don't think having unholy strength is a core tenant of, say, a Silver Flame themed divine casting set, or a Primal Druid Caster set. I tried to provide a few alternatives in a variety of places.
