I had some ideas for uniques, and thought I would share them and invite others to share their own ideas! The important part here is the ideas, so please don’t get too hung up on the numbers if they are a bit off.
Gaze of the Abyss
Helmet
Disintegrate’s base damage is converted to void
Chance to shock and ignite per second with Disintegrate is converted to chance to inflict Time Rot
When you inflict 12 stacks of Time Rot on an enemy, all stacks are consumed to deal their remaining damage instantly
Lightning Coil
Boots
+1 Static
Gain (20-30) Static charges per second while channelling (if that is too narrow, while stationary)
Cast Static when you start moving (or maybe just lose all charges when you move?)
Cannot gain or have Static charges while moving
Grasp of Fire
Gloves
Lightning Blast’s base damage converted to fire
Shock chance converted to Ignite chance for Lightning Blast
Lightning Blast deals damage in a (60-90) degree cone
Lightning Blast has 50% more area for each time it would have chained.
Please feel free to provide feedback or your own item ideas!
Apothecary Mutagen
Unique Putrid Souls
Your poison resist has no cap. you can become poison immune if you have 100% poison resist after factoring penetration and shred on you
You are poisoned every second
(200% - 300%) increased poison damage
Name: Memento Mortem
Type: Unique idol
Effect: Summon 2~4 tombstones near the target when you hit a rare enemy or boss with 1 second cool down.
The tombstones are destroyable. They can be target, damaged, applied ailments, and destroyed by your attacks, but your minions will not target them.
When destroyed, the tombstone deals some amount of damage to nearby enemies and has X% chance to drop potions.
Remember death.
Damage isn’t the main selling point of Memento Mortem. The tombstones can be used to trigger on kill effects, which can be useful during boss fight.
Crown of Elements
Gilded Crown
+x% elemental penetration / chance to shred elemental resistances
+x% area with elemental nova
Elemental nova casts fire, ice and lightning nova in a triangle around you.
A try for a multi-element mage item.
Elemental penetration / shred is generic, not relegated to elemental nova.
The novas are cast in a small triangle, area does not increase the distance at which the novas are cast, so if you have sufficient area you can get them to overlap.
Shattered blade of Drathal
Broken Sword
+appropriately balanced damage mods
+x% chance to throw X umbral blades on melee hit.
I love these threads.
Don’t even know where to start.
Echoes from the past
Unique Amulet or Relic
+(40-60)% echo chance
You deal (70-90)% less damage (this does not affect echoes)
Your echoes deal (80-120)% more damage
Flavour: You are just a mere echo of yourself. The Future is only a possibility, the present has no meaning, but the past can truely shatter ones existance.
Understood. This is very similar to flamethrower trap from PoE (ignoring the fact that the trap needs to be triggered). Flamethrower Trap is a spell that throws a trap when activated, summons a rotating pillar of flame, rapidly dealing fire damage to enemies touching it.
Overall a very cool skill.
Balance-wise it probably needs to have an upper limit on the number of discoballs that you can have active.
Also, does it shotgun? If I place the spinny laser thing on top of a boss, is the boss going to be hit by all lasers?
