[OPINION] New DLC items are beautiful and useless

[mant2si]

I have installed new Seeker, Slayer, Survivor DLC and checked all new items with console... I don't understand what the problem with Obsidian. They added incredibly beautiful armor and weapon but most of these items are useless. 

Check on attached screenshot:

 

 

1. Head - 2 Perception, Charm all beast for 15s on beast kill
2. Armor - There no-legendary version of this armor
3. Weapon - When War Bow's modal activated this bow has 75% chance to Distract near death target, 30% chance  on CRIT, to attack all enemies on line with 

4. Cape - Primary attack riposte with 10% chance

WTF ? Why they can't design more items like Scordeo's Edge, Sun & Moon, Frost-seeker, Nemno'k Cloak

In DLC exist few good items, like flail which do Fire AOE on Hit or War Axe which can upgrade all might inspirations to 1 tier above

Pobably pushing towards a more nieche design when it comes to newer items, which should have been the case from the beginning, btw.  

 

While I can't speak for all of the items you've mentioned, Sun and Moon is one that I use a lot. And I can tell you that it's kinda universally good among a wide variety of builds... that's probably the reason. 

 

Personally, I wouldn't use a +2 Perception Helm(when I just recently found out about Nature's Resolve,) but it's nice to have variety, plus there some people might like it. It does come with a nice charm effect, which could make it very good during a TCS run.

They look cool, but you can't do anything with them and your post only confirm this, what the point to use Bow which 2x time worse than any other legendary Bow with immediately recovery on Crit ?

You know... I am thinking you might actually enjoy the other PoE--that's Path of Exile. Over there you really need to do much more power building than in here, and I am just getting the sticky suspicion you might feel at home there more than here :D.

That helm is perfect for my next character, a wolf druid. Although I'll change to Fury and pretend that was an effect of having part of my soul taken by Eothas.

[Lampros]

Sigh. Anything really that makes you go "wow!"?

 

Also, how are these items acquired? Anything that can be gotten easily without visiting the DLC area (I am still only level 12)?

Subbing thread.

Yeah, there exists at least 2 good items

 

1. Soulbound axe, thanks for guy who designed this weapon, it upgrade any might inspiration to 1 tier, i.e now Berseker can get Energized, and all other barbarian sub-classes can get +2 pen for free i.e now you don't need Berserker to rise your Pen + it regain 15HP for all kills

2. Flail which do 10 - 12 fire damage on hit (with Maxed Religion), it transfer all on HIT/CRIT effects and has large AOE, and increase accuracy by 4. I tested it with Blood Storm and Avenging Storm (Now you can make Pure Druid build with good AOE Damage)

 

But even with this two items, what the point to design so boring and useless items effects. You create wolf headgear ? - Make it auto summon wolf each encounter OR give it DoT damage for your fists OR transformation to wolf ... just something interesting

You mean like the hide armor that fits with it and summons a familiar at the start of every encounter?

I checked this armor. All familiar bonus were something between +3/+4 to accuracy or defenses, last transformation ability give you weapon without accuracy bonus

 

Not I mean real summon, not a familiar

I wonder what happens if you are a Conjurer and summon two familiars...?

I tested armor with Cipher, so I even don't know if it stacked with normal summons

You could also use it to gain Energized on a character (e.g. Monk using Thunderous Blows, or any character on whom a Priest casts Champion's Boon), then switch to another weapon of your choice. I really like that particular ability

Thanks; that really sounds awesome. I hope we can get it early enough to make use of it.

 

By the way, how are these items acquired? Any new items in the shops or acquired through non-DLC mob drops?

I don't know I only checked them over console, to plan my next build for DLC

[Lampros]

By the way, how about the new mythical tier of upgrades? Are ingredients easily obtainable? The upgrades themselves worth it?

[Ophiuchus]

Someone please tell me the new axe is one-handed. Please, please, please, please.

[mant2si]

Yes

[house2fly]

Mythic costs 1 Mythical Adra Stone. As of right now, there are only two in the game: one if you choose it when starting a new game with Berath's Blessing, one dropped by Belranga. Presumably there'll be more dropped by the other megabosses

Sage: Thunderous Blows -> Swift Strikes -> Citzal's Spirit Lance. Game over, man!

[Prince of Lies]

I haven't had time to download and check it out.

 

Is that the bow equiped? I'm digging the model. Same with the armor/helm. 

 

I'm more interested to see what they will do with the new robes in DLC3.

One man's trash is another man's treasure!

[Metaturtle]

I prefer the niched gearing honestly to get away from too much power creeping that comes with new gear. It's easy to get into the mindset that some of the new pieces are not mind blowing since I think Obsidian spoiled us already with some super amazing ones to put our expectations high and/or find alternatives to.

 

Is the soulbound axe able to get past superb quality? Is it classlocked? Are there perks for specific classes on it?
