World Hive Accessories Boosts

Hive Accessories Boosts Suggestion
=========================================================​

HI, before anyone complain about this being one of those buff thread, just hear me out. I have divide my argument into 4 sections to help you guys navigate.

---> Support Counts: 19 <---​

Current Situation
Accessories are used to provide the player some extra buffs to aid their combat, various combination can be used to suit different builds. Currently the Hive Accessories are obtained by finishing The Qira Hive quest are the following:

Ring - Intensity: Spell Dmg and Elemental Dmg boost
Bracelet - Prowess: 4 Skill Points in each catagory
Necklace - Contrast: "generally helpful"

All Hive Accessories provide some amount of health boost
Detailed Explanation ---> WIKI


Reasoning
Being one of the award option for the supposing end game boss, the accessories now feel like they are underpowered for the following reasons

Easier Obtainable Counterparts
Intensity: Aurora
Prowess: Jester Ring or Necklace

Underpowered Health Boost
If you are capable of wearing the Hive Accessories, you are level 100, which most have over 8-10k health depending on builds.
The current hive accessories provide only 150,250 and 200 health, which is very insignificant making around 2-5% of the total health of the player, not helpful enough to become a factor for the player to choose an accessory over the Hive Armor or Weapon

Not Significant Enough
Compare to these accessories that only give a slight boost, players rather using them in weapons and armors.
Although some might argue that people can choose the accessories when they have a end game build in mind, most rather save it for the next class that MIGHT use it, this account for most people saving on the hive voucher instead of using it.


Concrete Suggestions
These concrete suggestions are to provide an insight for a buffed version of the accessories, I tried to made them a bit buffed but remain balance that would not give the player drastic boost

Intensity Ring
Health: 300
Spell DMG: 10%
Elemental DMG: 8%

Prowess Bracelet
Health: 500
Skill Point Boost: +6 in each skill

Contrast Necklace
Health: 400
Soul Pt Regen: +10%
Walk Speed: +10%
Explosion: +10%
Reflection: +10%
Poison: +150/3


Counter Argument and Rebuttal
This section is to address some questions and doubts by commenters

Debuffs
"The Jester Rings have XP and Loot debuffs that make them not as good as Hive Accessories"
1- You are lv100, I doubt you need XP
2- Builds are mostly used for combat, for XP and Loot people will use grinding gears

Informations
- Comment without flame and hate
- Pretty sure asking for likes is bannable

 

Seems like a good idea but I'm too lazy to leave a comment. Oh wait...

 

They do need a buff because right now they don't feel worth a master voucher.

 

Those items really need a buff, because right now no-one uses them because people know they can get better items with their master voucher, like armour. An example right now is that there are items which are near their stats already and they should stand out, for example, prowess has 20 skill point buffs but a jester bracelet gets 10, and there is little difference. Good idea.

 

Pretty sure asking for likes is bannable. I recommend that you use a poll

 

According to Salted, those values were overpowered when I initially suggested them. I would like them to be more powerful as well, but Salted has the final say in how items are balanced, and he said these were already rather strong.

 

Full jester set gives stat bonuses that are tripled to that of prowess. Not to mention the full set bonuses are much more powerful. Contrast's bonuses are so low they might as well not exist, same goes for Intensity.

 

the only thing that needs a buff right now is Pandemonium...

like... honestly...
