I very much agree with this list and legit lol’d at some of these hilariously bad items, however I think
is actually not that bad. You can make some crazy tanky nightblades with this weapon which are pretty good (at least on HC). Imo a small buff to Crimson Spike would be ok, but it’s not nearly as bad as the others on this list.
Edit: Give Scion of Noxious Wounds a 0 CD to Aegis mod crate pl0x (and obviously change the rest of the item accordingly).
You listed 5 weapons while it’s more like 50% of all legendary weapons that are useless.
I always considered the huge item pool of useless weapons as a “backup” of things to buff and make content out of thin air for future mini-passes.
Btw, Crimson Spike is not without meme value at all. When dual-wielded using Dark One and two totems, you can afk against Kuba in his pools.
Can confirm.
More so, Crimson Spike with Hallanx’s Head can make Acid Purge to fully convert it acid damage. So
This and the WT mod is the one that carry the weapon, and
I fully agree with this one. RoS and attack speed in there is like total random looking at the skill it support more of a cd type, better change it to casting speed to help vitality acid purge build.
Scion and Crystallium are pretty terrible, yeah. Others are okay and can have their niche.
For Scion I don’t really know what can be done, but Crystallium…
I know lightning RF doesn’t sound too hot when we can simply go Savagery if playing Archon, but that’d be a starter.
Or just give it lightning RR to Guardians.
A little of blue flavor off-topic
I was looking into building a vit AAR (and failed) trying to find all the conversions and ranks to the skill. Mad_lee found me a neat dagger:
Ngl it rocked my world. Some items can be useless but this one is just a straight up troll from Barrowholm folk.
My brain is too tired to analyze this items at this hour, but i hear 0 Cd Aegis, i bump. Not that i prefer playing those kind of playstyle in Diablo 3 for instance, but with depth and options of Grim Dawn, i just cant help but desire an option for shield spam build. Do it Krate please, before leaving the game for good.
… nothing useless found here, sorry! Some of these Items I even use frequently (Crystallum, Ravagers Bite, Wendigo Aetherwaver…).
Maybe seem useless for people with generic (non-roleplaying?) playstile, who donT want to test niches, as I love to do.
And btw, not everyone likes to use quasi-cheat mods like GDstash, that kill the game, those people have to make do with just the stuff that drops.
I love me some niches. I love me some freak stuff. Why do people always complain?
I’ve cleaned up the thread. Please keep the discussion on topic.
The philosophical debate of the value of one person’s input over another’s can go somewhere else.
I think lightning RF item that supports Paladin is a very good idea. There is already Stormheart that support Shaman side and Stormcaller’s Pact.
So it can have lightning RF mod, keep the Storm Box mod aswell and maybe AoC skill points instead Storm Touched and Stormcaller’s Pact.
Something something don’t put it solely on a melee weapon yet again and lock out range option as well
I would love to know what happened to that?! Would you please enlighten me?
To that what? Vit AAR? Doesn’t have items to converted eveything and have full ranks. It can be made but on paper looks to weak to even try. Clair aether/vit or pure aether AARs are much better.
I see, thank you. Does that mean that the initial idea was soon abandoned?
I agree that plain old aether based AAR is by far the strongest in the game.
Yes, it was. I abandon 80% of my build ideas, it wasn’t a big deal 
Unfortunately, for the majority of dmg types AAR is not competitive now. Aether, lightning and physical ones are good.
Thanks again for the reply. I would be so curious to see all of those abandoned ideas! They would be so inspiring to me~
If you want to see all builders dismantled builds, you’ll need couple of years time just to do that 
Yea! I’ve only been doing this for months and I have dozens that never see the light of day~ I can imagine how many hundreds of builds are just left alone to never be seen again by the “pros” here.
Regardless it would still be be entertaining and inspiring to see the wild things thought up over the years! Heck even the items in this thread have really got me thinking about using them in builds~ so much fun!!!
To follow off of this, Mythical Olexra’s Chill, while not entirely useless per se, just doesn’t really make a lot of sense, whether you’re going for an ABB build with or without cooldown.
There are no offhands with ABB modifiers and only one offhand with any sort of bonus to ABB (Sphere of Many Blades) so it’s likely you’ll be better off dual-wielding. That already hampers a cd-based ABB since you won’t be getting much cooldown reduction without an offhand and Olexra’s Chill is the only one-handed item with flat -cd for ABB.
If you’re going for a spam build, you have to use Amarastan Crusher and then you can use Olexra’s Chill for the conversion. Nice. Issue is, Amarastan Crusher deals physical damage and you don’t have a way to convert that to cold to fit the build, so you’ll likely want to use Olexra’s Chill as your attacking weapon (since ABB only attacks with the left hand if dual-wielding). Then you get the base cold WD you’re looking for…except Olexra’s Chill has no attack speed on it.
So you have bad cooldowns if you’re going for a cd-based build and bad attack speed if you’re going for a spam build with this thing. I know the build is kind of a meme but it doesn’t have to be that much of a meme. Adding like 15 % AS to Mythical Olexra’s Chill wouldn’t break anything.
