Alright, a heads-up for all you Acolyte lovers out there. It’s finally coming, as part of the Lich & Necromancer Rework Hype Week Post tomorrow August 13th my 2nd Creator Unique will be revealed within that blog post! It will be available in Season 3 - Beneath Ancient Skies!

It was a very long time in the making and due to some roadmap shifts I postponed it so that it could come together with the Lich overhaul, which makes so much sense to go along each other! I am super excited and hope that you guys will be as stoked as I am!

Just one more day!

Let’s go Heavy! Hopefully this “sells me” another build focusing around this unique (most likely), we will see tomorrow!

My guess is Flay + Harvest. i don’t think it’s harvest 100% because Heavy’s first Unique was around Harvest

I hope it’s a more useful unique, the previous onw always made me a but sad.

What was your first?

Death’s Embrace, the 2H Scythe for Harvest

“useful” is very subjective.
For the purpose of a Harvest build my first one is pretty useful.

I do not desing a unique specifically to be meta or popular, but rather do something that I like thematically.

This new one will definitely be more flexible and will have a broader appeal than Death’s Embrace for sure. If it will be super good or used a lot? I don’t know, but I am certainly looking forward to what people make with it, since it will probably see many different uses compared to Death’s Embrace.

Trying to get me to play around with Acolyte even more, eh Heavy?

Haha yeah, maybe.
I mean it coming together with the overhauls of two of Acolyte’s Masteries makes a lot of sense, this was the reason why it took so long (I could have done it a few patches ago already).

Sicne they are getting overhauled Lich and Necromancer will certainly see a lot of play this season I am sure. Let’s see how many people will test and try my unique, because they either have a Acolyte already or maybe my unique specifically inspires them to do a specific build as Acolyte.

This is true. Unfortunately Death’s Embrace is very rare & I’ve never dropped one & thought fuck yeah, let’s make a build atound this!! which is what makes me sad. But you paid for it so as long as you’re happy with it then that’s the main thing (IMO).

So cool, man. Glad to see it. I hope Death’s Embrace gets some love with this update to all things Acolyte because I really liked that Unique but it’s also really awesome to see you getting another one!

EDIT: By “some love” not I mean not necessarily changed but maybe they’ll be some new interactions because of the huge update to Acolyte that it’ll start seeing some more use.

Don’t get your hopes too high for “new interations”. Death#s Embrace is not really the type of item that has interactiosn to begin with.

But definitely keep an eye out on friday’s patch notes. Everything Lich and Necromancer will get touched. Today’s Dev Blog really was just a few highlights, but definitely not everything.

For anybody who missed it here is my Unique

I also realized that in this Splash Art the Flavour Text of my unique is not visible.

For anybody interested the Flavour Text is:

The Immortal Empire conquered death and brought freedom to humanity. Yet in that freedom, there remained one inevitable certainty… the tax claimed from their very souls.

TBF, it does look more interesting. Maybe if your first one hadn’t been solely for Harvest (which is an objectively bad skill) I wouldn’t feel as bad about the unique.
