Revert Chaos Shield -- Add 90% SF

Post by Hidden in the Sand » Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:36 pm

Remove it from casters and give it to melees. As it stands it is still a functionally worthless waste of a slot on every single build on the server, instead of a niche item that provides some counter to the current strongest builds on the server.

Give non-Monks some reason to exist. Add some answer to the high APR dex meta for middling AC strength characters.

I have seen zero use of it by Wild Mages since the change. It's still actively a very expensive, very useless item. The change that was applied was an objective failure and the builds which were nerfed by its existence are stronger than ever. Why the developers nerfed a counter to dexterity builds when every couple of months there's another thread pointing out the objective superiority of strength to dexterity is beyond me.

Please, please fix this.

A single loot drop item that people sell for stupid amounts is not the path forward.
