As @Llama8 pointed out, the Amulet doesn’t give much benefit, if you don’t have any HP Regen (which you should not build anyway) and don’t have any other sources of heal or hp gain, you will sit around 20-50 HP.
If you take all the HP Drain Nodes in Acolyte and Lich (which all grant very usefull benefits) your HP will be even lower.
While the amulet is great for a pure ward regenerating physical build, just for the Low Health Ward Builds that use Last Step of The Living and Exangunious it’s not worth using, at all.
We are talking about 5-15 more ward/sec with that amulet. That’s not a lot. Having a good T5 Health Roll on a regular amulet, will give you 66-88 More maximum health, which will translate into roughly 20-30 Ward/sec more.
Agreed… The amulet isnt that much of a benefit… However it does help in certain situations = like the number of times i have died because of auto pickup potions that heal me and therefore drop my ward low life generation at precisely the wrong moment. I really would like a game setting that disabled auto potion pickup cause its seriously irritating for low life builds… At the moment the ammy is the only way to negate this irritation…
In the context we are talking about here, you WANT to be as low health as possible.
(Because missing health = more ward/sec)
And since it all current health drain/sec you will never die from it.
If you want to use this on a build, that don’t use low-health ward uniques you defintiely want to use Crimson Gluttony 5/5 in Acolyte and 10/10 Volatile Blood in Lich, to reduce the Health Drain by 75%
It’s ok, this is a bit off-topic anyway, since that specific interaction doesn’t even is the main focus point on my OP, since you don’t have to play “low health ward” for the Life’s Journey Interaction.
I am not even sure how we get to this point of discussion LOL
This is not relevant to the main topic in this thread, so i will not dive deeper into this.
Feel free to start your own discussion.
I am still wondering how this thread ended up talking about those unique mechanics, when i not mentioned them in one single word in the OP. (I only used them in the video showcase)
Yeah that’s true, but still not sure why the discussion did get so big so fast
I will not do a Unique Show Case of the low health ward uniques for sure, since they are probably some of the most used uniques ever, every time i see someone talking about “I have a low-health [insert any class]” they use those uniques like 95% of the time. And it’s getting boring.
Your suggested Unique Amulet Xithara’s Conundrum is definitely a very interesting Unique to build around, but i don’t have any pratical experience using it as the solely build defining unique. Maybe i will do something in the future.
All i can say is, that I still think it’s not worth using in conjunction with those Low-Health Ward Uniques.
The Only Time i could see some1 using this (or maybe Boulderfists if they are not a Lich) is to negate the HP Regen or Leech coming from another Unique Item they want to use together with those.
When the patch drops I will first observe how all the different Uniques will be used by the community and i will probably pick the ones that I feel are underused.
And I still have some Ideas for current Uniques too, so let’s see.
But there are so many amazing Uniques next Patch we already know of, can’t wait to see all the ones, we don’t know about.
