I think there's a -20 hp item from a quest in Pre-Sear, dunno if they changed it. Also, -20 hp items will drop too... I got a nice +5 armor -20 hp focus the other day.

I got one the other day in GF. I sold it to the merchant.

Why do people want the -20 vs the -50 offhand?

Um, what? If you're talking about the Shadestone that gives +health, not -health. You can find -health items anytime. Where Carinae found it is irrelevant.

necro foci have -20health mod. I think if you can find -20health item post searing then it gotta be a necro item. I wasnt talking about shadestone i was talking about a plain dropped item by monsters.

It doesn't matter whose focus it is, I've seen anything - Scrolls, Cestas, Symbols, Chakrams - all have -health mods.

How is that a good item?

Why would anyone want -HP? Im always looking for +HP items.

Running around with a Enery +6 some Necro skill, +5 AL, +5 AL when fighting, +45 HP Gauntlet right now.

Its for a monk build.
Just run around the forums, you'll bump into it sooner or later.

Yea..its hard to even look at peoples avatars on the forum without some mention of the "pWnz0r" Monk builds...

If you are still in the dark - There is a reason Monks want cruddy Health.
Protective Bond. Basically it, combined with a few other enchantments (for energy proposes) and some spammable healing spells make for an almost invincible Monk vs. melee mobs.

Its a farming thing...You'll hear mention of the dreaded 55/105 monk...and other energy/hp variants. Basically pumped up Energy and pumped down health.

Thats why that otherwise useless item in that image is not only gold (rare), but called "awesome" in this thread.

This is also the reason all those Superior Monk runes cost an arm and a leg (check the trader).

I think this item is an even better for a farming monk. In the build it is very hard to get to 10 divine favor without sacrificing on protective bond length or the amount of smite damage. You are always going to have more than 11 healing!

Anyways, I think it rocks

Someone's a little testy...

Anyhow, the only reason the Symbol's rare is because the armor is +5, max; purples come with +4, and I'm not sure if there are blues with +armor.

Also, in some cases I'd go for +armor vs +health. It's not like I always have to run around with 1500 hp.

I'm not testy. If I had the money I' d build one too. I've always been a supporter of "If you can - Use it" type things in MMOs..Forget if Someone thinks its unfair.

I was just making the observation that it is a touchy subject with alot of people at this moment.

humm I saw a purple focus someplace recently for sale in one of the auction sites...

+12 energy (standard) Req 10 Healing I think... Might have been Prot. but it was 10 for sure..
+10 energy (bonus) while enchanted
+5 armor
10% chance increased recharge .
-1 energy regen
it had -20 health


the last bid I saw was for 100k + 12 ectos. But I'm sure it went for more then that. It was probably the best focus I saw in a long while non Gold or Green.

Man I can't find it now for link... anyone else see that? I think it was on gameamps auction house...

Although it's not as good as the one listed in the earlier post, it's pretty good.

@G.S.: Thats what I had.

No one's answered my question yet: Why do people want the -20 vs the -50 offhand?

The invincimonk build want the lowest possible health dont they? Am I missing something?

With 5 sup runes and -50 item you have 55 health. That is low, but some like to make it even lower. The idea is: before you start farming (aggroing), get yourself killed. After you res, with -50 item you will have 1 health (not good because prot bond/spirit can't reduce damage to 0), but with -20 item you will have 13 health. Now even prot spirit will reduce damage to only 1 so you can use it instead of bond which has been nerfed.
