This patch invalidates the Baron, please do not forget about it.

The original idea for The Baron, was for it to be on a Bone Helmet and much rarer.
But at the time they were not allowing Unique Items on those "new" base types, at least not supporter ones. When it got nerfed i was i think offered a compromise , As the main reason for the nerf was SRS. The idea for the Strength Mod to be changed to something similar to "Your Strength is added to your Minions not Created Recently" , So you'd summon your zombies and after 4s they would get your strength, SRS on the other hand would not (unless seriously specing into Duration) The other alternative which may have allowed 100% Strength was only giving it to your Zombies, I declined this as i liked the idea of Iron Will Minion Builds being a thing, Like a Iron-Will Flame Golem build etc, Or even STR Stacking Dom Blow. And with the new Animate Weapon Gems, STR Stacking Brutus Lead Sprinkler. These odd type of builds. I'ved ask for Reworks, and or Replica Versions.. If i was getting a Rework it would probably not be what people would want, it would Focus Heavily on being more Defensive. anyway, im glad there are still Baron Fans out there. <3 | |

" I expect it to be pretty powerful as a survival trait; not quite a zoom zoom, and probably reduced later or split into recoup/steal later. When applied to a zoomancer; a build with the mostest summons, it should be very strong. " :D every x zombies you have currently alive increases your curse limit by 1. But seriously, whatever happens to it, if anything. Its not got enough armour. More would be really nice if its to make a return. ----------- this change and the unholy might change look really nice, might actually get a poison/chaos build going. ---------------- " The crit changes in minion gear and minion crit skills in the tree can replace the +2skills on the damage path. While making it less simple to just +levels and GG. The hats also have +2 all minions now, and thats just a crumbled cookie. The life pool reductions are more constricting on exploding minions too.

Like a huge array of things they overnerfed they could just undo the original nerf allow full STR and this item would be solid and useful again.
Making Zombies from Meh to trash by removing their slam is all the nerf this Helm needed to be returned to its former use case. "only 10% of players care about melee" - Aesop's Fox if he was a GGG dev "when you die in this game, typically you're getting one shot, you're dieing in one frame; almost always" -Ben_ Last edited by alhazred70 on Mar 28, 2024, 3:58:06 PM
