📋 About This Mod
Description
Thanks to weirdsqurl2 for the idea, I decided to make a legendary armor set using the armor model as seen worn by the Guardian. Keep in mind, each of these pieces of gear are Legendary, so altogether they'll be very powerful. Just like my "Armour of Vengeance" mod, I threw out balance and decided to create this with a combination of staying on theme and giving in to power fantasy. I like to think I went a little less extra with this one though.
I created/co-opted a few of the passives or directly used some that can be seen on other pieces of gear. I tried my best to test this mod out over and over again, but if you see any glaring issues, please let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to address/fix them.
How to obtain:
-
[]Tutorial Chest - Can be summoned using this mod or found on the Nautiloid early game (X:60, Y:-360). Room east of where you find Shadowheart.
[
]Arron at Druid's Grove[]Dammon in Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3
[]Quartermaster Talli in Act 2
[]Danthelon's Dancing Axe in Act 3
I know it's not immersive that it's available in so many places. This was done so anyone at any point in their campaign could obtain the armor.
