10/18 PBE Update

item 3028 Chalice of Harmony -

Total Cost decreased to 800 from 900
    Recipe: [Faerie Charm + Null-Magic Mantle + Faerie Charm + 100 G]

** [NEW] UNIQUE Passive: Increases to your % Base Mana Regen stat also increase your % Base Health Regen stat by the same amount.**

Lets review this passive for a moment.

Everytime you increase your "Base mana regen stat", the item gives you equivalent "base health regen". Looks good right?

Think again.

The only items that are COMPLETED that give you mana regen currently live (and one on PBE) are:

  • item 3069 Talisman of Ascension
  • item 3504 Ardent Censer
  • item 3092 Frost Queens Claim
  • item 2302 Eye of the Oasis
  • item 2301 Eye of the Watchers
  • The new Item "Redemption"
  • The two Chalice completed items are excluded because the topic is about how the new passive interacts with obtaining other forms of Mana regen

Instead of leaving the item open to interpretation of being used by anyone that wants to help out or use mana regen, you're pigeon holing it more into having it be worthless because of how much mana regen has been removed already from items currently.

The worst part is, it only works in one direction. You can get base health regen from getting mana regen, but you don't get mana regen from having more base health regen.

You could use mana regen runes, but those currently are in the garbage pile as well because of how little they impact in stats. You would have to buff those runes to make any real use and even then it doesn't fix the problem.

The chalice passive doesn't need fixing and I don't know why you're even thinking about it.

Please stop with removing item options and innovation and mastery overhauls with needless changes like this, I beg you.

If you want to test out this passive, please do it in the form of a new item.
