How about increasing the conversion rate of 2H weapons to 72-108%?
For example, I’m interested in using Nightbringer but it can only have at most 60% elemental to vitality conversion. If Nightbringer were 1-handed, I have the option of DW Nightbringer or bringing Leafmane Trophy or Decree of Malmouth offhand for 100% conversion.
I’m aware that in this case, elemental to vit conversion exists on other slots. But 1H weapons have the flexibility of having the conversion on their other hand.
This is a pretty radical/extreme change.
On paper, it sounds fine if and only if 2-handed weapons were designed with this in mind from the beginning. But nowadays, giving specific weapons like Nadaan’s Reach 100% Elemental->Pierce conversion, Leviathan 100% Cold/Vitality->Physical conversion, Gutsmasher 100% Chaos/Lightning conversion to name a few is pretty ludicrous.
Bottom line, it would have been a nice way to compensate 2-handed weapons if it were thought of ahead of time but now? There are no telling what the ramifications it would have on builds.
Mythical Gutripper got a nice buff to the modifier. The damage is almost good now. But I think the numbers on the weapon aren’t the problem, rather that it has a lot of useless stats:
I wouldn’t mind trading it all for 1 useful stat. I realize some of these are thematic, so they might stay regardless.
For a bleeding Warder like the one I’m playing, it’s unfortunate that Bloodsurge and Lacerator Girdle are bad compared to the alternatives (despite the latter just getting a buff; merely increasing the numbers misses the mark I believe).
Its not that radical. We know that excess conversion is scaled down to fit 100% range. If you have other conversions diluting your target conversion, then the excess conversion helps with that.
In the case of Nadaan’s Reach, it just means you’re not forced to use Mythical Pack of Treacherous Means if the weapon itself can give you all the conversion you need. It gives you more flexibility in what you want wear in the belt slot.
Its true that I can’t imagine the full ramifications of this. But will the option to equip a +1 skills in the belt slot really jack up the power creep by that much?
You are literally asking for the conversion of 2H weapons to be doubled. I’d say that’s pretty radical and invalidates essentially the entire purpose of skill modifiers.
Oh I thought you were making fun of the fact that I proposed the conversion rate go all the way to 108%. This is a different case.
Here’s a little build trivia. What would you gear for if you want to play aether Drain Essence? Uroboruuk’s Guise set or Fleshwarped Tome + Chains of Ygraad or whatever vit to aether conversion you can find? Most of the time, the answer is Uroboruuk’s Guise even if you can manage to slap together 100% global vit to aether on other sources. So I really don’t get your argument that 100% global conversion invalidates skill mods.
I guess its about builds not crafting. But i will do it anyway.
New Dynamite Reciepe:
Lowering Ugendblooms needed for consumables to 1 but add Tonic of Mending and Elexir of Spirit.
Less Restrictions of components in accessories. If it is for rings, then why not for amulet or medal?

gore option needs to be worked. Everytime I want to spread diseases via chicken pox enemies are instantly disintegrated when this option is switched on. I dont want to put off gore everytime I want to curse people, cause gore is love… blood is life 
Aura of censure burning strong, comrade. Dumping posts to closed threads no-one can reply. Before I’m out, my list of things I think should be changed in 1.1.5.2:
) - bug or no bug it looks like a monster bugAs for build balance only 2 points:
Re-work Bleed damage effects! Should be illustrated by fountains of blood gushing (like from a 90ies anime).
Considering the travel speed of a gun projectile, the animation speed makes sense. Though frustrating of course. Maybe travel speed of all projectiles should be increased?
2400 DA spellbinder with 4:20 Cruci, Belgo 4:30 Cruci - WE NEED TO NERF VITALITY
I know there are faster builds but can’t look at Cruci times alone (especially when done by top pilots on suicidal setups that only work in their hands). Start doing that and what happens - nerfs to Silver Sentinel or Box of Elgolol
I tested a couple of the latest vit setups and I’d never seen anything like that. Not even on warlords post FG release. I didn’t try that Vines ritualist of yours but I get the picture - SR100+ without even trying to be tanky (offensive augments: Wraith Screams and Ravager Harvest, 2.7da, 2k armor).
You might have missed how vit builds work. It always struggles on DA, armor and CC res while relies only on ADCtH.
I have 3 builds for SR 90+, and vitality isn’t the strongest of them. Vitality is still way beyond retaliation and pets for SR.
Moreover, Vitality wasn’t buffed except little more OA on Rattosh. Dark One got Shaman support and that’s it
The only two SR 90+ runs here now are @John_Smith with Dark Conj and me with Wildblood. Meanwhile we have 2 pet builds and several retal builds with SR 100+
My 2 requests:
Please add the energy cost reduction to terrifying gaze in the DEE skill line to make DEE spam possible without ulzuin’s buff
Do something about affliction
Then don’t get hit by it because that’s your punishment. That change would neuter arcane heroes because all you would need to do is back off and run around for a bit and then the buffs would return. I also don’t think the engine can even do what you are asking.
People think that constantly bringing up arcane heroes will somehow cause the devs to nerf them, but i think the reverse is what happening. The devs are probably becoming more and more resistant to any nerf to arcane heroes.
That would work with a skill disruption aura or PBAoE nova. Imagine taking away your SKILLS instead of or (if you feel sadistical) ON TOP OF your buffs?
I don’t think arcane mobs should be nerfed. I think a unique symbol (different from the star ones you see on normal hero mobs) should be placed over their heads, to demarcate them from the rest of the run-o’-the-mill rabble rousers
Hell, I wouldn’t mind something as obnoxious as this:
