Why do sheeple not see the value in this?

Reflect kills people in this game probably more than anything. You can't avoid it when running solo and when a devourer pack or water elemental pops out of the ground with ele reflect you dont have a chance to avoid it.

The ES is more than enough for a CI build. Many people run CI discharge with Voll's and end up with far less ES.

If you use a shield and have enough sense to know when to move, you dont need over 3k ES. Its the 1 button face tank mentality that leads people to valuing health/es over damage reduction and avoidance.

Apparently sheeple are better at math than you are. Giving up 500-600 flat ES is almost ALWAYS going to offset the difference that an additional 25% elemental reduction gives. If you are giving up 25% or more of your ES pool to use this chest instead of a nice rare (and you most likely will be), then the 25% elemental reduction is meaningless.

Also, desync invalidates your point about never needing over 3k ES. If you don't like dying in high level maps, you'd damn well better have a LOT more than 3k ES. 4k is bare minimum.

considering you can get a potential 1500 es from your shield alone before the global es% kicks in... it can be built around

Edit: 700+ es shield with the 4 30% increased es shield passives... its how my discharger with a volls had over 7.5k es...

'damage converted to chaos dmg' is an old affix. in case of darkscorn it is balanced by MEH damage it has.. and havent seen many CI archers (perfectly possible that i missed them, simply havent seen them)

Out of interest, anyone know tried the bow plus the new chest yet? As you said, Darkscorn's downside is that it's crap in terms of damage, but poison arrow just got a boost so it wouldn't be a bad time to try it out.

Edit: FishingMonsta is a CI archer, happy to test it out at some point :)

Yes this is what I was thinking, and plus shield defense nodes which also give block. Instead of scaling total ES, you can scale shield ES to insane levels. I like this chest

Hm but they are counted separately though. Global %ES is not multiplicative with the %Defense/%es on shield.
I may very well be wrong, but I think what's above is correct though. Someone feels free to enlighten me on the subject.

More horrible unique items, more bad skills and mediocre patches, game still a trade simulator if you want to make it.

I like my self found Reaper of souls :) bye bye poe

I am, you all should try it too - they fixed almost all issues and its a great self found experience, no need for 1000 exalts to do endgame material, and prolly then you still get oneshot from some dumb mechanic. Bad design is bad

I play both PoE and D3 and enjoy them both.
