Trident of the Octopus King
Posted: Wednesday, 12th September 2018, 08:33
There are a lot of artifacts that are good if you get them early game and weaker later in the game when you get enchant weapon scrolls and make a vanilla weapon.
These are fine to have in the game in general. Trident of the octopus king is a +8 Trident of Venom with 2 rPois rElec MR+. Often when this drops a polearm user would rather use a +9 Demon Trident of Elec or Pierce. 3 higher base damage and a better brand is a huge increase in dps.
This would be fine for most artifacts. However this artifact is designed to be a super late game artifact. It gets +2 slaying for each ring of the octopus king you are wearing. A small bonus but a cool design idea. Even if you are lucky enough to get one ring and this weapon it is almost always better to still use a +9 demon trident of elec. And usually by the time you have both octopus items you are able to make a good demon trident.
I am suggesting we change the Trident of the Octopus King into a demon trident +8 so it can compete with +9 demon trident of elec a bit better. Let people live the dream when it comes up and not lose DPS.
You can still find unrandart +11 demon trident of elec or pierce and it would be better than the octopus king unrandart in both slaying and brand (which is fine).
