I personally like the puzzle solving element of taking an item from start to finish, but it does present a barrier for a lot of people

you can't alt spam on a base like the focused amulet.

I'm still thinking about that myself. Probably something that can benefit from the levels on their reservation skills. So not only more scaling from the primary skill itself but auras and/or other supporting skills. I'm running an SRS build right now using Anger (because I'm getting Wrath from Spectres), so +2 all and +2 fire would benefit that.. but I'm still using Smite which would only get +2 instead of +4. I might have to do some more brainstorming before I commit to damage type. Assuming I even find one this league lol

Should bereally good for Corrupting Cry/Reap.
