What do you guys think about the new belt?

Lets break this item down.

Normal Rolls:

1) ES = Normal Amount considering you can get 40 + 47 (perfect) rolls on a chain belt
2) 30% Ele Damage = Normal Roll Possible on any Rare Belt


Unique Rolls:

1) Maximum Mana = Not normally found on belts but not really game breaking
2) Chill and Freeze Duration Based on ES = Really good. Completely fixes being frozen for CI
3) Mana Leech per Power Charge = Specific for Wanders, really good if you have 5+ Charges

My only question to GGG is why this belt has 3 Unique Modifiers? With no drawback..

Isn't Chill and freeze duration based on Es a drawback?

No since the belt is made for CI characters.

This belt's drawbacks are no base stats and no resists.

its a big advantage

to correct herpes

wed can go up to 36%
es can go up to 47

id be honest i want the belt for the mana and the less freeze duration it can replace dreams fits perfect to make 2 perandus signets work endresult would be close to 300 more int

No resists is a drawback... not everything has to be present to be considered. Often what's not on an item is quite a drawback. As a belt for a CI user, it's good... but not game breaking good. There will still be many who opt for a good rare instead. Also, it's not "cannot be frozen"... it's a modifier to duration.

Its a no-brainer item

There's no reason to wear another belt as CI and it butchers build diversity, GGGs own hard work and my wallet

I explained myself about this belt in the "bis unique's" thread that is currently up.

Basicly this can replace a dream fragment and wil eleviate the market, probably reducing the cost ore offering a lower cost alternative to dream fragments.
I can only hope something similar is in the working for a life based character.

I wouldn't call this belt best in slot for ALL CI character to be honest - If you take a sporker or any caster for example: two of the mods are a complete 'waste' and one of them (wed) probably heavily inflates the price. I see this more as a build enabler since it should make it significantly easier to build a ci based melee character or maybe even a ranged one. On any pure CI caster type character i'd probably still prefer any belt with the oh so powerful "increased Flask effect duration" and some decent resists for example.

I like this belt and think that the chill/freeze duration affix is a nice and fairly balanced idea, but in combination with those other affixes it's far from being the 'be all and end all', which in itself is a drawback.

Lol @ ppl who say "no resists is a drawback".

Do you really consider resists mandatory on every piece of gear?

It is a pretty damn good belt for some CI users, not all. The lack of resists can be compensated on other pieces of gear quite easily. My current main has 0 resists on his belt mainly because I am maxed out on all resists before even getting a good belt, so there was no need for it.

The one thing to remember about this belt is that it will probably be very rare for awhile. It will only drop on lvl 70+ maps (68/69 from rare/magic&rare monsters, respectively). Also, the price is going to be very high on this belt for quite awhile, leaving it out of price range for many common people.

And while it talks about freeze/chill duration, when you have 7k+ ES, the duration will be similar to 4550 life. My current main has ~4400 life and rarely gets frozen, so most people should be all right.
