New troll weapon WOOOO

Without explaining myself, I think it is safe to say that this weapon is not going to be absurdly good because it is so easy for GGG to balance. The same goes for the Whispering Ice staff, so easy to balance.

Hard to say, it should hold the price during the league if it isn't potato tier of common, and being a league-exclusive it surely won't drop after it. Rigwald's weapons have similar raw dps and they didn't go below 20-30c (they're ugly as fuck too).

Aight, maybe not 1c. I checked poe.trade just now,
you can find a similar phys DPS 1 hand sword for 5-10c on poe.trade. However, considering that you can use axe/mace skill tree nodes instead of just sword ones might makes it as a desirable weapon on softcore leagues up to .5-1ex. However, on hardcore I doubt this will be any more than 10-15c. Not to mention, crappy attack speed.

I feel it's going to be a lot like Pillar of the Caged God: a viable build if you do it correctly, but with a power cap that keeps it from competing with the heavy-hitter builds.

Also I would be surprised if it went for more than 5c. Niche medium-power uniques seldom go for more than 10c, and there will likely be more market availability for this than similar 1h weapons.

The more i think about it the more i realise that it's just plain bad. Not only do you limit yourself by a low dps weapon, but you further limit yourself by having to go to the exact skill tree nodes the weapon was designed for.

I would give it a 4/10 just because it looks good.

The base is horrible for such a cool concept sad to think this thing might not even sell for a chaos orb after the first few weeks.

I guess there is a chance earthquake is just so good it makes this thing useful but even then I don't think this weapon would be anywhere near bis for earthquake builds.

edit I think they probably went with the base because it has low stat requirements so any build can use it but that base type just has near the worst of everything dps wise with almost none of the good ie. lowest range, slowest attack speed, low damage range.

Agreed. Cool design, shitty base choice.

WTB D2 up recipes.

Imagine the metagame if you can upgrade your unquies into higher bases ;v

Exceptional and Elite was so great in D2, I'm surprised they haven't added something like that in this game that can only be done self-found.

It'd mess with too many designs aimed specifically at lower end.

I'd know, I've made two of them.

Besides, I didn't mean shitty base because it's a lower one. I meant shitty base because it already has a fucking unique (goddamn GGG and their goddamn double dipping, I don't get it at all -- LOTS of base 1hs have no unique at all), and because it's a slow, boring base anyway.

Even if we were to upgrade a starter item twice ala D2 upgrade, it still wouldn't make them "end game."

If my favorite leveling item was Reverberation Rod and I could upgrade it twice to keep it in merc, it wouldn't break it tbh.

It would be a great system for players (newer and old) to keep the items they want to progress and have content for them to spend time in/farm to upgrade up the items. If they decide to trade away the item then the item wouldn't be upgraded for the person.

Have it be some sort of system were you "unlock" the true full potential of the item to make it equal to the power of the oringal. "good" items already for higher level characters Kaom's Primacy would get very very minor upgrades.
