Like c’moon. It’s so rare, that 2lp cost now 30 MLN!!!
The worst is, the boots are mandatory to even consider any bleed build viable(besides maybe minion bleed builds).
In addition the lp is 70. Getting 2LP is miracle.
There are so many op builds destroying the content already with so much reachable gear it saddest me that bleed builds are so hard to gear just because of very rare uniques, especially this one.
Please consider lowering the lp to 50 or something. Make the archetype of bleed stacker more popular. I wish I could do more alts with bleeding approach but getting 2lp takes ages. Ages just to brick it where other archetypes can buy 2lp for free from ah.
Oh wow, what an insightful observation! I had no idea rare things were expensive, thank you for enlightening me. Here I was, thinking that the economy of a game should strive for balance and accessibility for all players. Silly me, expecting fairness in a gaming experience. How naive of me to desire that all playstyles have a reasonable chance without breaking the bank. Thank you for reminding me of the harsh realities of virtual economies.
More than giving bleed buffs, those boots are already incredibly strong at 0 LP. More than enough to be used at high levels/corruption. They even already have 30% move speed without slamming move speed onto them through LP, which is something that not all unique boots have.
I know! How harsh is that? Don’t the devs know who the OP is?
It is fair. It’s not even like it’s “necessary” to do a good bleed build, there aren’t many bosses that move around much so the more damage multiplier uptime isn’t going to be massive.
You might not see how big of a problem it is when a unique item becomes essential for a build. Without these boots, the build suffers a lot. But there’s a growing need for an upgrade.
Bleed builds aren’t that strong; they work, but finding the right unique items has always been tough. When you have an item that’s a must-have but hard to improve, it makes the build less effective in late-game situations compared to other classes.
The best example to prove your naive thinking is just a glance at Jelkor’s Blast Knife.
It is literally a gatekeeper for a specific build. More to that. Very effective build that can carry you to 1k corruption easily. You know how much 2 lp cost? 5mln. I had plenty of them from drops. Many of them with lp.
And this is fine. There is no problem in that such items exist. The item is fair and balanced in drops. But compared to the boots it’s silly.
Whole bleed archetype is gatekeeped by boots because it has 50%+ for dmg multiplier.
And this IS the problem. The archetype isn’t just a gimmick build. It should be more accessible, There are no good bleed builds without this.
Good rolled 5 affix items are more easily to find and craft than hunting those boots.
Of course, because who needs significant damage boosts anyway. Bleed duration is just a minor detail, nothing to worry about. Thanks for downplaying the importance of maximizing damage output.
Why does that make the boots thing silly? The effect on the base drop doesn’t change with LP.
There’s only 2 items in the game that have an effect scale directly with LP and they’re both from the same boss that was created for the LP-mechanic. Those are also guaranteed to have LP (although 2+ LP chance kinda sucks, but that’s a topic specific to the LP guarantee mechanic)
But for the boots, there isn’t even a single Bleed-focused stat you could get on them through LP. They even have extra Movement speed so yo don’t need to try and get that through LP/ Nothing you put on there would suddenly make Bleed builds scale beyond hit/minion builds, so LP is not needed.
The only things those boots are missing is some bootstraps you can pull yourself up with.
I’m sorry, but are you stuck in the campaign or just focused on farming 100 corruption?
It seems like you completely ignored my comparisons to other builds and arguments about late-game accessibility.
In such way I can argue that you do not need any unique, you can just farm 100 corruption with yellow gear. What’s your point in this besides gaslighting for fun. I fail to see any other reason for you to offer opinions on something you haven’t even played.
Boot’s affixes are one of huge boosts to hp pool that is mandatory to survive from one shots.
Let’s take uniques from your characters. Make those 70+ lp, cost 100mln and say it’s fair because anyone can farm 100 mln and you don’t need it anyway…
Devs want to balance endgame on 300 corruption. They haven’t achieved this because all builds can easily pass it. Yes, even bleed builds. Comparing your build to 1k corruption is setting yourself for failure because these are anomalies that shouldn’t exist and are simply a caused by the broken balance we currently have.
And what you’re asking is “broken builds can reach 1k corruption. Please break my build so I can do the same”.
3/6 Uniques have atleast 70 LP level. I even have a rare equipped!
I have done 300+ corruption bosses just fine, (which is the dev benchmark btw) although the Lightning Resistance I dropped on my old chest does make me approach certain fights differently.
And I fully levelled as that build, so I actually had no functional uniques during that, and did T4 Soulfire for the weapon just fine.
So, T5 Hybrid Health on boots wouldn’t even give me 10% extra HP, and effectively maybe around 2-3% EHP. Are you saying I could hop and skip all the way to 600 corruption if I just had some Hybrid Health on boots (or belt?) Who’s the one gaslighting now?
I appreciate your perspective but also I believe a natural border is higher even if 300 is a goal.
I’m not asking for my build to be broken; rather, I’m advocating for a balanced endgame experience where builds are challenged at appropriate corruption levels.
2lp gatekeeper shouldn’t be that rare. That’s my point.
Make bleeds less dependent on the item, or make it more common. Idc the solution. I am pointing out the problem. And the problem is that hunting the boots 2lp is like hunting other 3lp uniques.
It is absurdly much more effort than any other most common builds.
My comparison should showcase to you that even gimmick builds has much more easier time with gearing than bleed archetypes.
Your point? Just because something is accessible doesn’t mean it’s balanced. If an item were to cost 10,000 billion gold, could I say it’s balanced just because you can eventually reach that amount after years of farming?
Calling T5 hybrid boots not a significant boost… Yea sure… Anything more from a gaslighting troll who haven’t even played the archetype or never used the item? Just go somewhere else give your shallow opinions somewhere else. It is not reddit.
Given the content each reaches, devs are more likely to make the knife LP more rare than the boots LP less rare, as that aligns more with their intended corruption level.
I said it was 2-3% EHP for that build. But If you call that insignificant, that’s your choice, don’t blame me for your opinion.
And little boy, if your arguments are down to “liar liar, pants on fire”, “you don’t know what it’s like!” and just the most basic internet insults, you really have lost the discussion already.
You want the best loot. It’s rare. Deal with it. Don’t play random loot games if you can’t handle not getting what you want in the timeframe you want it.
It’s hilarious how you enter the topic with a sarcasm and continue the “conversation” with gaslighting, ending it with brave claims that I’ve never made arguments, when you clearly avoid aspects that I point out. You’re the classic type who jumps into any conversation without a clue, yet feels entitled to make assertions on every topic.
Feel free to quit the “discussion”, it wasn’t intended for you anyway.
Too hard to elaborate? I can’t point out the balance issue on the item or what?
The game is disbalanced. I am free to point it out. Deal with it. If you can’t handle a feedback, don’t enter the section of the forum dedicated for it. Oh, I get it, you’re all about defending your precious game, but at least try to come up with something more substantial than “it’s rare, deal with it”.
I pointed out the item. Described the problem and compared it to other things. I made a general idea for devs to consider it. If you don’t agree, make your own with logic and argumentation. Otherwise, you’re just another keyboard warrior with nothing but hot air.
