Lamp:. Too over powered for Slotless. If you dial the hp back to 1,2,3,4,5 I guarantee you everyone will still buy it.


But will they buy 10? In it's current form I guarantee it will drive sales, and let's be honest hps are probably the thing in TD that's tracked least accurately. I'm not saying that ok, but IMO this design works for a lot of reasons.

P.S. I love the idea of broach slot starting with an expander. It's not slot lock at this point, its slot identity. If the broach slot is used primarily for charm/bead/iOS expanders kept in check by the expander cap I think it would be really fun and take some pressure off orbits & arcane ear cuff. Doing it this way probably also gets us ahead of some of L&L arguments when the next you know what roles around, which I only see as a good thing.

I hadn't made it to the commons yet. It's nice to see there's a chance for casters to pull one from a starting pack.
Even if there is one that allows WIS in 2022 I'm willing to wait and lobby for a UR next year.

My reading is INT or WIS is the only stat used for the to Hit. I'm not sure if there is any planned bonus to damage from a stat.


If it is instead of DEX, not also DEX, then these staffs are absolute trash.

On the lamp maybe just make it just like charm of synergy instead of all the every 2 players thing.

On the Broach if it’s slotless maybe add a WIS, INT, or CHA requirements to it.

The problem with adding new slots is they need to be filled every year or two. There was a discussion a few years ago of having beads being expanded by wisdom, that might be a good thing to revisit. I know the best argument against that is Charm of Enlightenment, but still something to consider.
Could do something like 18 WIS Extra Bead, 24 WIS extra bead
Replace the Broach with a Greater Charm of Enlightenment +12 WIS, this would make you use a current slot while expanding the Bead slot, make WIS more than just will saves for everyone.

My two favorite are the Brooch and Lucky Charm.

I don't think using the Mage Staff is supposed to main the Wizards first choice of actions, it's the back up for when they want to save spells. The main obstacle for it right now is there is only one item in the game that boosts INT and no other reason to equip it because currently INT does nothing else. I'd really like to see more +INT tokens to make it at least somewhat useful this year, but I doubt it until we see it do something else in game.

My first reaction was to assume the brooch was slotless and I'm ok with that. My second reaction was why not just expand the bead slot, but then from a sales standpoint this makes total sense. If you want to maximize sales on this, just keep it slotless and it will become a must have. In the end, all it really does is expand the bead slot for anyone willing to shell out the price of a pyp.

Disappointed that the Earcuff of Orbits was dropped, but the Charm Bracelets were kept, when the Earcuff has been out of print a year longer.

Mixed feelings about the Chaos Cannon’s max damage being the same as the Common 1 hand Pistol.

Earcuff of the Ravager seems very very strong.

Well, three items, but two of them are the Relic/Legendary robes, so really two. Your point remains. I thought I read somewhere that the INT was in addition to DEX to hit, but it may have just been a discussion about the subject and nothing official.

Wizard sacrifices on average 15 damage to slide this since it gains nothing from Focus items. It will always be terrible if it's not allowed to gain from focus on damage.

It will be bought for the SoP effect, equipped and ignored.

Sadly as printed it's barely better than a stunning crossbow, more chance to hit but crap damage

I’m really not a fan of the brooch as slotless. With legendary charm bracelets coming, and legendary IS expander planned, make the bead expander a earcuff. Players will get to have their cake and eat it too with all the power of legendary slot expanders, but at least the bead expander uses an existing slot.

I'd agree with that. If we are looking to bump sales a bit this year to help cover a token cost increase, then reprinting the Earcuff of Orbits this year with a transmute path and doing the Charm Bracelets later is the better way to go. Earcuff of Orbits has been out of print longer and is significantly higher in demand.
