↖ New Unique Items

Season 2 introduces 12 new unique items, consisting of seven General uniques usable by all classes and one class-specific unique for each class. Here's a breakdown of some of these intriguing items:

 

↖ - Tassets of the Dawning Sky (General Unique - Pants)

• Effect: When you take damage from a non-physical damage type, you gain 6 to 10% maximum resistance to that damage type for 6 seconds. This effect can only apply to one damage type at a time.
• Insight: These pants are particularly potent against endgame bosses focused on specific elemental damage types, making them invaluable for surviving in Season 2's new boss encounters.

 

↖ - Gods Slayer Crown (General Unique - Helmet)

• Effect: When you stun, freeze, or immobilize an elite enemy or damage a boss, it pulls in nearby enemies, and you deal 30 to 60% increased damage to them for 3 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 12 seconds.
• Insight: Consider using this helmet if your class has ways to apply crowd control effects, as it provides a significant damage boost, especially against bosses.

 

↖ - Flicker Step (General Unique - Boots)

• Effect: Each enemy you evade through reduces your ultimate cooldown by 2 to 4 seconds, up to 10 seconds.
• Insight: These boots are highly valuable for classes with powerful ultimate abilities, as they drastically reduce cooldowns. They're even more potent since most classes don't typically use unique boots, leaving room for their inclusion.

 

↖ - Talt Will (General Unique - Pants)

• Effect: You deal 20 to 40% multiplicative increased damage while Unstoppable and for 4 seconds after. When you become Unstoppable, gain 50% of your primary resource.
• Insight: Ideal for builds involving Unstoppable abilities and resource-heavy playstyles, these pants offer both damage amplification and resource regeneration.

 

↖ - Zal's Corroded Signet (General Unique - Ring)

• Effect: Your damage over time effects have up to a 50% chance to erupt, dealing additional damage of the same type to nearby enemies.
• Insight: This ring can enhance damage over time builds significantly, potentially offering substantial area-of-effect damage.

 

↖ - Soul Brand (General Unique - Chest Piece)

• Effect: Your healing potion no longer heals instantly but grants a barrier for 200% of the healing for 4 seconds. While you have a barrier, you gain 10 to 20% damage reduction.
• Insight: In Season 2, this chest piece could shine, especially with the Vampire Power that heals you whenever you cast an ability. The barrier and damage reduction make it effective for surviving bursts of damage.

 

↖ - Banished Lord's Talisman (General Unique - Amulet)

• Effect: After spending 300 of your primary resource, your next core skill is guaranteed to overpower. Critical strikes that overpower deal 80 to 120% increased damage (multiplicative).
• Insight: A perfect fit for pulverized Druids, this amulet synergizes with guaranteed overpower mechanics, potentially delivering massive single-hit damage.

 

↖ Class-Specific Uniques

Each class receives a unique item tailored to its strengths and abilities. Here's a quick overview:

• Barbarian: Tusk Helm of Joritz the Mighty - Amplifies berserking effects with added damage, Fury generation, and cooldown reduction.
• Druid: Dolman Stone - Transforms the Hurricane skill, causing cast Boulders to circle around you, opening up new gameplay dynamics.
• Necromancer: Blood Moon Breaches - Enhances minion capabilities by introducing curses that lead to powerful overpowered damage increases.
• Rogue: Scoundrel's Leathers - Empowers core skills with the potential to spawn deadly traps when unlimited energy is active through Inner Sight.
• Sorcerer: Blue Rose - Adds a chance to unleash exploding ice spikes when damaging enemies, with increased chances against frozen targets.
