Item Affixes & Modifier Brainstorm

[Archian]

Bashiok started a thread on the Diablo 3 Battle.net forums where he asks posters to suggest affixes and modifiers for items.

In a recent thread I gave some information on our customization options in Diablo III. In that thread I also let everyone know that we`re adding a ton of new item affixes. We`re looking to have a lot of interesting stats and to really kick down the gates and see how many diffrent modifications we can throw out there. To help us with that we`d like you to throw out some of your own ideas.

An affix is essentially is just a stat or modifying statement on an item. It may increase a basic stat like Strength, or it may do something a bit more interesting like cause an enemy to take nature damage over time. An example of the kind of post we`re looking for (these aren`t final):

Increased chance to find gold
Additional XP gained from killing monsters
Restores life for each successful hit

It`s not necessary to worry about how balanced it may or may not be, if it scales or is a fixed amount, or any in-depth details on how it will play out. This is essentially a brainstorm. Throw out your ideas however crazy they may sound and let us worry about seeing if it`ll work or not, and how. A list just like the one I gave works perfectly well for us. If you want to also throw on an affix name feel free but it isn`t necessary.

Let`s keep any discussion to a minimum too please. It`s a brainstorm, this isn`t a place to critique off the wall ideas.

Blizzard do care about their consumers. Hurray for that

Second to comment ,I knew it!

Diablo 3 isn't lost!

Well about item affixes

I think the old ones are just about enough and ''on the limit'', I can't find any better options!

 

[Eccho]

Yeah, except that the first and the last one are hacked items D;

Edit: I know, you used them to demostrate the great amount of different affixes

 

[Callahan]

Hey they ask us to do their work!

 

[Eccho]

Nah, I think it's good to allow their dedicated fans and consumers to brainstorm a bit to make the game more variated of ideas.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Yeah,but,Callahan is right!

If they bring back the old affixes,the game would be perfect!

Huh lets see,
-20% Chance to bleed 100 damage over 10 seconds to the target stacks 3 times.
-30% Chance of Increasing Dex with 200 stacks 3 times
-10% Chance of causing a Knockback to a non-hero unit
-35% chance of increasing Armor with 500 for 20 seconds stacks 5 times
-x Chance of evading attacks for 5 seconds

 

[Eccho]

Blackscar, I think you should post it here

 

[Archian]

Well, I supose I could set up a thread.
It would be an opportunity for members of the HiveWorkshop to contribute as well by posting their suggestions in such thread. I would be willing to forward the suggestions to the Diablo III forums on Battle.net.

 

[Blackscar]

That sounds great imo.

 

[NearbyHermit]

It does,but we must conduct all sorts of combos!

Newer affixes are hard to find!

Just a few ideas I have...

------On attack suffixes (weapons)------

25% of delivering a spectral attack
Converts all the physical damage of the weapon to magic damage for that attack which ignores defense

25% of delivering a crippling blow
Reduce the damage & attack speed of target by 25%.

25% of blinding blow
Non-heroes are unable to attack. Heroes have no L.O.S. for a very short duration

25% of Taunting Target
Cause target non-hero unit to be forced to attack the hero and cause hero to have 300 bonus armor vs that unit. Only effects non heroes

% chance of cleaving
Grants the player a "Zeal" when killing a unit granting an very fast additional attack. If that additional attack kills an unit the player gets another additional attack.
(Very usefull againts masses of units. Useless pvp)

----------"Special Suffixes"--------

% of Implosion
Apon killing units they are effected by a Corpse Explosion like effect, dealing damage based on their max life to nearby units. This shouldn't effect heroes.

Ignite #
When attacked the player become ignited, taking # every 2 seconds, but while the player is ignited the player deals +# fire damage and cause target to take staking # damage every second. The damage the player takes deals to itself with ignite does not stack.
(Very usefull for players with a high fire resistance and fast attack speed. Extreamly potent vs bosses. Very weak vs masses of mosters)

Contagion #
As above except poison damage

Frost Bite #
When attacked the caster become slowed by 25%. While the hero is under the effects of frost bite, all its attacks deal # bonus cold damage and slow units.

redeeming %
Converts a % of the damage taken an adds it to mana


Delay Poison %
When the player is poisoned it, the poison duration is increased by that %.
Example
The player takes 6 Poison damage over 2 seconds
The player has a item with Delay Poison 100%
The player now takes 6 poison damage over 4 seconds instead.

% Freedom of Movement
Reduce the pecentage at which the player is slowed by %.

-------------Apon attacked:--------

25% chance of becoming Ethereal apon dealt damage
Cause the hero to gain 80% physical resistance, but reducing its physical damage by 80% and increasing damage taken from pure "magic" attacks by 80%.
(Would be very usefull for spellcasters!)

25% chance of repulse
Knockbacks non-hero melee attackers. Heroes become interupted.

5% chance of creating Illusion
chance of creating a "Decoy"of the player like the the Decoy ability of the amazon (Diablo II)
(Very usefull againts monsters to divert some of the attacks of monsters)

Ah sorry,but all of these Affixes are imba!

Something basic should be added,as they'll be all massed in items!
