I think Philosopher's Stone is S+ IF you get it on the first stage, but the later in the run you get it, its value drops down to like C or even D tier if you get it on the third stage. I also think Father time's hourglass is very underwhelming. I definitely need to start using more cursed objects, I always get nervous about the debuff aspects of them. Thanks for the video, very inciteful!
I definitely agree that it's stronger early, the only issue is that having a lot of vitality isn't great if you don't have a lot of healing. It's not a bad thing to have more HP, but it can feel pretty bad making incremental progress to filling back up to full HP. Cursed objects are great, tho! I think Black Lotus is the best, objectively, due to the "negative" effect not mattering. Thanks for the comment :)
Chainmail is actually v good if you’re not picking up vitality and you have some healing options. Mel with GC can be unkillable, also great with Scarlet shapelshifter builds. Or just grab it with a grail and maybe hourglass and suddenly you don’t need any other defensive stats and can play crazy agro. It’s a really cool concept I think. But that’s the cool thing about this game, most items can be good or bad depending on subtle interactions with you get them or what your build is. Pretty much agree with everything on this list though…anyways
I do agree that chainmail has niche uses, and can be good with lots of healing (maybe like a Swan Cloak + Mermaid Tear build), BUT I'm mostly just upset by what I consider to be an excessive nerf, tbh 😅 it's a spiteful ranking, partially
Haven't played the game in a while now since other bangers have come out, and one of the reasons ive realized is that OP builds are few and far between. In games like Windblown that just came out, you can get OP builds every run, BUT they balance that out by making every enemy hit like trucks, so tank builds are essentially non existent. In Ravenswatch, the devs nerfed almost every OP build once they were found, so the average player doesnt feel like its worth their time to play a game where you are not powerful most of the time AND the enemies hit like trucks. Its a shame cause COTDG is one of my favorite rogues, and they really had a lot of potential to make this one the best. Regarding the tier list, i generally agree with most of it. Chainmail is complete garbage now, what a fall from grace. Ravens effigy used to be a S tier IMO but is about a B now. Thats the sad thing about these items, is they should feel powerful but most of them are just blah and i would rather get more common or rare items than some of these.
I have definitely aired my grievances with the team nerfing a lot of stuff. To me, it doesn't make sense to do such heavy nerfs considering there's no competitive ladder in the game. But it is their game to make changes to and shape as they see fit, so I can't blame them too much. It's just disappointing sometimes. I think instead of nerfing OP things, they should aim to add more challenging things into the game, even higher difficulties. But that's just my opinion 😅 Anyways, I've been enjoying Windblown as well. And you're right, those enemies do sure hit hard. That pirate boss... yeesh. And everything in the Incubator lmao. Very fun game, though!
No way blurs eye is not s tier. It's probably the strongest build around item at the moment. It turns all charges into nightmare ichor without downside. And mad hat and father's hour glass are not in f tier? We have something to talk about 😂
I'm just not a huge fan of balor's eye cuz it takes two instances of luck to make it do anything. One you have to get balors, two you have to get a power or special charge, somehow. And with my luck, it's one or the other, never both. It's good when you get it, but it relies too heavily on RNG, imo. I can definitely see it being above the Nightmare items within B Tier, tho. As for mad hat and father time's hourglass, I think they're both good items as well. No negatives, purely positive effects. They might not be the most impactful, but that's not a bad thing!

it is not readable. for the future please make lists that one can read once the video is paused. :)
Well, had to make them fit in the categories. I could just use icons next time, no text
