(see, remembered it this time)

Cloak still has no cosmetic

Apologies a bit later than normal. My new PC died 2 days ago, so had to borrow a friend's in order to get this out. This means I can't do my usual distribution on discord.

Incidentally, UK players will not be able to see it due to the image hosters restrictions. So that being said, may i introduce you to the concept of a VPN :D

It's just absolutely mind boggling how people who get paid to design loot haven't even got the slightest clue about game design fundamentals.

Generate excitement.
Some power, some uniqueness, some QoL.
Fullfil current needs.
Add means for longevity of the content.
Add something to the game economy.
Encourage variety.
Throw some bones and sunlight to the neglected.

Let's look at that dagger with ash on it. I understand wanting to not give it the obvious dust, that's what i mean with variety and encourage some different approaches. But don't give ash on a weapon that does nothing with it. Give salt, ooze spawns, 1000hp or vulnerability. It all does something.

Base(w) is as fine as can be.
Revel in blood is great.
Metalline is fine though the added dmg is just flavortext nobody minds that.
But the disintegrate is a waste of valuable real estate.
Use it to create identity and elegence to the weapon. Make it synergize with the offbrand LGS affix. BE CREATIVE.

Absolutely diabolical they're still putting things like "FOM" on items. Can I get one with feather fall too please.
 
STOP THE PRESSES!!! Ignore what I have said below. This is the solution to all your woes!


Certainly this move should be rare. It should be left to less desireable two handed weapons. What others are there except a staff? Take the Slime father's staff and add caster stuff to it. No one will be greatly overpowered. You'll be able to satisfy the masses with a meaningless gesture. Add the standard exceptional +3 DC to spells and DOT and LGS ability your fans will be made whole! SSG wills it!!

See edit above^

Shadow lord's arcana club? Is that where the students of Sorcere play D&D after school?
His sword might have had better flavor.
Can't work a greatsword into every raid though. I understand. Can't work an acidic caster staff either...last one was blightstaff. 2020. had lots of fun with it for a while.
Still have the hit point cap on Orcus's wand? I'll be sure to pack that one away and hope it gets errata'd later.
10% legendary conditioning? Too bad it won't stack with whatever 15-20% legendary bonus i'll be getting from my other nonraid gear.
Greater marksmanship still?

The generosity is overwhelming.

Note to self: don't buy the ultimate fan pack before the raid loot drops. I got sold on the story content. Fighting demon lords is my passion. I had hoped with would lead up to an expansion in Gehenna or perhaps the Blood War.

the bow is very bad, nothing special, nothing good... desintegrate 7 with a small chance to do 7d20+75 damage is a joke, we are saying that stuff like that are usless lvl 20+, please do something scaling for damage and give something special based on enhancements or classes !!!!
something like : if you have element arrow activated while using this bow, you gain a special effects, on hit apply DOT damage scaling with spell power and imbue dice. something legendary from a raid !

echo of the wand of orcus

spell casting implement +35
enhancement bonus +16
legendary ash
necromancy focus +14
power of the blight +169
quality blight lore +10%
orcus' curse of decay- hitting a target with negative energy, poison or evil damage has a chance of applying a stacking damage over time effect scaling with spell power dot damage is the same time as the damage from the spell they where hit by

orange socket
purple socket

the scepter should look more like this

dagger should have slime and maul should have dust, any of the weapons that doesnt have a cc effect and has disintegrate should get at least 2 types of damage resistance bypass be it 2 material, 2 alignment or 1 of each

I'm just tired of the lack of direction on loot. or in the game in general, it feels like they are doing things on the way with maybe year and a half of planing but nothing really long term, not in items not in content or even enhacements trees. its like every kid get to play with their toys with no adult supervision. We need someone to take charge and plan things ahead. The quality resonance or rather the lack of quality resonance in the game is a proof of this we havent seen one item since Feywild.. At this point I wish the devs could at least tell us what aims they have for the game, what is their design goals, capacities... or just ask us what do we want... I still remember Sharn when the googles were made and all the exitment around them... I wish we could have more of that

Feather fall is a cheap augment you can put on anything. I welcome more FoM items. I have never, ever seen a FoM scroll, and the cookies are consumables.

Would be nice if they'd add (Lesser) Displacement and FOM Augments, it's nice to have on items but I'd rather Aug that stuff and have the item slots freed up for rare affixes, granting feats, energy drain immunity, 20%+ incorp, legendary accuracy, legendary conditioning, legendary demon shield.

We got the Wraithborne ghostly aug in IOD and nothing since then, and the Lamordia Deathblock/Ghostly combo is for armor only which blows up a ton of sets like IOD, VU 3-pc, etc.

Hell, I'd settle for double-sun/moon augs at least to make up for it if you insist on FOM, Feather Falling, false life/vitality on items
