Gold and better loot/Chest drops maybe Tel Var too.

I have no issues with a trait that increase Gold. I do, however, have issues with a trait that increases gold so minimally it hardly does jack ***. Increase the % to something more substantial because no one is going to run a full Prosperous set to get a decent additional gold gained in a system that drops so little in the first place, especially when it may hinder their farming speed.

I think a trait that reduces critical damage would be better. Then PvPers would actually want some dungeon loot... Wait a second...

In all seriousness, I don't get how there hasn't been a trait that interacts with item looting.

Kindred: Increases the chance to loot the same item type (slot, weight) from sources (mobs, chests, crates?) by 25/35/45/55 %

So basically, if you're hunting a looted set of some kind, you would want to wear temp gear with this trait only on the parts you lack. You would see much more of the same item type (ie 'epaulet' or 'cuirass' or 'helm') in the trash and set loot. Would make an expensive but visible path to hunting items. As far as weapons, uhh... I don't know if you could/should put this there too, or over what trait.

Prosperous
- All loot you receive has a 1/2/3/4/5% greater chance of dropping with the Divines trait.

9 legendary pieces would mean a +45% chance of your loot dropping with Divines. I love how you'd hate to see Prosperous still but the more you get, the greater your chance is of getting good stuff later. A very odd sort of gear balance.

get rid of it completely and totally from cp160 gear and all endgame content.

Re-working Prosperous

Kept as "Prosperous", it would need to be "Increase gains from all looted currencies by 15% "(for gold pieces), so a 7pc set increases gold and telvar stones looted from mobs, chests, and (for telvar) enemy players by another 105%, or 100+105=205% reward.

I kill a player with 600 telvar, I get 615 telvar (if the rate is kept at 50% lost per death for players).
I kill a mob with 200 telvar, I get 410 telvar.
I loot a mob with 10 gold, I get 21 gold (rounding up).
I loot a chest with 60 gold I get 123 gold.

I mean, if you are going to give up infused, divines, or impen for it, it needs to be worth it. I'm still not sure this boost is worth it. You are losing a lot in potential damage/healing/damage mitigation for this. Might have to take the percent bonus up more. But at least with this "any looted currency" it's broad enough to have potential for desirability.

Tested with the gold per piece bonus at 20%, a 7 pc set bonus is an extra 140% on top of the norm, so 240% total. Plugging that in, we get:

I kill a player with 600 telvar, I get 720 telvar (if the rate is kept at 50% lost per death for players).
I kill a mob with 200 telvar, I get 480 telvar.
I loot a mob with 10 gold, I get 24 gold.
I loot a chest with 60 gold I get 144 gold.

I definitely like the second one better. If you would have normally ground out 8000 telvar for a trip to IC, you would instead leave with 19,200. If you would have looted 3000 gold from mobs and chests while exploring and questing, you would instead receive 7200. This sounds more like something people might want to craft, but, I would still leave it out of end-game loot tables. If you want to grind and risk not having the other crafting bonuses, well, this is definitely a risk/reward scenario with an ample reward.

Replacing Prosperous

As far as dumping prosperous and replacing it with something entirely new, there are so many possibilities. The following are per piece of armor improved to gold level quality:

Mercantile: sell items for 14% more to merchants. With 7 pcs that's 198% more you get for things you sell. The downside is that most stuff sells for so little, so having a gold set just for selling things? Meh. I guess you could give it the 20% per item bonus, for a total of 240% the usual cost of the item to make it worthwhile to, well, someone. I mean, if you loot all the junk you get while adventuring and exploring it could actually add up nicely. Still, I would keep it off of the end-game loot tables, crafting only.

Nimble: Weapon attack speed is increased by 2.5%. So at 7pcs that's 15% faster light and heavy weapon attacks. I'm not sure that's fast enough to make a real difference. It would need testing obviously. The next bump would be 3% per piece, or 21% for a 7 pc set. Sounds good, especially with animation canceling. But whatever the number, the concept is obvious. If it were a good enough speed bonus, this might actually be worth a spot on end-game loot tables.


I will have to add more later, need to go.
