I didn't know we were counting. I say -1 for waiting another year.


-2, there were loads of posts on the forums asking for an Earcuff of Orbits reprint this year. Not to mention that there are two extremely desirable new Ioun Stones in the 2021 set, increasing the need for Orbits this year even further.

Can you not use Orion or arcane Bracelets? You can’t use all 3 and get maximum benefits due to the Ioun cap, FYI


Nope


Nope++

What the heck do you guys play? I’ve got rangers, monks, wizards, and clerics on arcane bracelets, and fighters on Orion’s Belt.

Well, playing Rogue means that the wrist slot pretty much has to be Bracers of Guided Strike, so that means I can't use Arcane Bracelets. Orion's Belt is an option, but there are four different belts which can be argued as BiS for Rogues (Orion's, Arcane, Viper Strike, Fire Giant Strength).
I play Rogue. Occasionally I even play Rogue well.

Charm (or Ioun Stone) of Bonding
+1 to hit and +1 dmg to Melee & Missle attacks if you carry only 1 Melee & 1 Missle weapon

Ioun stones are a more contested slot for my single sliding Fighter-type builds at this point but not sure if that's the same for everyone who would be using this.


I believe the reason that Jeff shelved this token for now was that the original idea was that you Bonded with the weapon you carried into the dungeon and could not swap it out. You could swap between melee and ranged, but not from a Staff of Power to a Staff of Focus. Hence the name "Charm of Bonding".

I think he either couldn't figure out a good way to word this effect, or he figured out some other problem with that design.

I think the quality of the Ioun stones in a player's collection heavily influences how strong the expanders feel. Only with the pending release of the Jasper tokens have I considered equipping Orion's.

Ear just has less opportunity cost.... Especially at the red level.

Here's my personal calculation, with not currently owning an extensive collection of volunteer tokens:
OB at 4x the cost of a PYP
$300 to replace a 4* Belt of Ogre Mage Power with the equivalent in charms/stones
For a net gain of 1 Ioun Stone slot

vs.
1 PYP for +2 ioun stones, -2HP (Earcuff of Vitality)

YMMV.

I hear you, Jake. Weapon bonding is probably a bigger idea for a bigger token at a higher level and more abilities. Still, I like the idea for a small UR boost for single sliders. Paladins would particulalry benefit from this.

That said, moving Orbits to next year sounds like a wise move in the grand scheme of tokens as we veterans will have picked up all the slot expanders at a much lower cost than new players will be able to over the next five years. And that will only widen the divide between veterans and new players who want to catch-up.

I also agree with pushing orbits out a year and I want it reprinted but I also dont want a several year gap where nee players dont have access to an expander but it only matters so much with the cap in place.

Should there be a damage type specified for Psyferre's light beam?
