I messed around with some weird builds this past season. As soon as you get past 1800, people start asking you about them. Anyone who uses any of these items henceforth will be labelled derivitive. The Priest Spoiler [PoF] Valkyrie Level 21 Human Priest Sacrificial Axe Sacrificial Axe Stargod's Raiments Black Cat Buckler Captain Cedric's Boots St Ulrich's Bones St. Bethan's Charm St Ulrich's Bones Venerable Positioning Advanced Piety The wizard Spoiler [PoF] SJP Level 20 Human Wizard Staff Of Chask Staff Of Chask Pipes Of Hamelin Sensate's Ring Sensate's Ring Pipes Of Hamelin Explorer's Force Suit Captain Cedric's Boots Venerable Positioning Advanced Electromancy The Warrior Spoiler [PoF] Strafe Level 22 Elf Warrior Howling Pain Stolen Torch Crazy Sal's Halberd Snarlcub Hide Quinn's Buckler Chapeau Of The Afflicted Artist First Responder's Moccasins Superb Footwork Reckless Lycanthropy
i have almost exactly elf warrior sometime ago, but now i think i should play Unreliable Heirloom Shield instead of quinn's Buckler
I certainly found I had more movement than necessary most of the time. That said, can one ever have too much movement? I hate 4+ blocks and avoid them whenever possible, which probably caused me to overlook lucky charm. I think of unreliable block as a dead card. Interestingly, having almost no blocks on my warrior made me play smarter. Instead of running in and hoping my blocks would hold, I'd avoid combat until the skirmish was in my favour.
i used to think the same with the elf party, but i found that the heirloom is more stronger that i initialy thougth. The free card means a lot for your elf that can carry it wothout sacrificating almost anything (can save the quicks runs or mighty blungeons) and the +4 block its not too much reliable to rely on it so you still playing smart to avoid dangerous situations that you cant leave but with the plus that sometimes that 4+ does his job.
Also, if you dislike using unreliable block: imagine a reverse situation where you have powerful bludgeon and aoa in hand but an enemy character with unreliable block is facing you. No-one wants to be in that situation!
Can you explain the reasoning behind each item? I think I get some of them, like Sacrificial Axe being a non-token item. Are there also any possible substitutes for some of the legendary items? Any epics or below would be nice.
interesting use of sacrificial axe and then compensating with st. ulrich. I wonder what tokenless divine items would be best used with double evensong.
If you want a bit of trait cycling, I'd go with Outcast's Relic or Shuddering Relic. Other options that come into my mind are Fingerbone Of St. Ob, Hand Of Melvelous, Purging Charm & Ravenna's Incense.
I don't think you can really replace those, since OP's build wants both Team Walk & Flanking Move. Maybe Mouse Boots and Sensate's Ring -> Ring Of Appropriation comes closest for the wizard.
