Well didn't really think about dual wielding those,perhaps a Willpower feed can balance this out?Point well taken though.Just a couple objections there :
Fully upped, that will be a level 52 item
Isn't upgrade limited to a max of 15 times,meaning it will actually reach level 60?Just asking,the 2.0 peaks are kinda fuzzy on me right now to remember if they decreased the upgrade limit.If that's the case I should reconsider the item level.
18-20% chance on hit from each would mean 36-40% chance total/per hit.
Do they actually stack or is it in the form of "each hit has a 18-20% x2 to proc"?Meaning they're calculated seperately?
If they actually stack,it's indeed out of the question it will be OP'd when used with Firestorm and I should have it lowered.
52 extra Will (from the pair) AND a 40% reduction in skill cost means that Firestorm can be unleashed that much longer. AND the shield pene to boot....
52 extra Willpower from the pair is indeed a hefty bonus,don't know how OP'd that one's considered though.The Slipnaught for instance gives a +26 Stamina bonus,not as crucial to an Evoker as Willpower,but still.Perhaps it's indeed too much though and should be scaled down as well.
About the 40% skill cost reduction though,being Mutentacles they'd have an inherent +20% skill cost each.The point of the -20% skill cost reduction affix was just to balance it out.
About shield penetration,how does a roughly 45% affix sound?It'd still be a clean 90% when in a pair,but that one could perhaps be balanced out too by say,fewer mod slots.
And after all,dual wielding the same unique really isn't the easiest feat to accomplish.Especially if the drop rates for uniques are slightly dropped,imagine the odds of finding this one unique among all those 2.0 will include.
