Charm slot.....Alchemy?

[Jaeden]

As much as everyone thinks JC will, of course, be the skill to make items for this, maybe this will be an additive to Alchemy, something that will make the skill worth getting up?

We're supposed to be Witchdoctors that can hurl curses(slow, cripple), why not charms and fetishes that people can wear

I am betting we will see a new item flag on things that presently go into the range slot. Would be very handy to be able to put a GM trophy or geerlock there for example providing the effects can be made to work. As my main is a Ranger, my range slot has a bow in it ( go figure). Would be nice to take advantage of some of the idols and thingys that are currently available without have to swap the bow in and out.

That makes sence and I don't doubt that will likely happen. Perhaps some bard instraments will be able to fit their as well so that they can do less swapping.

I'd imagine a large number of charms will me skill enhancing items, +2% to defence, +1% to Evocation, etc etc. Perhaps we'll se NEGATIVE stat items: Item: Thoughtful Charm of Weakness Effect: Flowing Thought III, -10% to Evocation Class: WIZ Race: ALL. Something like that making it a possible tradeoff between gains and losses.

Naturally the uber MoBs will drop Flowing Thought V charms and the like. There will likely be some big, grand quest when LoY is released that results in a really good charm similiar to the Solstice Earring quest.

Either that or it'll just be another slot to fill with charms dropping in droves from random MoBs prompting every zone in the game to be flushed out several times by the high end guilds in a vain attempt to get their name on Allakahzam as being the ones to find it first.

Just a note I saw on the SK boards,regarding an article in Game Informer.

Apparently,charms can check if you're wearing X armor and enhance the set if you do. Holy Diablo II,Batman-a Set Bonus for gear?

I want one of these for our cultural armors. *drools at the thought of an upgraded Hateful Heraldic set*

I always thought it a bit odd that you can wear armour or a necklace, but not both. Maybe necklaces will now be wearable in the charm slot.

[Androsulach]

That would be my thought, Grumble. I suppose we'll find out as they post more details in the next week or so.
