This belt will see use in Cluster Jewel builds and some more niche interactions, but not as generic of a use as Mageblood. The Nameless Bloodline is good on its own, not made more attractive because of this belt. And you won't necessarily want to use it just because of this belt. Fact is, outside of the 2 clearly busted variations, there are powerful ones and some that are mostly pointless in your average build. It's a very strong belt, and completely OP if Acceleration and Echoing can roll on it as is in their current state, which I doubt will be the case, but other than that it's just "okay". What I'm more worried about is that it's gonna be allowed to stack with the shrine specific items. There clearly needs to be a balance pass. If it stays as is with the shrines being the way they are, it's clearly busted af, but I have my doubts it will. I just refuse to believe GGG didn't think of that. If it goes live as is, disregard what I said. instant flasks and tinctures and why does it matter if the 2 shrine buffs you gonna get will give you more bonuses than 5 flasks would you? not to mention +1 ring and that ascendy is definitely made more attractive becuz of this belt idk what you on about Last edited by NukeFonKillazz#4119 on Mar 5, 2026, 3:18:32 AM	Posted by NukeFonKillazz#4119 on Mar 5, 2026, 3:17:32 AM Quote this Post
They're really gonna hold the nerfs in their back pocket til the last second, aren't they? Or will Gull + Blunderbore both be T0s this league?	Posted by DiabloImmoral#7632 on Mar 6, 2026, 7:47:16 AM Quote this Post

I think they nerfed Charged and Replenishing because they allowed for complete immortality (it was possible to get 100% of mana regenerated per second + MoM) and that's something that is not allowed. Others won't be nerfed like Doryani wasn't which was 200%+ more lightning damage during Merc. And Doryani was common unique. Next league they will probably nerf it.

" The Eye of Terror Divination Card has been updated, and now rewards a Foulborn Mageblood. Btw Mageblood may be cheap this league too. +1 div card (foulborn is effectively same as normal).	Posted by Hornsent#1110 on Mar 6, 2026, 8:50:39 AM Quote this Post

That item was already in the game and people all over the league had already heavily invested into it. The whole Merc interaction was unintended, they have said so, and decided against a mid-league nerf. And in case you forgot, Mercs did not go core. There is no more easy Doryani's abuse like this, thus doesn't warrant a nerf over nothing.

The new belt is a fresh goal for this league for the players that play a ton of hours and farm a lot of currency. It has a clear funtion: To be the new number one chase item in the game. They are not gonna nerf it is my guess, if anything they make the op shrine combos more rare to roll or the belt is extremely rare anyways. Also, those interactions with other uniques are clearly intented and not accidents. You lose item slots, including the belt slot which also has Mageblood as an option. The helm slot might be very important for some builds like minions or if you desperately need additional mana reservation or you have to say goodbye to heatshiver or whatever... It's not for free. And you are not gonna have one in week 1 of the league anyways... Last edited by Strickl3r#3809 on Mar 6, 2026, 9:43:24 AM	Posted by Strickl3r#3809 on Mar 6, 2026, 9:42:05 AM Quote this Post

The belt is also league specific for now and they can always nerf the belt in next league (Which would be better than nerfing shrines)	Posted by Hornsent#1110 on Mar 6, 2026, 11:00:31 AM Quote this Post

" feral_nature#7076 wrote: well ive just watched some dude identify like 300 of them and it was all trash. Good. No, really. Now I have no complaints, even though all the ones I have ID'd were all trash, too. :) If there's gonna be such OP belts, then it's good that they are so rare. If you pay 3-4 mirrors for 1 item slot, I say you deserve it. I assumed they were gonna be far more common. That kinda balances it out.

I would say they will introduces more lesser shrine and included in the pool just to murk it. or they will divide some of the power shrine like divide max res and resistances.	Posted by TeddieJohan#4273 on Mar 15, 2026, 8:47:29 AM Quote this Post
