TOPIC: Boots of the Four Winds

Did we ever get any info drop on what this is going to end up being?

We got a rough idea IIRC. Its supposed to be like +5 to all damage.
I'm sure there is a thread somewhere.

Based on the ring set it's likely to be +6 Eldritch damage to everything. And some secondary effect

I think the secondary effect was an Amulet of Thorns effect, doing something like 4 damage to any monster that hits you in melee.

I'd imagine it's all subject to change though...

there's this

When you have all four "Wind Boots" collected (in 2016), you can transmute them into the "Boots of the Four Winds" which dovetails with the power of the Supreme Ring of Elemental Command—only it adds 5 points of Eldritch damage to your attacks (instead of protecting you from an elemental type.)

Any idea if it'll be melee only or more like the dracolich claw affecting both ranged and melee?

You know as much as I do.

Since Eldritch items are rather powerful, I would speculate it would affect all attacks, but that's just me pulling that idea out of where I can't easily reach.

Knock on wood

If it's only melee it wouldn't be worth transmuting.

4 boots, 1HM, 2HM, Ranged and Spell

I expect the transmute to give 5 damage to all 4 attack types.

that is exactly what was discussed. I am hoping it does a little something extra beyond that, but so far the eldritch items haven't been uber-powerful on their own; it is the set bonuses for them that are insane.

I expect some form of secondary power to it. The Elemental Ring has one, I expect this one will too.
