It's frustrating how good Bringer of Rain is.

The only reason why spell block is considered OP is its the only mechanic that allows you to deal with ridiculous spell damage that you see in end game bosses. There isn't equivalent of immortal call or enfeeble for spells, the only thing there is spell block, and due to the cap at 75%, you either have to invest ridiculous amounts in gear which may not even work with your build properly, or you could just get spell block

BoR on its own is fine, the issue we have is really a result of the retarded scaling of spell damage due to how the spell damage formula works, which is why everyone is going for spell block

But Enfeeble does lower the crit chance/multiplier and the overall damage for spell mobs. Anything that can lower damage to good extent is good. Of course, it is still not enough, so you invest in getting enough res as you possibly can, and try to crack 80 with one of the res, or all of it, if you are using Saffell's Frame to reduce spell damage even more. BoR + Saffell's Frame (maxed) on the spot is 49% spell block, and that alone only makes a huge difference when dealing with spell damage. Combine it with the all max res + Enfeeble, and you will be able to tolerate spell damage.


Of course, the downside of Saffell's Frame is that you cannot block attacks, so that can be costly, if you face Dominus since he can attack and use spells one after the other. That is where Aegis Aurora come in and does the job.


Lioneye's Remorse + Saffell's Frame = Aegis Aurora.

It's a strong unique, but you can't just slap it on and call it a day.

Bringer of Rain remains one of the most lauded Diamond designs, by both players and the devs. There's no denying it has upset the metagame, but as others have said, it's hardly best in slot without investing in other things.

Although I am sure that GGG are willing to Nerf a Diamond unique, I would be surprised if they didn't consult with PrpnNightmare first.

My guess is that block will be revised, given just how powerful it is. I'd love it if GGG could reduce block chance while a character is moving. Keep in mind I am a huge advocate for Crest of Perandus with blind. Those two alone are a massive, cheap boost to a character's durability.

As for the conditional 7link of BoR, GGG have definitely learned a lesson. They vetoed a design I proposed, with massive drawbacks, solely on a 7link element.
