Info Item Team Thread - Item/ingredient/major Id Changes, Updates & More (updated 28/03/2020)

Because people seem to be confused about the ingredient/recipe changes I'll clear some things up.

1. Positive durability ingredients are no longer getting reworked. Their designs and stats remain the same but the durability numbers are increased by 75%.
2. The 75% increase to base durability on recipes and durability costs on other ingredients is still happening. That hasn't changed.

 

Help Lunar is getting negative lifesteal increased

HELP.

 

Yes! I can finally have an evil weapon:

Apocalypse

Lifesteal: 320 -> 666 (200 to 866)

Sadly, Heatwave is pretty terrible, even in tierstack.

 

616 is the more archaic number of the devil, and everything here is a multiple of 66 in some way by its significant digits(base health regen is 264, 66*4, mana steal is 22, 22*3=66, -66 attack tier/mana regen, etc.)

Even fits devilishness better, because Lucifer is the Morning Star: she's light. Water/air is a holy motif. It's a fakery of heavenly light.

 

0.o...

My life has been a lie

 

Did i miss something or did weekly discussions die

 

I think that because the trailer is dropping tomorrow, we've seen the end of the discussions.

 

But theres still so much to discuss about

 

I don't know anything for certain, I was just guessing that that's the reason why we didn't get another discussion. It would kindof make sense, and we'll probably get more of these discussions in the future.

 

We're a little stacked up with work for the update, so the new thread will be a little late as we complete some things, but they're not going away anytime soon. Just a lot to do.

 

Just to touch base, won't be releasing (not that we need to) a changelog for this.

This applies to all master hive armours.

 

Another update for you guys: more priming for release.

Another reminder that exchange costs upon release of the update for all master hive items will be free and will not require any catalysts.

For ease of use here are the Custom Item links for WD for the armours:

Said it on Discord but I'll put it here as well - I think the raw spell buffs are too high. Especially on BPC, which now gives generally more damage than Chaos Greaves, even after the Chaos Greaves buff. Consider that generally, 100 raw spell equates to around 10% to 20% spell damage (depending on the class).

________________________________

Eden 4 mr is nice, as well as the hpr buff. Anima change is interesting too.

I've already stated my opposition to tying raw spell vs. % spell to different archetypes. It's essentially the same principle as my opposition to the existing massive spell conversion values - they artificially limit the playstyles available to different classes.

Obsidian, I've already made my viewpoint clear on heavy melee's low baseline damage boosts. 6000 raw melee would still not be enough to make heavy melee widely viable.

Not much to say on any of the others.

 

Slight updates on both of these!

Elysium-Engraved lost 5% melee damage, and Twilight-Gilded gained 5%.

 

Another not-so-small update to this one. We're going to try out a concept here and see if it pans out. Feel free to experiment with the concept as much as you'd like as we'll be monitoring feedback and reactions surrounding this piece.

 

Major... are you okay?

 

Overall I feel like this could be a good way to allow less defensive tierstack melee to have more damage than a more defensive style. It does depend on the surrounding +tier options, of course.

I like the addition of raw, considering my belief that raw and percent shouldn't be tied to elemental combos.
