Unfortunately, none of these are balanced.

Volcar's Mighty Fists Req. Lvl 67
Level 25 Conviction Aura When Equipped.

Every caster out there will wear these.


Spoonbender Req. Lvl 99
200% Faster Cast Rate
100% Chance To Cast Level 10 Bone Spirit On Casting.
Level 5 Meditation Aura When Equipped.

Again, EVERY spellcaster out there will want a pair of these. Plus they only give +5 to telekinesis... it'd be better to simply wear these with a 200 fast cast (Oh yeah, this item gives that) fireball, since telekinesis doesn't do... well... anything.


Soul Shot Req Lvl. 73
500% Enhanced Damage
+1 Burst of Speed
50% Deadly Strike
50% Chance of Attack Being Unblockable

That's exactly what we need - faithzons with burst of speed AND fanatacism. Or just ridiculous speed with a weapon capable of well over 2k max damage.

The gloves have a rediculous strength requirement and FCR penalty. Even if you gpt the strength and somehow worked up the FCR to even it out, you'd have to shift the whole design. I believe the Ogre Gauntlets take 185 Strength. That amounts in less life. Plus, how many Hammerdins and FoHers do you see around? Their Convictions will eat up yours.

Spoonbender gives a massive -3 to Skills, which hurts even a fully synergized fireball by a decent amount of damage. It also have a required level 99, so it would take massive amounts of time to use this sucker.

Burst of Speed wouldn't help faithzon's that much because they already need almost no IAS to hit that last breaking point. Sure it does massive amounts of damage, but it is extremely slow and meleeing with a 2h never works out as hoped. You could try to Jab with it, but I have a feeling by the time you got close you'd be dead in most duels due to lack of really blocking.
 
Having something to cast high levels of psychic hammer would be nice...I dont know if it would work too well if your opponent has high FHR but it would be a nice defense mechanism.
 
Just the Level 12 conviction aura on an infinity is ridiculously unbalancing. Have you seen a lightning sorc with one? I've been in games where one lightning sorc took out p8 baal minions before I even had time to land a hit on one. No one would think twice about upping their strength to that level. Everyone would play a lightning sorc and kill virtually every enemy in the game instantaneously with that thing. I'd say that's pretty unbalancing.
 
The spear is not unbalanced. The orb is, at least a bit. Level99req makes up for most of it, but I still wouldn't put as much as 200%fcr on it. Maybe 100%.

As for the gloves, the increased infinity lvl would make up for a bit more fire and cold immunes so that other builds can compare to a light sorc. It is still overpowered, imo.

My option:


<insert name here>
Any staff weapon.

+5 to all skills
+1-3 frozen orb (staffmod)
+1-3 hydra (staffmod)
+1-3 energy shield (staffmod)
Sanctuary aura lvl20
50% faster cast rate
Increased maximum mana 45%
50% chance to cast lvl10 static field on hit
Open sockets (4)
 
And that one is balanced?... My would look like this.
Berserker Axe
700% ed
6 Sox
100% ias
75% crushing blow
10 LL
10 ML
20+ all skills
Balanced ey?
 
My contribution:

Wand of Uber Pwnage
2 to 5 One Hand Damage
Req. Level - 5
+1 to Find All Itamz in the game (Necromancer Only)
Level 2 PK that N00b (13/13 Charges)

I really like this one, not too unbalanced since its a staff and would not get resist from shield, the sanctuary is really nice to stun mobs.

I would name this one Akara's truesight
 
Feral Height: (Unique Feral Claw)
Req. Level - 92
100-150 Damage (whatever ED, or +x damage it is)
+30 Hurricane (main cast)
+20 Twister (gives duration boost)
+1 Whirlwind
+20%FCR
+20IAS
+66% openwound

Basically you're surrounded by hurricane, whilst whirlwind with an assassin.

Perfect Eye Candy.

6 open sockets in a 500% ethereal self repairing 2hander?? Are we talking about the supreme overkill or what?

How about this

Nemesis

EthGulZodGulSur

Made in amazon only spears. Time for spearzons to rise (and gul to get some value). Although allowing the polearm only ladder runewords into spears would help as well.

80% ias
40% bonus to attack rating
100% bonus to defense
330%-380% ed
Hit Blinds Target
Ignores Target's defense
12% mana stolen per hit
-33% target's defense
140-290 magic damage
Indestructible

For those poor druid summoners.

Hermit's Roar

Unique Dream Spirit

160%-200% ed
Requiremens -15%
2 to all druid skills
10% to all resists.
4 to summoning skills
+7-16 to spirit wolf
+7-16 to dire wolf
+7-16 to grizzly
25-50 to dexterity
2 open sockets.

Should help the minions survive hell better, and the open sockets should allow the druid to customize the helm according to his supporting attack.

Paladin Sacrifice:

Diomede's Crimson Cloak

Unique seraph rod.

15% ias
+2 to offensive auras (paladin only)
240-300% enhanced damage
200% damage to undead
Ignore's target defense
+40-80 damage
20-30% life stolen per hit (varies)
16 life after each kill
200-250 fire damage
Damage reduced by 10%

Just another elite scepter similar to heaven's/redeemer/astreon's ,only this one is more powerful than the rest but filthy slow with anything else than normal attack. Leech,damage reduction and itd should make it sacrifice viable.
 
IMO if anyone takes their time to lvl to 99 they should be rewarded. The effort spent getting there is just ridiculous, most players just wouldnt bother anyway.

Now that was very funny to read:
"Their Convictions will eat up yours."

For your information: a Lvl25 conviction is the cap, you can't get more than -150% to enemy cold/fire/lightning resistances.
