shrine belt will be absolutely nerfed before live right?

so from what i seen the belt can roll 1 offensive 1 defensive shrine idk if it can roll echoing shrine even if it cant this belt would still be the most op item in the game becuz you could use the gull and blunder armor for combined of 150% inreased shrine effect on you you can also use the ascendy with +1 extra ring in return for not able to use flasks to basically nulify the downside of shrine belt but surely devs know this and they will nerf the belt?

Think it's meant to be a competitor for mageblood and like mageblood, power is balanced with scarcity. We dont know how available the belt will be and its fine for rare items to be powerful.

Utility flasks are also responsible for a large portion of character power by endgame, leaving them out of a build is a pretty big trade off. extra ring slot or not.

extra ring slot for all your flasks is massive if you are using shrine belt becuz that means you nulify the downside not to mention the new catalysts make all your suffix/preffix stronger so thats a massive buff to helical rings wich you can use now +1 more due to ascendy so not able to use flasks means nothing if your belt gives more than your flasks could give

not sure i understand what you mean by nullify the downside, could you explain?
1 ring =/= 4 utility flasks of power, unless im missing something.
2 shrines buffs =/= 4 utility flasks of power.

I get the two mechanics share the same restriction, but that doesnt mean combining them nullifies it. it makes it a convenient combo.


*Also shrine buffs aren't exclusive to these uniques, other builds can get them without sacrificing a gear slot. Speccing into shrines on the atlas is already great cause it adds natural packs to maps. I normally have more than 1 active when clearing.

Shrine belt raised my hype level to 10. Since it's a league boss drop there should be a million of them dropping even if it's a 1% chance.

Echoing is out of the question broken. They can't let you have that. Acceleration is ridiculously broken too but GGG could probably let it go for one league. Gloom, Diamond, and Acceleration + resistance are all Mageblood-tier power and Acceleration + Resistance is better than Mageblood. "Bricking" your defensive and getting Replenishing or Impenetrable can still be build defining.

How do you balance it? Make it rotate the buffs (this would SUCK, everyone would hate it) or give 50% less global shrine effect I suppose. Acceleration + Resistance would still be busted with 50% less global shrine effect unless you made Gull not work with it too.

well if you gonna use shrine belt and it makes you not able to use flasks anyway then you might aswell capitilaze on it and just also pick +1 ring ascendy since it has drawback to not able to use flasks and theres really broken combos you can get with shrines

First time when I saw this belt, I said, meh who the hell is gonna use this, I mean Gull was a thing and no one used it outside some people...

But now thinking about it, it does seem better than mageblood somehow in the long term
