The Spirit - Yakuyoke Amulet

I'm pretty happy with the Spirit changes, except this add-on. It definitely deserved to be nerfed because it was basically Carburetor Tuning Guide for Spirit. But I think they went overboard.

Here are the new stats if I read the dev post right:

  • Increases haunting duration by 3.5 seconds.
  • Decreases haunting speed by 15%

Is this really worthy of a Very Rare add-on? Why would I use this over Katsumori Talisman? Downsides on add-ons are fine and can be interesting, but this one is too harsh in my opinion. Thoughts?

  • I think it's too harsh as well, but I'm imagining they want you to run a speed addon alongside it. If they just removed the effect it had on movement speed I think that would be for the best.

    Agreed its too harsh. I can't see myself ever using it anymore. It was absurdly overpowered before but now its not worth using.

    Agreed. I actually made this exact post already (should use the search function you 😡😡😡😡 no jk it's cool).

    The way I see it is this.

    Currently, it's like having her 3 yellow add-ons at once. A better "nerf" for it would be to just tune down the numbers so it's like having 3 brown add-ons instead. That seems more than reasonable to me. The problem isn't that it does 3 things at once, the problem is it does 3 things at once really well.

    I just hope this one change doesn't make it past the PTB. Everything else I'm okay with and I am someone that felt Spirit was just fine as she is (aside from Prayer Beads).

    Oh sorry I didn't see your post! I'll be sure to search next time haha.

    I like your suggestion, and honestly that's how I expected them to nerf it, but they went ahead and added a downside. Here's hoping they adjust it in the PTB.
