Lack of Soulfire support on Chaos, Vitality and Pierce EoR

[mad_lee]

So lack of Soulfire support can be broken down into two things:

1. Lack of Soulfire bonuses on relevant gear. Vitality have boots with Soulfire bonus but those boots are pretty bad as they lack physical resist - the most valuable stat in that slot (and they have Confuse proc that might be counter productive with EoR).

2. Lack of Soulfire conversions. Soulfire is another one of those weird “skills within the skill” type of things that only gets converted globally. While Chaos does have 50% Lightning to Chaos on the weapon (why not make it Elemental to Chaos, by the way? So it can be added to other Elemental to Chaos conversions on gear) and some ways to convert physical (less on Inquisitor), Vitality and Pierce have to go out of their way to convert either Physical or Lightning (can’t convert both).

Suggestions

- Add physical resist to Greaves of Ill Omen. It’s long overdue.

- Sprinkle Soulfire bonuses on Vitality/Chaos/Pierce gear and add +2/+4 to Soulfire to relevant weapons

- Add global physical to relevant damage conversions to the weapons. Can also be added to Reaver Claws.

Do you have experience playing/making Chaos/Pierce/Vitality EoR builds? What are your thoughts on the topic?

I managed to build all 3 at some point but physical EoR acid EoR and even cold EoR just destroy them by a big mile. Would love more soulfires here and there plus more conversion itemization for sure.

What are your thoughts on the topic?

cheesing skill points on affixes

i feel like that’s fine on some builds, but EoR is not one of them
not only because direct item support makes it more than just a conduit meme, but soulfire is quite significant to EoR

iirc i also struggled for soulfire points on dualwield aether EoR when messing around with oppressor and devish setups

I think Mythical Wrath of Tenebris should be +2 to Occultis/Oathkeeper/Inquisitor and Mythical Death’s Reach shuould get + 2 to Shaman/Occultist/Oathkeeper while both keep the mods but maybe readjusting other +skills on these weapons.

That would be mega obviously. Not as great as addressing Soulfire support thru adding global conversion and +2-4 to Soulfire but also pretty welcome.
