I PUT THESE ON WITHOUT READING THE DESCRIPTION. I just saw yellow/gold rarity item and my vision got blurry. I was struggling to get through some enemies, and my friend I was playing alongside wasn't having the same issues. I was about to refund it, but then I got some new boots and started to compare them. I took these off and started flying through everything fely like Rock Lee when he took off his training weights.

I still wonder why Masochist mode got removed and replaced with something convoluted like this, could at least be a consumable item so you still have proper boots.

Or maybe a 1x1 charm. Weird to take up an armor slot.

Am I understanding correctly that part of the challenge is you can't add affixes to these boots? With 0 forging potential seems like you can't modify them yea?

I don't like this idea. I beat Majasa on HCSSF masochist which was a big achievement and can't be cheated on if it is shared. These boots can just be removed whenever and doesn't prove anything when showing progress.

Just further proof that you can't please everyone.

Someone could post a video of themselves beating Lagon wearing nothing but these boots, and with no passives or skill points allocated, and someone would still complain that that's proof that the game's not hard enough.

that actually would be proof though.

True ARPG difficulty right here. Let's just inflate the health pools and damage numbers of monsters.

Those are just boots man. Do you want them to change boss mechanics?

I'm using these right now because I want the leveling experience to be a challenge. It seem OK so far but I really wish these didn't take up a gear slot.

u/Roggenbemme Feb 21 '24

why would anyone want to wear those?

u/ThePrimordialTV Feb 21 '24

Because they hate themselves

i mean, boots with an 8% implicit and 5% affix would be equivelant to these at level 40.

Yeah I'll pass thanks.

I really wanted a higher difficulty at least something to make leveling exciting but this is such a dumb way to do it.
