My idea for the next season theme

General Discussion

When I remember, what season theme gave the most fun for creating build ideas, I would say the one we had the royal-grandeur ring for free.
It gave the chance to have more sets available for mixing.
This idea I would like to boost, like blizz said early, then we doubled it.
At the moment each class has one set, the first set, what could be used for mixing to have 6-4 set boni. Like IK6 and 4 Rakor or others.
But it is never possible to have also Mixes like 6Raekor and4 H90 or for other classes, the mix of sets that are 6 pieces only and therefore have to many slots for same.
And here starts my idea for the season theme.
Oh one at first, it will terrible heavy boost our damage, so bigga numbaz included.
If you wear one piece of a set it counts as two pieces. If you have 3 pieces it gives 4 pieces bonus and if you wear 4 pieces it gives the 6 piece bonus.
You could also use the ring of royal grandeur so you can have 2 times 3 pieces and by the ring it makes double 6 piece Bonus like 6Raekor/6H90 or Helltooth/mundunungus or what ever you want from each class.

Would this make fun?
What do you think? Is it too much?
Maybe some adjustment?

So, just off the top of my head, assuming a Barb with RoRG, Ambo’s and Lamentation in the Cube, where

  1. 1 piece = 2 piece bonus
  2. 2 pieces = 4 piece bonus
  3. 3 pieces = 6 piece bonus

The 13 equipped items could be…

  1. Helm - Wastes
  2. Shoulder - Wastes
  3. Chest - Wastes
  4. Belt - Captain Crimson
  5. Gloves - Immortal King
  6. Legs - Immortal King
  7. Boots - Immortal King
  8. Bracers - Aughild’s
  9. Weapon 1 - Bul Kathos
  10. Weapon 2 - Slanderer
  11. Amulet - Flavor of Time
  12. Ring 1 - Compass Rose
  13. Ring 2 - Focus

This would give you the following bonuses…

  1. Wastes = 10,000% Rend / WW damage
  2. IK = 4000% damage
  3. Crimson = 50% damage (assuming easily obtained CDR levels)
  4. Aughild’s = 30% damage, 60% versus elites
  5. BK swords = 45% attack speed, permanent fury
  6. IPB swords = 30% attack speed, 30% damage, 30% armour
  7. Endless walk = 100% damage stationary, 50% damage mitigation moving
  8. Focus+Restraint = 225% damage

So, let’s total that up…

  1. 10,000% = 100 times
  2. 4,000 = 40 times
  3. 50% = 1.5 times
  4. 30% = 1.3 times
  5. 30% = 1.3 times
  6. 225% = 2.25 times

That’s 100 * 40 * 1.5 * 1.3 * 1.3 * 1.3 * 2.25 = 22,815 times weapon damage

If your intention was just to get everyone to solo a GR150 this would take care of that pretty easily.

this is indeed a lot.

But I guess next season has to top the actual and while the s20 is not so good for exp than the one before, there will surely come something that will allow the players to easily get to GR120 even with P1500. The GR150 is no longer a real thing and it is only about the time what makes difference at the top rankings.
