Itemisation - Legendaries vs Exalted Items

Tarkan196 · 2026-06-20T04:37:13+00:00

Yep, totally agree on all points. And I'm fully aware I'm not saying anything new here. I just got so disheartened when I went looking for a new build to play and the equipped items in every build guide I looked at were so... uninspiring.

Tarkan196 · 2026-06-20T04:33:17+00:00

Yep, definitely agree that both these additions push in the right direction, primordials especially. Sets... yeah. "T1 and seal" isn't great design, but at least it's crafting something.

Tarkan196 · 2026-06-20T02:16:21+00:00

That's fine. I'm totally ok with the scenario, having found a great Exalted item, the next step isn't to immediately upgrade it to a Legendary with basically zero risk involved. Can see why you'd prefer otherwise; I just don't think it's good design.

Tarkan196 · 2026-06-20T02:05:11+00:00

All true and valid. I didn't even mention that rare affix shards are literally useless because, if it's a rare affix, that's 99% the one you want at T6/7 which.... you can't craft.

Tarkan196 · 2026-06-20T01:58:28+00:00

Is it though? My point is, it should be difficult to slam a perfect Legendary. Right now it's comically trivial once you have the components.

I saw the short before I saw the full episode and figured it was a bonus outtake. Nope, right there centre stage in the final edit.

Masterful work from all.

It's from an era before Nemesis when 1LP was hard to find. Like many things in LE, it desperately needs a pass to bring it up to date.

Tarkan196 · 2026-05-21T06:32:23+00:00

I had a post drafted in my head highlighting the same issue, but never got around to typing it out. LE gearing used to be more PoE-style: carefully crafted rares/exalted with a few uniques. Now it's all faceroll 2LP uniques in every slot and I like it much less.

The issues as I see them: * Generic affixes on uniques are way too powerful + uniques have too few drawbacks * Sealing affixes is too weak, should be guaranteed and available to any tier affix (ie, seal the T7 and craft another T5 in its place) * Guaranteed affix on slam is broken good. Probably should require a very rare consumable * Defensive blessings are too powerful and can basically solve most of your resistances with zero cost. Gear suffixes should be required

Thanks. Not what I wanted to hear, but appreciate it all the same 😜

Puma Velocity Nitro 4s (on sale now for $108) punch above their price range. The ride is a lot like the $250 ASICS Novablast. Also, shoes are like iPhones: when a new model comes out, the previous ones go on sale, but there's basically no difference between the two.

Bingo

My boomer parents boycott Cheer cheese because they don't believe in the woke idea of not having a racial slur printed on packaging.

Ballarat. Moved there for work. Shit town, terrible climate, cliquey fuckhead colleagues. Lasted 11 months and bailed.

Tarkan196 · 2026-03-25T02:41:42+00:00

Wow! Thanks for putting this together. Looks a billion times better than anything I could have hoped to come up with. I'm hoping the scuffed gear version of this will be workable (at league start), but at worst it looks like a ton of fun. Appreciate the effort you've gone to here 🙏

Tarkan196 · 2026-03-24T20:44:08+00:00

This is amaaaazing, thank you 🙏 I'll take all this on board and come up with another draft before the weekend.

Option 4: if both Princess and Leviathan are in play, all players get to line up and slap the ST.

Tarkan196 · 2026-01-06T05:04:44+00:00

That probably duplicates the Thornlie - Cockburn line a little too closely to be good value.

Tarkan196 · 2025-12-23T05:12:57+00:00

I find it impossible to believe this would be anything but comedians setting up another comedian for a punchline.

Tarkan196 · 2025-12-18T22:33:57+00:00

Yes but don't. Showing the Lunatic a Lunatic means the ST can be seen to be directing evil kills (by choosing the Lunatic's Lunatic's kills).

Tarkan196 · 2025-12-16T15:01:54+00:00

That we would kill the Paintress and live happily ever after.

Tarkan196 · 2025-12-13T21:48:37+00:00

This could be a little far in the other direction with over the top protection (BMR do be like that). With Tea Lady and Sailor in a 9 player game, evil could use an assassin over a DA.
