TOPIC: SUPER Final Rare Images

Okay...I am starting to make the printing plates at 1pm Central on Sunday. Please look for typos and other errors.

Thanks!

Ok, the bard amulet is much better. Is it lyre of lore with a +1 hit/dmg? That's awesome.

I still think necklace of the woodlands is too good for the rare level, but I might be in the minority.

Much preferred Pandant of the Pure with Retribution rather than DR. Any chance we could go back?

Could Scroll Holy fire be 2/1? Or 4/1? Honestly, I doubt anyone will spend this unless there is a room full of insects.

Wand of the Fire Snakes lost Clerics.

I don't see any typos. Happy to see the change to Necklace of the Songbird!

Medallion of Keenness requiring 2 other Rares to use could be disappointing for a first-time player. Maybe consider "When using a shield & 1-handed weapon, both Rare or lower, you critical on 19-20"?

Is Necklace of the Songbird intended to stack with instruments? As I understand it this would take the legendary lute to +5/+5.

Nice change to Amulet of Flawsight - short and sweet.

Confirming my understanding, even while not sneaking, it makes any target critable by the Rogue?

Necklace of the Songbird - new BiS at all play tiers for Bard (assuming you can use this and another instrument - this doesn't look like a harmonica so I'm supposing it stacks with another instrument).

Necklace of the Woodlands:

+4 damage with ranged weapons is a UR hand slot effect (Glove of Greater Archery)
+3 damage with melee weapons is a UR ring slot effect (Ring of the Eeel)

This is better/competitive than any existing neck slot item at any rarity for melee rangers.
It's better/competitive than everything but the Relic Ranger Transmute for ranged rangers.

I'd scale this down to +3 damage to ranged or +2 damage to melee.

Alternatively, I might add a drawback, Maybe: +3 damage to melee or ranged, but -1 damage to the other (choose at start)

Robe of the Sage:

For consistency should probably say:

"...& +1 damage with damage Scrolls (Torso Slot)"

Transmute categories, classes, hands, damage wheels look right to me.

There is only 1 two handed melee weapon in the C/UC/R set to pair with the Barbarian Necklace.

(The uncommon Goblin Maul).

The art for the UC and Rare Decapitator sure looks like a 2 handed melee weapon to me.

I'd either:

A. Add a common to two handed melee weapon - probably making Goblin Club a functional reprint of 2 handed Adventurer's Stuff, or by replacing Earcuff of the Wild (there's going to be plenty of PS this year as is...)

B. Change the Decapitator to a two handed weapon at UC and Rare.

I like the simplicity of wording on Amulet of Flawsight, I'm a bit worried that it no longer has +2 to hit though. When playing with a token pool at R and lower, one of the biggest hurdles a Rogue faces is how to hit with their Sneak Attacks when they have a low starting STR. Is there any way that the +2 to hit can be added back in, I don't think it would cause any issues since at R level you'll only be doing one Sneak Attack per combat and are still using a valuable neck slot to equip the Amulet (which would otherwise very likely be Amulet of Vigor, providing +2 STR and +3HP).

I agree, but probably too late.
