Divine Sinks: Improving Divining Uniques
One of the main intended divine orb sinks is the rolling of uniques, as stated today by Johnathan and Mark.
I think the main reason they have missed that people are not bothering to divine uniques (aside from the expense of a divine) is that most uniques worth rolling are corrupted for the chance at the 1.22x modifier increase, which has an inbuilt divining first. I personally think a great solve for this is an 'Omen of Stable Corruption'. Something that would make 'corruption outcomes more predictable'. The actual effect to be something along the lines of you are twice as likely to have the multiplier apply to the item, and it does not divine the item before hand. If this omen isn't horrendously rare, then it would mean that spending divines to get good rolls may actually make sense before corrupting it. The new omen would still have the chance for bad outcomes, including a low multiplier rather than a high one. It would just mean that divining is more worthwhile on something like a widowhail or an ingenuity, since you can increase your likelihood of getting a high 200s widowhail or 90s ingenuity by spending a few divines. I don't think this is a complete fix by any means, however in my experience I would never think to divine the uniques worth divining when going for the corruption outcome is so much cheaper and yields such higher potential. -- Kind of similar but not critical to the main point -- Having omens for each of the corruption outcomes could be interesting. Such as making an enchant outcome more likely with lucky rolls, or socket outcomes more likely. No idea if anyone has had similar thoughts to fix this with an existing game system, or if I am completely off base with it, but it really feels like the one sink they felt like divines would have is mostly replaced by a simple vaal orb, and an omen that prevents the divining of an item would be a neat way to make both the sink and the vaaling relevant without removing the divining outcome on a vaal orb. Thanks for giving my thoughts a read. Last edited by Tomanomanous#2864 on Jan 12, 2025, 9:14:19 PM Last bumped on Jan 12, 2025, 8:59:17 PM
