Unique rebalance

The patch-notes tomorrow will cover a large number of unique item rebalances. Some of these are simple numerical changes, while others are closer to redesigns.

The following principles were applied in looking at rebalancing unique items:

Any item that drops very rarely should be justified in being that hard-to-find. Many very rare items have been improved, while a few were made more common.
Unique items that are acquired through specific high-tier bosses (for example, Elder and Shaper Guardians) should be balanced upwards where they were not up to par.
Unique items that dramatically affected diversity in an item slot would be addressed, either by nerfing excessive power, or by looking at what else was available in that item slot.
Items which were relatively very strong, but did not damage diversity could be made more rare.

Uber elder deathless without indigon and zerphyi, just poet & jugg (with nice gear i admit)
But maybe this does not need to be balanced, so more likely just the zerphiy ?

Cast on …
When looking at unique item balance, some items that offered triggered effects had their cooldowns reduced. It was difficult to do this without also looking at other triggered effects. As a result, the Cast on Critical Strike Support and Cast on Melee Kill Support will also have their cooldowns reduced.

Sweetie you were playing jugg with nice gear. Any build in the game can do uber elder like that.
