Hiya this is a thread where people can post a link to an older item they think needs a rework or something added to it like maybe a higher drop rate/better LP chance. @EHG_Mike suggested in dev chat a few months back that I should do this here.
This is for OLDER items. I started in S02 last year so for me it would be any item before then. I’ll be doing items I would like to use/have tried. I only really play sent/rogue and some primalist.
I’d list more maces but there is a clear lack of them in game atm.
Please use in brackets (RW) for rework and (DR) for drop rate/higher LP for items you probably have never seen LP3 of, EVER due to 1 in 3 million etc no point in saying you can have an LP3 if it is close to impossible and highly improbable ie LP4 red ring. Having both (RW) or (DR) means the item is not strong/fun/good enough with current drop rate so rework it please or if you don’t want to rework it please allow it to drop more consistently LP2+ as it probably drops bad base with 0LP / LP1 far to often.
If you have an idea for a rework that’s fine try not make it too long like 99% of my shit posts, lol.
PLEASE DO NOT CRITICISE SOMEONE ELSES OPINION It’s their opinion, the choice is down to the developers not to those of us posting this is just so they can see thoughts and potentially consider an idea if THEY agree with it. Arguing or criticising will just derail the thread.
2H Swords
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRlA4GYg - Leviathan Carver (RW) I think it would be cool to have a damage modifier on this maybe a specificly unique one due to it being a giant sword maybe remove the crit avoidance modifier and add something like 10% chance on hit to go into an frenzy or doing double dmg for a few seconds I dunno, I’m not that creative… ORRRR (DR) the drop rate when farming for this is horrible and when it drops its base stats roll poorly and the LP percent is also very low
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMCYEZyA - Eternal Eclipse (RW) - too niche with the modifiers I have experimented with this sword on 3 builds, VK/Pally and it isn’t viable past a few hundred corruption. You can only really get this sword with low LP as well from a decently high corruption which makes that whole point kind of null~
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsGYEYE4g - Merophage (RW!!!) epic base idea but having tinkered with this and a small group of friends doing it too with double and triple T7s this sword does not seem to ever go anywhere near the items you’re sacrificing which in most cases are better to use as a base item. I am not sure how to fix this other than adding much better base stats or changing how the shattering interacts to allow more chance for a double T7 + others, 100s of items were harmed in the making of this film.
1H Swords
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCMoFgZiA - Gladiators Oath (RW) sword is designed for a skill that’s really clunky and even with the modifiers on it which are pretty nifty it pales in comparision for end game vs scissors, eye of reen or even a good rolled weavers gift. Maybe buff it up and make it harder to get/drop? It does drop easy and with lots of LP but even when slammed its 22 base melee dmg vs 73 melee base dmg, 15% attack speed and +2 level of melee attacks it has no chance. Especially when scissors rolls a T7 attack speed etc
1H Maces
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwDmI - Bloodgeon (RW) just feels like a kind of nothing, single handed mace builds aren’t that common over all as it is. I’ve asked for more single handed maces.
2H Maces
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRhGYDYBYg - Event Horizon (RW) or (DR) - crazy low LP chance with bad base. Due to debuff only really used with Shield Bash. Looks epic, could be epic. No clue what could be done to it~
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEZQJiA - Bhuldar’s Wrath (RW) or (DR) low drop rate with lp/good base stats - fun sound mods on it but really lack luster when used in build to accompany it even when very geared up character is using it.
Spears
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwjMHYEYg - Phalanx (RW) (newer I know) since the fractal tree drop rate is good and the spear is amazing this makes the phanlax kind of pointless. I’ve seen a few videos of guys with lp3s and insane slams using it for various builds and they still say “over all its not as good as the tree”
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsEYCZiA - Trident of the last Abyss (DR!!) or (RW buff) I did an epic VK build with this spear this season and farming it was a nightmare as it’s a chance drop rate, chance to roll good, chance to roll good with LP lol - I had 26 stash tabs full of these, multiple times and couldn’t turtle / nem any lp3 - I had some good lp2s but even with a 77 roll my good clothos and my lp2 WS was better over all. Spear looks epic, feels cool but needs a little something added or higher base or chance to roll LP3 more often when farming for weeks.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMCZwNiA - Tu’rani’s Bident (RW buff)
Staves Awesome weapon, was amazing pre Fractal Tree - Bident builds have mana sustain issues and over all less dmg than a fully phys build and the fully phys was insanely hard to kill uber with, not even close with bident. I think it could be a higher level item with more dmg added to make it more used again because it looks flipping cool when you use it with smite.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCswdgZiA - Plague Bearers (DR) wicked item but again the base drops have a huge range and you struggle to get a nice one and when you do its generally low or no LP - I think this item would be used more if it rolled higher LP / smaller range - 10% to 200% is the biggest I’ve seen on any item in LE. Sick item, sick modifiers love it, just need better ones to play with. LP3 of this I think I’ve seen but had a terrrrrible base and you can’t really re-roll lp3s if they hardly ever ever drop lol
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMCYA4E4g - Bo’s Anarchy (RW) melee dmg and melee attack speed for an item used for levels on a throwing skill, spell dmg same thing. Cool idea but could do with some more synergys on the item even if it means making it level 70 or 85. Generally shuriken builds use traits or shards. You might find one to level with but even with the +3 to shuriken it’s not that great. Traitors drops more so you’d always swap to that. Easy to get with a couple of runes at the vendor too.
Daggers - Due to Traitors Tongue being so good the following need a buff (RW) imo. Jelkhor’s is good but melee det arrow mana cost makes it very pointless. Maybe add a mana stat or mana on hit etc
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMCZQNiA - Drought’s release
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsCYA4FYg - Jelkhor’s Blast Knife
Explained these 2 daggers later in comments
Shields
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgzMCsxA - The Slab (RW) kinda shit. Weavers shield dominates this and most shields even at end game with good rolls.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAw4VgRiA - Close Call (RW) kinda shit. Weavers shield dominates this and most shields even at end game with good rolls.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgrATCxA - Flayer’s Pride (DR) cool shield again never seen an lp3. Doesn’t always drop, then chance for bad base, low / no LP. Same thing with trident - spent weeks farming but never saw a 3, couldn’t make one either.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRg7CCcAcQ - Bastion of Honour (DR) - one of the rarest items I’ve seen in this game, nutty!
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRjFZyA - Horns of Uhkeiros (DR) drops ok but insanely hard to get LP2s I think might be the higest 1: in rate for any LP2 in the game (same as event horizon)
Helms
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCsCZKA Prismatic Gaze (DR) ultra rare.
Body Armor
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAswRgJiA - Yrun’s Wisdom (RW) very common but if you have a krestel or urzils pride which you probably do while levelling you’ll skip this armor as it offers nothing because you don’t need life while doing the campaign and you don’t need a bit of cold damage. The campaign is easy we all know that so this item is generally left on the ground, generally. Needs something to make it worth wearing and maybe if you do that lower the drop rate to make it harder to get, dunno.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsCYFZKA - Core of the Mountain (DR!!!) tiny chance to drop from a boss in a dungeon, then when it does drop superrrr low LP rate and base rolls have a big range for armor. Have never seen it outside of dungeon where as I have seen boots, shield and helm commonly using node in weavers tree.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEYFYGYg - Wings of Argentus (DR) horrible rolls on base and low drop rate chance for LP combined.
Gloves
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCcEYA4HYg - Salt the Wound (DR omg LP) flipping awesome gloves, like cool af stats and idea but them actually dropping is superrrrr low and then you have to pray if they do they get LP - In 1500 hours I’ve seen one pair lp2 and I bricked them, not fun times haha! Could make the glove timeline percentage higher so they’re easier to at least get a pair or a boss to farm, even with prophecies out the butt hole you’ll hardly see a pair and they are usually 0 or sometimes lp1.
Boots
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwjMFZiA - Flight of Quetzeri (RW) not really meant for end game but due to movement speed on mourning frost or rolled weavers etc they’re not really that good I don’t even use them when levelling a primalist. If the fury leap cool down was even higher maybe then you could bounce around more as primalist but yeah even with haste + fury leap the +7 move speed vs 30 just seems slower.
My 2 cents - I have personally tried everything I have listed here especially the weapons with multiple builds. Once I get past a week in game and can slam items with double T7s or more all my items armor, helm, trinkets, rings etc will all be slammed with T7 or T77 or 777 so when I do add the weapon to a build its as close to optimal as you can get so if it’s still lacking in damage that’s the reason why I’ve personally addressed the issue - I also do play at high corruption NOT A BRAG so the item might be viable at early end game which is cool but then drops off and you replace it with the same old clothos or world splitter etc
