I for one don't want Cloak of Defiance changed. I feel that it's extremely well balanced that many opinions only changed due to the course of the game. Very good read. Your unique is one of those I appreciate a lot despite never using it but for the creation of the keystone.	Posté par YellowMage#0417 le 20 oct. 2014 12:26:20 Citer ce post
Just wanted to say Thank you for creating this item! I have not had the pleasure of building around it yet but I know I will enjoy it when I do. Items like this allow me to play the game with different strategies everytime I build something new IGN: Fourist	Posté par Fourist#2774 le 20 oct. 2014 13:50:27 Citer ce post

Thanks for posting this. I really like the item and don't feel like it should be nerfed. That being said, I do think that the Keystone needs to be re-positioned. I tried building around the Keystone as a Witch, and I had to spend ~14 points just to get to it. With that high of a cost, taking the chest instead is always going to be a straight upgrade with 0 downsides and tons of upsides.

I have to say Cloak of Defiance is a really amazing unique congrats! @OP given the state of CI right now how would you feel if GGG were to change MoM to be something like 30% of damage taken from mana before life or energy shield? Ive really wanted to make a CI build like this. Its been possible since they introduced the corrupted mods for rings and amulets (%damage taken gained as mana when hit) except that MoM only works with life and not es :( IGN:Dethklok lllllDanziGGlllll - 100 Ranger ~ HOGM Mirror Service: View-thread/2479762 Old:870532	Posté par Dethklok#2196 le 20 oct. 2014 17:58:01 Citer ce post
" Roleplayer a écrit : I don't think that this cloak really needs a change, but well what do I know. I think it's pretty interesting really. It makes me change up my playstyle depending on circumstances: I can reserve no auras at all, deal ~40% less damage, having less block (no tempest) but have +~1.7k "hp" and need to rely on potions or mana leech gem for sustaining casts. I can reserve every single thing and also run AA, while casting my spell with mana leech (clarity), but have ~100 mana. Or I can choose some options in between. It feels like running auras with Blood magic but more realistic (let's face it, I'll never do a shav and running % auras from life when you stack life is just unreasonable) You really need to learn how to build for Cloak of Defiance properly if you think you can't use auras with it still at maximum effectiveness. You should be able to run at least one aura while keeping maximum effectiveness, and if you build your mana pool correctly you can have 2 or 3.

once you calculate how much extra ehp you get from mind over matter, it doesn't take a genius to realize this is the strongest chest in the game. glad i bought one for 14 chaos a few months back	Posté par scrtwpnx#3630 le 20 oct. 2014 21:15:16 Citer ce post
