Info Item Team Thread - Item/ingredient/major Id Changes, Updates & More

repeat spell costs are gonna go up by 5 (for now)

 

Well that sucks, that's like equivelent to like 60 tps, really really hope they change that

Hope it's changed to somewhere around -650 tp cost, it'd be more similar to the current value (also -650 tp cost is pretty cool looking on an item lol)

 

CONGRATULATIONS @touhoku AND @btdmaster <3

 

Looking back at the stream, I'm fairly certain that while meteor no longer cancels itself, you still can only have one meteor falling at a time. Instead, the second meteor will queue behind the first. Anyone from the CT please correct me if I'm wrong, but this means that entropy and pure still have the same advantage as they do in live, it's just not as punishing to cast meteor twice in a row for anyone else

 

You used to have to wait before casting another meteor but now that u can spam them they will attack alot faster. So all other wands don't have that wait time anymore so they all got buffed in speed for the next few meteors that fall but pure didnt have a wait time which is what made it good but because of that it will not have that buff other wands had.

 

I think this is wrong but I'm not 100% on it

________________________________

There's good reason for this actually, mana regen being /1s means that you are locked to a very restrictive set of values for mana (1/1s, 2/1s, etc, since rolls round) which would make balancing these changes actually quite a bit harder

I personally also like that mr/5 and ms/3 can have regen and steal numbers in a similar ballpark, whereas the way the current steal system works doesn't at all justify dropping it to /1s to keep that

super new ea spell item. ??

 

things i noticed about the teaser using my ultimate highbread observational skills. also some guesses/assumptions i can make:

1. why is the symbol before hp blurred? this opens up the possibility that it's a -hp item, though i kind of doubt it.

2. it must have either water or fire defense/weakness, as elemental defenses go in the order of FWATE, and there's a censored line above the E/A defenses, and based on the length of the censorship it's likely water defense.

3. based on the length of the censor after +19%, i can guess that the item has walk speed

4. based on the placement of the damage text, i can guess it has air damage (damage text shifted slightly to the right because it's a <70% roll) and earth damage.

5. probably legendary based on the length of the censor

not confident enough to make any other guesses/assumptions, but i believe most of what i said above should be accurate

of course there's also the possibility that the lines of censorship aren't drawn to perfectly cover everything in which case i may guess incorrectly on some of these

 

This has probably been addressed alr but with the amount of different arrow storms you can have or whatever, how would Nighthawk be balanced?

Like for example, I saw one of the sharpshooter abilities was 2x arrow storm speed and 8 more arrows, how would that work on Nighthawk?

 

In all honesty we do not know yet - reworking some of the existing major ids is not something we have finalized. But yes it’s a problem to some existing major IDS - hopefully we can change them all by the end of beta, but all require more coding so it is not so easy

 

YES

Wastelands (endgame unique leggings) with +40 mana steal and -7 2nd spell cost?

 

Rest in peace TFA The Nothing. . . . Yikes, at least with cheap spell costs.

Really lives up to its name now. From 12k to 5k meteor average.

It may actually be better in 2.0 with cheaper spells moving to the ability tree, the gear can focus on damage. Maybe with the Arcanist archetype and getting a ton of mana too, intelligence might not be a problem.
But it may be hard still, to get those meteors again.

WynnBuilder build:
> Unravel
> Windshear
> The Crossing
> Ornate Shadow Cloud
> Summa
> Darksteel Ring
> Clockwork
> Gold Solar Necklace
> The Nothing 2.0 []

Quick thing I made. Almost 12k meteors and great ehp, but -ehr which will be bad with Arcanist. Ignored spell costs and mana sustain, still got 7/3 steal. Summa was a silly choice, but canceled the - regen.

Maybe not rest in peace The Nothing just yet???

Now time to see how hurt Orange Lily is.

 

The difference in the nothing's damage as shown here is a quirk of rounding and elemental conversion; this might change in 2.0 with the way they recoded it, and we already have a note to keep an eye on it and rebalance as necessary

Also to you and everyone else reading this, as much as it's tempting to use 1.20 builds to come to conclusions about 2.0 items, given how much in the game is changing it doesn't actually mean all that much, just keep that in mind

 

Orange Lily nerf:

RenZenthio's tank.

https://wynnbuilder.github.io/#5_07...14010KK170231a1a1F013110o-Y1424-Y1g00001001fI
Lost .5k damage on bomb, 1k on storm, but the new archer abilities and buffs may make it seem like less, or nothing at all.
The worst part is losing 2 on arrow bomb, but I don't know how that will translate to the update. No one saw any mistake with the item x2.

Similar to what touhoku said above (made this before I saw the post).
We'll just have to stay calm (if we like the item) and wait and see how it is on release, and after all the patches and balance.

Although, the damage change here is more immediate and seeable of a result than The Nothing's, and probably more meant to be a nerf if most late game bows aren't touched up. We'll have to wait and see. . . .

 

touhoku new ea spell item

 

My guess on what it is, based on current ID ordering:


Got em
