 Before him 230 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 219 of those were killed.
 2 of those were killed by something unknown.
 1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 6 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 2 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

What is that "incident" about ?
Huh, seems an interesting feature. And a good way to make a mortem even longer... and more interesting ! :)

...

...Necroarmor ? Gothic boots ? This is how my happiness because of new release became a ruin.

Um yeah, I don't know what's your problem with the Uniques -- it's all been discussed here O.o

My only source of umbrage is that some of my names were deemed too silly while 'Gothic Boots' got in. I mean, god, they sound like something you'd buy at Hot Topic, not an artifact :P

The source was "Gothic Armor" from Diablo -- I never thought that sounded silly, but I'm not a native speaker. Anyway, this is one name that I'm least sure of, so do you have a better suggestion? There's a armor "Gothic Armor" too. They are absurdly heavy, and reduce speed and knockback, but have really high protection. I thought of "Moloch Armor/Boots" as a name instead, but that would be silly too? (and a reference to adom ^^).

Anyway, they were called "Gothic Hell Armor/Boots" before that, so note the improvement ^^.

P.S. There's another set called "Phaseshift Armor/Boots" -- does that sound silly too? And a cookie for anyone that will know* what they reference too :D.

They don't sound silly to me, as when I hear the term gothic in reference to armor I think of intricately designed old style armor. Something out of the middle ages, rather than something from Hot Topic. Gothic Hell Armor/Boots did however sound silly. Dropping the Hell makes a world of a difference.

As for Phaseshift, without googling I'd guess it's from Planescape: Torment...would I be correct?

Tastes vary, of course, but I would suggest something such as 'Unholy Boots' or 'Unholy Armour'. If you're giving a boots and armour the same name though, that suggests (to me, at least) that they're a set, and that they either have very similar effects, or that you gain bonuses for equipping them both at the same time. If neither of these is the case, I'd suggest changing their prefixes slightly.
Anyway, some possible names, off the top of my head:

Unholy Boots/Armour
Sin's Durance Armour (Durance means imprisonment... Which conveys the idea that they would limit your movement speed, yet offer high protection).
Moloch's Armour/Boots  (A good idea, but I'd add the apostrophe s - Moloch is a famous demon/god).
Boots of Belial
Armour of Asmodeus
Full-Body Armour


Regarding GenTechJ's point, Gothic Armour doesn't sound silly, as it is a legitimate type of armour - made in the German region (yes, in the middle ages) - but Gothic Boots, to me, do.

'Necroarmour' also sounds a bit cheesy. 'Necromantic Armour' would be better, IMHO.
