Shimmersight: New Design

I don't think they're asking the community to redesign the concept of the item.

Also giving an item new IDs will split into 2 versions of it, which will only cause more problems. If they had to It'd just be better to make a whole new item entirely with the version of Shimmersight you proposed in your post.

 

Actually, why not make Shimmersight a Legendary Item instead? I believe you can change the rarity of the item.

 

Gathering input from everyone. Shimmersight needs a mana regen nerf, but a maximum of 2 mana regen cannot exist, which means 1 mana regen max is the only nerf possible for it. But a lot of people think this will break builds, so what’s going to be a nerf? HP was a few suggestions, and I think this will be appropriate as well because it’s currently too good not to use for a slappable item. I just don’t know what’s the appropriate amount of HP it should have. Disagree if you want, but no clear reasonable suggestion is being outputted here.

 

its still overpowered

 

A general consensus has been reached between item team, content team, and community, and the new design has been posted. Thanks for your help.

 

Memedust but slappable.
I'm fine with this.

 

everything else makes sense, but we should still get 1-2 if possible in the future. That'd be way better for the helmet and still not make it OP. I'm overall very happy with the new design though.

 

I mean if you made the old one unusable, then had people trade it for the new one...?

 

rip Shimmersight, never forgetti
thanks buddy

 

The health changes are fine, it’s mostly the xp and Mana Regen trade off. If the item’s purpose is to only solo bosses, then the Mana Regen should have stayed the same and the xp and loot bonus nerfed hard. -10% xp and -30% loot bonus is pretty easy to overcome, so it’s still viable for grinding, which goes against the whole point of the item. I can understand why people think the Mana Regen was too much, but reducing the Mana Regen by 2 breaks builds more than nerfing the sp by 1 or 2. Mana Regen was already nerfed enough with the ID change, and people can still use plenty of other sp items like Prism, Vaward, and Fissure.

Overall, the xp should not have been buffed at all and the Mana Regen shouldn’t have been nerfed.

 

Yea RIP a no req helmet with +5 in all, mana regen, rainbow ele def %10. Totally trash now amirite?

I'm being sarcastic if you couldn't tell.

@Selvut283 give us the 1-2 again. We don't want 1-2 attack, just the mana. 1-2 attack is broken. 1-2 mana is balanced. #BringBackOldIntegers

 

The issue is that if they bring back 1-2 Mana, then items like Dark Channeler and Paradox can have 2 mana regen again.

 

Not if we added decimal integers, then we could do it at will :3
Dark Channeler could have 2 mana steal and 1 mana regen max, if we wanted, for example!

 

why did it get 7% more elemental difference, is that even a difference

 

my thoughts exactly. we need to be able to choose which stats have what more precisely, and not make blanket changes to all items, therefore we need a new system that allows for such changes, then 'import' the old items into the new system so that they have the same stats, then create threads like this to ask what items people think need changes to their mana and other stats.

 

massive reduction for little buff

 

Yeah, it's called a nerf.

Should have nerfed loot and xp bonus hard then.
