[BIG] Item/Equip Balancing
Demigod Forums
As a way of addressing HP stacking issues (along with others im sure), Ive got a list here that ive made so that hopefully now, all items are of equal viablility. Its a long list since it practically covers all the items/equips in the game (excludes artifacts atm). *Just so you all know, Ive modded these so i can instantly release it if wanted.*
Feel free to suggest changes for particular items or even just comment, but if you do have suggestions then lay out the details like i have in my list. If this goes well, we may even be able to get it to go mainstream.
So, here are the list of changes:
----------------------------------------------------
# Gloves
----------------------------------------------------
Gloves are never rlly threatening so i made a few buffs
to the equips below and tweaked some costs.
Gauntlets of Brutality
- increased dmg to 35
Gladiator Gloves
- reduced cost to 400 from 450
Gauntlets of Despair
- tooltip now displays hidden 8% attack speed benefit
- increased proc rate to 20% from 15%
- decreased mana drain to 275 from 300
Wyrmskin Handguards
- increased dmg to 25 from 15
- increased attack speed debuff to 30% from 15%
Doomspite Grips
- reduced cost to 5750 from 6750
- increased attack speed to 15% from 10%
- increased cleave range to 2 from 1.5
Gloves of Fell-Darkur
- reduced cost to 3000 from 3500
Slayer's Grips
- reduced cost to 3000 from 3300
- added 10% attack speed
----------------------------------------------------
# Boots
----------------------------------------------------
To minimise health stacking and make boots unique,
I will be adding movement speed passives across
majority of boot equips. This also keeps things consistant and
may make upgrading choices easier.
Footman's Sabatons
- decreased cost by 50
- increased max health to 300 from 200
- removed max mana
- added 4 mana regen
- added 4 health regen
Assassin's Footguards
- reduced cost to 1500 from 1750
- added 5% movement speed
Unbreakable Boots
- reduced max health to 400
- increaded health regen to 10 from 5
- reduced max mana to 600
Desperate Boots
- removed max mana
- added passive 200 armor
- added 10% movement speed
- added 20% movement speed to secondary effect (on proc)
Ironwalkers
- changed secondary effect to "you receive 10% less damage".
- removed all minion benefits
- added 500 max health
- added 500 armor
- added 5% movement speed
>> The speed passive is so that rook does not get
the secondary effect from his default speed. Slow rook
may now be a more viable option.
----------------------------------------------------
# Chest
----------------------------------------------------
I tried to justify the cost for the effectiveness of
these following equips. Armor is great but on its own
its less desired.
Armor of Vengeance
- reduced cost to 2750 from 3250
Platemail of the Crusader
- reduced cost to 4200 from 4500
- increased proc chance to 5%
- reduced secondary heal effect to 250 from 300
Groffling Warplate
- increased proc chance to 5%
- changed secondary effect to "you receive 10% less damage".
- reduced secondary effect duration to 7 secs from 10 sec
----------------------------------------------------
# Helms
----------------------------------------------------
Atm, we basically have a game of "deplete your mana"
then "refill at shrine" to say it bluntly. I dunno about everyone else
but i think that if you gonna invest in mana equips then you
should be rewarded with a noticeable change in regen rather
than just a set pool of mana. It would be more fun if you can stay
on the field without having to retreat all the time.
Scaled Helm
- increased mana regen to 6 from 4
Plate Visor
- reduced cost to 500 from 600
- added 200 armor
Vinling Helmet
- reduced cost to 3000 from 3300
- increased proc chance to 7% from 3%
Theurgist's Cap
- increased proc chance to 10% from 5%
- increased mana regen to 50% from 35%
----------------------------------------------------
# Trinkets section
----------------------------------------------------
Rarely have i come across players who use majority
of the equips in this section. So i basically made a few
alteration with drops in cost aswell.

----------------------------------------------------
# Achievement Items
----------------------------------------------------
Instead of having weak and strong items across the
board, I think a more balanced array of equips would be
more interesting instead of having redundant items in the list
that are never used. And as a result, theirs costs will be the same.
