Overpowered energy-shielded vest?
Ashannar:
Nano mods are rare, so to do something powerful with them seems acceptable to me.
AlterAsc:
Would sell antigrav boots with boots slot included for such armor anytime.Even on AoB.

Energy vest may be overpowered with some modding and such, but it has a weight of 3 (about the same as some uniques). On the earliest floor it can spawn on (5), it has a 0.03% chance of spawning, and it goes down from there. That's a 1 in 2,548 chance to be picked to appear. Given 10 chances on that floor, it has a 0.39% chance of spawning. Also, that just the chance of the vest. Add in the chance of the nano pack or whatever you else you want to mod it with, and the overall chance drops from there. The scenario described is very unlikely.

These numbers are true and also misleading in terms of game balance. On an individual level, every 'OP' item could be justifible by considering probability, yet given enough items, you have a very high probability of finding a low probability item in one game.
I don't actually see us at that point and I think our weighting system defers the issue, but items like this may need to be nerfed on an aggregate basis rather than individual weighting.
...or just give these items to enemies :P

Some buggers already can use the vest. Quite nasty on a hell baron when all you have is your plasma rifle ...
