The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Dude, all the "Challenge" quests are fuckin lame as shit. Vaults of the Artificers was so disappointing. SOME of the loot is more or less ok if you have nothing better(some random loot gen stuff is better).

Basically, ya run 'em one time and then *coughing sounds* until you have enough, and even then its barely worth the effort. I kitted out some of my seldom-played alts and my main just finished an entire life barely using anything from it. With Masterful Craftsmanship, its possible to bring the items down to ML14, which means an Iconic character fresh off the boat can use them.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Blasting Chime does seem to be a better deal...

But the music box has a YAALLOWW SLOZT!!!

Yeah blasting chime mostly wins. Ya know, it'd be useful if they'd give something like 3-4 of the same slot so you can just shove a bunch of things in one place(Blindness Ward/Deathward/Fear Immunity, for example) But a whole bunch of Colorless/Yellow/Blue slotted items just makes it that much harder...

Also, am I the only person who wishes spellpower augments weren't limited to weapons?

Red slots on shields wouldn't be too much to ask for IMHO.

Why is spell power red-augment to begin with? It's sort of a textbook definition of something you want to just have and now be switching out.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

Red is a Weapons Only slot.

That's something that's been argued against and brushed aside in several loot threads last year.
I know it's fucking stupid...

I seriously don't mind thins like "Adds 1d8 Fire Damage" being weapon-only, that makes infinity sense. DR-bypassing effects, really anything that BELONGS ON A WEAPON is great.

But why spell power?! There are so many different items with spell power that the precedent is very clearly there. And making them colorless would just by so friggin convenient!

As it stands, I'm not actually using a single spell-power augment for this exact reason: in every case, I either want a more useful augment in that slot or I slotted the power elsewhere.

Red lands on shields, you have to look for them though. I have a "random gen" tower shield with a nice red slot in it.

Spellpower being colorless would mean that people would slot every spellpower type.  It would effectively make potency useless.  I don't mind spellpower being red augments per se, it makes for variations between builds.

What'd be wrong with slotting every spell power type? Given how many non-weapon items have it, my wizard has 3 or 4 of them slots already and he usually holds a scroll.
