Next league, please nerf Abyss belts

Personally i'd be very surprised if Abyss in its current form makes it to the core game. I can see it being a zana mod that possibly alternates with breach but that's about it.

For the simple reason that the existence of Stygian Vise negates every other belt type.

~Myth

It wasn't any different before, mostly because of how shitty the belt bases are. Instead of Leather / Crystal it's Stygian (and maybe crystal) now.
You can pretend that they killed diversity, but fact is once they are gone everyone will revert to old habits except for some memebuilders, but they never cared for stygian to begin with.

They might be obtainable through zana map mod in the future. Not sure what they will do to the jewels or it will be the same problem again, unless they make them as rare as opan rings or smth.

How would you suggest nerfing them without removing the socket which defines them?

I stated how in my post; Stygians should only roll with 2-3 mods on them, corrupted so you can't alter that, and then the other mods would be made up with the gems.
Thereby the stygians would have a comparable number of mods to normal belts. At most they shouldn't roll with more than 4 mods.

I mean a stygian would still likely beat out most belts, assuming it rolled anything close to decent.


Keep in mind a jewel has 4 properties, making your belt have 6-7, with 4\6 or 4\7 something you can craft\control.

I think talisman proved to us that corrupted items aren't that fun in terms of being able to craft em. They are powerful because they can be crafted, but I think you can curve that power by instead limiting how much power the socketed jewel gives you.


Limiting the mods to lessor doesn't make since from a logistical standpoint, people should know by now that items have 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes. The only exception to this (in terms of equippable items) is jewels.


Furthermore, I think I would personally ignore every single one of these belts if they dropped corrupted (or use a loot filter to look for the stats I guess), but if they dropped and I could use them in my gear, even at 1\2 effectiveness if socketed into the belt, I think that would put this base in line and maybe it retains its top tier in some cases, but if its rare enough and it takes a powerful enough jewel, it would be worth it.
