New items and craftable mods for atlas of worlds/essence

Mulla, do you really want every bow user to run around with a brood twine? Lol no thank you! I know I'm biased because I have an active mirror service thread (and is honestly now my only source of orbs really since I'm casual AF now), but mirrors are cheaper than they have been in a long time. With master daily recipes, loot filters, currency flipping, lab runs/enchant service, divination cards, and premium tab API, it should be easier than ever - even if you don't speak any language at all.

And then there are still moments of luck etc. Everyone waits for that jump-off moment, whether it be dropping a sick item or some item you had in your stash that turns legacy and/or becomes extremely useful.

My first 2 big jump-offs

Back in beta, the only really good MF build I knew of back then was the MF totem sporker. My buddy and I two-man farmed Kole at Lunaris 2 all summer long. We pooled together everything we got to get him a shavs first, then me a soul taker. I stood in town and got the shittiest, cheapest rolled soul taker I could find. We had only one divine orb between us, and I used it and rolled 198/24/24, a 4-off perfect. When they went legacy, I traded it straight across for my first mirror weapon, The 1H RT Long Sword, Gale Bane. I want to say mirrors were around 170 at the time.

Before I was 2H, I was dual wield BoR with 75/65 block with no shield. Since my background consisted mainly of BoR or Kaoms, I really valued high resistance rings. I bought a 3 t1 res +12% implicit prismatic for about 3ex and just had a shitty 40life master crafted to it. I phased it out, but never sold it because I never thought I'd get what I wanted off of it, put it in my stash and forgot about it. When Meta-modding came out, I wiped the 2 shit suffixes off of it, and sold it for 90ex in under a day. 5ex and 1 scour investment turned into 90ex.

Even if they all had "Brood Twine" quality bows it wouldn't change anything. A bow of that magnitude isn't even required right now to totally trash content and PvP. Most people we face on standard are already in the best gear and sporting Brood Twine. The balance is on its head as it is and letting the average player have better access to gear via crafting is a good thing imo. It's not like a handout, getting those exalts together etc.. isn't easy in itself. It still takes a ridiculous amount of grinding for the average player to gather the essence, exalts, item bases and master levels. Id be willing to wager most players wouldn't even be able to get that far in the first place. Now being able to essence craft an entire item was stupid, sure. If they could of found a way to limit 1 essence per item then allowed master crafting it would just alleviate some of the RNG and allow people to make gear a few notches above what they can now and that would be ideal.

All us veteran players have had many "jump off" moments. Thing is the way the economy is now, most items aren't worth much. Yes, today it takes a fraction what it once took to get into good gear. Yes, it also takes less quality gear to mow content as well now a days. Still I can't help but think if they didn't implement this feature, half ass it like everything else they do. Actually have a way to limit 1 essence per item, we'd see a much better game.

Think this goes full circle to the beginning. Why do bows even have that damage potential in the first place + quiver + range archtype + trap synergy + evasion/acrobatics/phase acrobatics + godlike crit potential + ascendancy classes.

Fuck up much?

Oh wait, they have no defenses (Rupenus)... 7-12k life + dodge/evasion/1hit kill power in multiple forms + godlike run speed/pathfinder and mirror/blink arrows = glass cannon bro. Edit: Forgot block, yea they get block too.

I enter PvP as melee but have to resort to a bow with EA/Blast rain to even manage most match ups now a days...brilliant.

GGG balance team

True, true.

one of you, make LA build. i can beat my build with at least 5 different chars.

HoT one shots me,
crit EQ one shots me,
vortex one shots me,
inq EA 2-3 shots me if im not on rumi flask.
KB one shots me from more distance i can even think of

in pvp if you ont have more movespeed than rangers(anyhow by whirling, by leap slam, by actual movespeed whatever), or better range, your build means shit actually.

Getting lvl 8 masters first in leagues is already a big economical advantage, adding the ability to craft gg items would make the difference between the top X% and the rest of the players even bigger.

The itemisation is already much easier than it was years ago, and that means your drops worth less, and there is less incentive to pick up drops / do MF etc. Easier top tier crafting would make this even worse.

Can't think of much for the mace since I don't melee (ST maybe?)

Amulet seems to have potential.

That ring however can be pretty nice. Specifically for incinerate, but still awesome for freezing pulse, ball lightning, etc.

Those uniques are trash for T16 boss rewards that you have to farm the ENTIRE map roster to reach.
I reckon only the Shaper may have something interesting and maybe one or two niche uniques from the 4 other bosses.

Deadeye dual snakepit, KB, FW combo crashing sarn in 5........4.........3.........2........
