Gruthkul's Pelt

This chest is pretty worthless as it stands. You can't curse, curse on hit or even use Immortal Call. Remove the "spells are disabled" and it'll be a viable unique. It wont even break the chest, it'll be good for melee at this point and not totally crap.

Agreed, mostly. I agree that without "spells disabled" it becomes an actually equippable item. It would fit nicely between Kaom's and Belly of the Beast, but more physical-centric. Melee currently needs CoDT IC, defensive curses or at the very least auras like HoA. Disabling all spells just isn't viable.

However, I really do think the theme of the item should be preserved slightly more than just removing that last bit; it still keeps "Spells deal no damage" and its bear-like attributes which is a good start, but perhaps instead of disabling spells entirely it says "spells have 50% increased Intelligence requirement."

That way you can use buff spells but you have to be a smart bear! :)

This is a very cool idea. Love it!

You can curse on hit with a glove implicit. Was pretty sure linking curse on hit with an attack would also work.

Naw curse on hit won't work anymore, just like silence stops curse on hit.

It is dumb that you can't warcry though, those shouldn't be counted as spells.

You can't even warcry? ROFL, that chest is officially #1 PoE PoS.

Can you use totems?

But these things are what makes it cool and unique.

Chest is worthless because it's base stats suck. 180 armour and evasion...

There should be lvl 65+ version with 1500 armour and evasion and spell restriction in place. That would be something interesting to build around.

Edit: What do you mean you can't use warcries? They are not spells. Bug or gossip?

I Like the concept of a unique That wont work with the go to defensive mechanics every build Is currently using, but for it to be usefull it needs something to compensate, say:

1% to max ress every 10k armor
1% less damage taken every 3000 Eva.

1. yes you can use totems with chest.

2. yes you can warcry with the chest.

3. You don't need IC, curses, heralds, or anything else at level 90+ - especially if you're a BM melee build.

I'll gladly take 100% inc phis damage, 160 life, all that regen, and even a resist thank you!
